Agree a little bit l, but fair play to BMW it's all function in that wing etc . Don't understand all the hating, Very impressive figures on this GTS, would love a drive in one! Also received rave reviews.

Agreed though that a Pcar GTS has function and form

Having sold most of them, I don't think they have. To be fair, the angle of that photo doesn't do it any favours. It is a epic car, but as said, for £130k, I'd be looking elsewhere.

I actually quite like it. Bonkers money, but the look is very functional.

Each to their own I guess, but I wouldn't pay 80K for a 3 series never mind 130.

2014 BMW F82 M4  [0.00]
I had a sit in it was very nice but then the guy started it up and revved it up - was noisy but not a patch on a decent v8/v10

Yep, they really have cocked up, 7m 28sec nurburgring time, 100 mph in less than 8 seconds, charged 120k for the thing and sold them all.

Fools....

I get it, but would have the Schnitzer at £50k cheaper.

You think it's a 3 series though? Really? Have you seen the cars it's beaten or is very close to 'ring time'? It's just a collection item track performance beast.

Not to mention THE fastest BMW ever built. Yes it's off a 4 series platform ...but it is completely different.

I think we'd all rather a 911 GT3 but in reality obtaining either would be harder than you'd think.

You said they (BMW) had got it badly wrong, but they've built a 4 series that's as quick as a McLaren 12c and 991 GT3 RS and quicker than a Zonda F and Ferrari F12 Merc SLS Merc GTS etc....round the ring and sold them all.

Please explain how that isn't a stonking commercial and engineering success, to turn a pudding of a reps car (like the one you drive) into a car that can live with and beat supercars cars costing sometimes 2 or 3 times as much?

You don't have to like it, but to say they have got it badly wrong, is a statement not based on reality.

I agree, for me I love the car, but just dont like the wheels, i'll have the chance to see one in the flesh in a few weeks so I may change my mind...

I'm not keen on the wheels or the wing or the splitter but the wing and splitter are doing a job so there's no get around there, you can always change the wheels though to the carbon ones they do.

But I think they should be applauded for doing this, as a piece of automotive engineering.

Well said mate ^

They could of maybe made the thing look better but there is no doubting its capability and engineering.

Because the cars you have mentioned are design AND engineering master pieces, as quick and balanced as it might be, it looks dreadful to me. Like I said, each to their own. It's mad money for what it is.
