M4 GTS (2016)

Can you afford a 2016 BMW 4 Series M4 GTS in 2025?

# 2016 BMW M4 GTS The BMW M4 GTS represents the ultimate track-focused iteration of the F82 M4, limited to just 700 units worldwide. This stripped-down warrior features a water-injection system that boosts the twin-turbo inline-six to 493 horsepower, aggressive aerodynamics including a massive adjustable rear wing, and OLED taillights—a production-car first. Enthusiasts praise its laser-focused track capability and raw driving experience, though some criticize its harsh ride and steep $134,200 price tag. The controversial exterior styling, particularly the large wing, divides opinion. Famous for its technological innovations and as BMW M's most extreme M4 variant, it's become a collector's item. Today, it suits wealthy enthusiasts seeking a weekend track weapon with exclusivity and appreciating value, though its uncompromising nature makes it impractical for daily use.

The 2016 BMW M4 GTS, a limited-production track-focused variant, commands premium ownership costs. Its water-injection system requires specialized maintenance. Exotic components like adjustable suspension and OLED taillights are expensive to repair. Insurance costs are exceptionally high due to its $135,000+ original price and performance capabilities. Carbon-ceramic brakes cost thousands to replace.
