Welcome back everybody. Today I'm going to share with you the top six things you
need to know about the BMW M4 GTS. I bet you didn't know some of these and I'm
going to share that with you today. The first thing that you need to know are
the LED taillights, not only the LED ,but they're actually configurable and
they're unique for the BMW M4 GTS. They're not the same ones found on a
standard M4 and the beautiful thing here is when you switch it to normal mode,
it's a broader and L type spectrum on the taillights. When you switch the car
to sport mode it's a much more focused, stronger, intense light. So it's actually
configurable, depending on the drive mode that you engage. This is the second
thing I bet you didn't know. That's the fact that the M4 GTS also has a water
injection system. Why? Because the standard car puts out about 17.2 PSI of
boost while the GTS actually puts out 21.5 PSI. This creates a lot of
heat in the intake, and therefore the system uses a light spray mist of water.
It's pumped into the intake plenum under boost conditions, which coincidentally is
fed from a system located under the trunk mat in the back of the car. Oh, and
also what you need to know about that, is it will run in temperatures as low as 41
degrees Fahrenheit, if for some reason you're in colder temperatures. Or the
fact that you don't have water available, you run out of water for example, the car
will revert back to competition spec, which will then produce the 444
horsepower versus the full GTS spec of 495 horsepower. Did you know also, the
third thing is that the M4 GTS comes equipped with a fully manually,
adjustable ride height on the suspension? Both front and back, it allows you to adjust
the dampening settings, front and back as well. The car includes a tool, now it's a techie
piece, a lot of people like that kind of stuff. The guys that love wrenching on
their cars pull a car into the pits, basically jack it up, pull the wheels,
make that adjustment. It's very techie and geeky for those guys that love that,
but it's a very very cool function. Normally you wouldn't ride around on
race height, but if you to do that, there's a tool included
in the toolkit, and if you're wondering why there's an extra space available in
the toolkit, that's because it allows you to place and store the screws and the
bolts that come out of the suspension after you make certain adjustments. The
fourth thing that actually comes unique for the BMW M4 GTS, also not found on any
factory BMWs, or M4s, or any of that for that matter, is it has a three position,
fully adjustable, rear carbon fiber wing. Now what is interesting about that, is
also the fact that it has side plates, of course, as shown in the photos. But
those side plates are actually installed upside down in the US versions, because
of the third brake light, and that causes you know, a lack of visibility, and
therefore BMW opted to actually install them upside down in the US market.
Otherwise it's a completely similar piece of hardware and when you adjust
the wing to the most aggressive, fully steeped setting, it actually produces
over two hundred and ten pounds of downforce at a hundred and eighty-three
miles per hour. It gives you a lot more bite, a lot more
grip in the corners. The next item you may or may not know, in some cases, if
you've seen the car, you'll know it's very visible, and that is the roll cage
in the back of the car. That roll cage is a very convoluted complex set of tubes
nicely wrapped along the top edge, just for cosmetics, but it is there mainly
because this car is fully intended to be a track car. That roll cage there
facilitates basically getting the car set up and operating on the truck. You're
going to have to give up some friends. Likely you're only going to have one friend
in this situation, and you know what, definitely I would say you're going to have
to leave the wife and the kids at home if you're taking this car for a drive.
Now the next thing that I have to mention, this is the sixth and certainly
not the least thing that you need to know about the BMW M4 GTS, is the fact that
this car is in very, very, low production numbers. When I say low, originally BMW
slated only 700 models to be built. 300 were going to the USA, 80 were going to
Germany, 50 were allotted for Canada, 15 in China, and 30 were going to the UK.
Now after that whole production run, BMW felt the need to actually add a few more.
There was actually a few more added to the production run before they cancelled
the entire run, thus resulting in a total production count of about 803.
Either way, 700 or 803, at the end of the day, that makes this car a very, very low
production number car, and almost guarantees resale and collector car
status in a few years from now. As a matter of fact, right now if you really
want one of these cars they're very, very difficult to find,
and as a result sometimes if you really want the car, and you need to have it, you
almost have to buy what you can find in the moment. So everybody I really hope
you enjoyed the video, make sure you give me a thumbs up, don't forget a comment,
and please subscribe to the channel. I'd love you guys to come back, check out a
lot more of my videos. I have lots to offer, BMW and so on. So far there's some
pretty exciting news coming up very soon too by the way, but definitely come back
for the next one and we'll talk to you soon. Bye bye.
