I got selected to buy the M4 GTS?
Guys especially more of our collector oriented guys.. Would you take the spot to pick up a M4 GTS one of 400 state side?
135k for an M4 no less is closing in on used huracan money. What are your thoughts? The email said I have till April something to order, and a Fedex with a hand written invite and serial number will be delivered... |

Used Huracan money? What data do you have to support this? These are the latest auction prices (low ballers).
03/23/16 PALM BCH Regular $226,000 2,552 Above WHITE 10G A Yes 03/11/16 DALLAS Regular $218,500 6,073 Avg Gray 10C A Yes 02/22/16 ARENA IL Regular $230,000 692 Above Black 10G A Yes 02/10/16 RIVRSIDE Regular $222,000 2,133 Avg BLACK 10G A Yes 02/10/16 RIVRSIDE Regular $222,000 1,814 Avg BIANCO I 10G A Yes 02/04/16 PALM BCH Regular $218,000 365 Avg GREEN 10G A Yes © 2016 Manheim. All rights reserved. With that being said, I have no input on the GTS as Ive not done enough research but based on rarity and price it might be a good option.

In all seriousness, I think unless one intends on tracking the car, it's a waste of a car, but probably not money. It will probably appreciate in value, even more so if you keep it a garage queen, but then what's the point? Cars are meant to be driven and experienced.

and honestly I'd just park the thing in the garage if it is going to be special, again having the m4 I don't see anything truly special. It does everything well and is a value, but it isn't something I'll look back and laud over having owned, like the E60 M5, or the E92 M3, or my GTR. |

For this it would be simply about being special, but if its not in-fact doing that and I'm looking at having what was akin to a lime rock/ frozen e92 then I want no part of that because at least to me those cars were special. |

Same lmao SMG life lol
But you get my point those cars and engines will be lauded after for the next 20-50 years... Where I don't see what the lasting legacy of the M4/F10 era will be... I mean maybe if you all get the m5/4 running 7s or 8s lmao. |

LOL yeah thats what I tell people about the F10 m5... Having beat the living shit out of mine for 20k miles I'd honestly not bat an eye to buy one that had 1 or 2 owners with 60-90k miles on it just from what I've seen from the car. Its insanely reliable.

Friends who work at bmw are telling me it'll be a tad more different than that like first production car in the US to use water injection, but still fundamentally yes lol. its 135k+ 6% tax on an M4
I don't wanna end up in a year hearing they're gonna mass produce them lmao and then I really will have a 70k M4 lmao |

Being a king owner I love the car for what it does, and mainly being convertible. I wouldn't buy the GTS for MSRP I think it's one horrible looking car, and BMW's reputation for mass production is not the greatest. They have slapped a m badge on everything they build, and good for them it makes money. To park the car in the garage and hope it appreciates is pointless to me because a car is meant to be enjoyed vs. waiting for it to make some coin. I've yet to meet a non professional driver drive a car to the limit, and I can't get close to 70% of the limit in my GT3. Too many options at 135k minus the mark up, and doesn't look better than the M4 called a GTS with a bunch of bolt on parts. My two cents.

I really wouldn't bother, especially if you think of it as an investment and you don't intend on driving it much, let alone at the track...
Look at the F10 M5 jahre 30. Only like 300 made and massive sticker prices were paid over list, but we have one for sale in the uk now, fully spec'd with 300 miles on the clock, ceramics, akra exhaust etc. Etc.. For sale now at under £100k. That sure was not a sound investment for that buyer! I think the e92 m3 gts would be a better buy personally. That baby will keeps its value better as time goes by...

I really can't trust BMW on what they're going to do marketing wise. Who knows if this thing is lauded over they might be so inclined to make another 700 or another 800. And thats kinda my thinking now that I've talked to a bunch of people and am looking at it from a perspective of objectivity a 2014 GT3 or even an F430 is a much better car, with a much better following and legacy than a turbo v6 that sadly sounds terrible lol... |

Unfortunately most BMWs don't keep value very well-price of a used '13 M5 will low miles goes for what a used '15 M4 currently goes for.. If you wait long enough the values converge (look at '08/'09 M3 and M5s go for nowadays). Maybe M4 GTS will be different in retaining value, time will tell... |
