Own the Final Chapter of BMW’s M4 GTS Legacy
The 2016 BMW M4 GTS represented Munich’s most focused track weapon, a limited-production masterpiece that bridged the gap between road car and race machine. BMW produced just 803 examples globally, with only 300 originally earmarked for the United States. Now, the final M4 GTS ever produced, #803 of 803 is for sale on Exotic Car List with just 305 miles on the odometer, for an impressive $1 million.
When BMW introduced the M4 GTS in 2016, it commanded a base price of $135,195 before options, more than double the regular M4’s MSRP of $67,000. At launch, this positioned the GTS against competitors like the Porsche 911 GT3 RS and McLaren 570S, so you can be sure BMW made sure the M4 GTS was worth the ask.
The M4 That’s As Fast As a Porsche Carrera GT
The M4 GTS wasn’t simply a more powerful M4, it featured the world’s first production car water-injection system, making it both the first and last M car to feature this technology. This revolutionary system provided a 49-horsepower gain over the standard M4, spraying water into the intake manifold to cool the pressurized air-fuel mixture for more efficient combustion, an old hot-rodders’ trick. The result was the M4 GTS’ 493 horsepower and 442 lb-ft of torque.
The GTS philosophy extended beyond raw power. BMW stripped weight, added aggressive aerodynamics, installed a roll cage, and fitted manually-adjustable suspension. The result was a street-legal track car that could lap the Nürburgring in 7:28, matching the original lap time of the Porsche Carrera GT. It took BMW nearly a decade to beat that lap time, with the hardcore G82 M4 CSL setting a 7:18 lap in 2023.
2016, that’s about when BMW went totally downhill.
The BMW 3 Series was last included on Car and Driver’s 10Best list in 2023. It had previously made the list for 22 consecutive years, from 1992 through 2014, but the streak was broken in 2015.
NEVER, EVER BUY A USED BMW!!!!!!.....
I learned my lesson the hard way..................
Bemeers are design to last 30,000 miles...then just fall apart.

Maybe 60,000, but that's a problem. Quality has noticeably gone downhill over the past 10 years.
Last year I bought a 2013 BMW M3 Convertible, the last year of the V8, 44k miles.
I’m treating it well, hopefully it returns the favor!
“2016, that’s about when BMW went totally downhill”
Wife had a 5 series when we met in 2001.
So glad when we got rid of it in 2003! On first name basis with their service techs.
Toyota/Lexus since. Only normal service in 22 years.
Knock on wood, but so far my (used) 2017 MINI is holding up nicely. I’ve had it for more than a year now, and I absolutely love it.
I don’t drive it very often, though. It’s my “Ice Cream Car” — a good friend uses that phrase for a fun, weekend car.

NEVER, EVER BUY A New BMW!!!!!!....
No, they are designed to create a long term money stream for their PARTS & SERVICE departments.
Which they get a large portion of the repairs.
I think they decided to follow the example of Mercedes. Another luxury auto brand that is very expensive to repair and maintain.
Which is why I just bought a 2011 Lexus IS350C. It is a naturally aspirated V6 that was MADE IN JAPAN. I am the second owner. It came from Florida. Where it was maintained exclusively by the Lexus dealership that sold it.
Hopefully the M3 has better calipers, the standard E90 has crappy ones that go at about 8-10 years or 80,000 miles. Hopefully the rack doesn't go, that's a 4k plus job. Bilsteins may leak at 100k......not to mention other electronics.
Yes, they've built a pretty solid reputation, so far
Bought a 2010 128i in 2022 for, what I thought was a smoking deal of $5,000.
Into it for about the same amount since then for maintenance/repair. Currently not running; waiting for me to replace a rear ABS sensor.
Well, that’s only about $33/mile. Not bad, if you’re into wasting money.
Mine is a 2004 Z4 black convertible.
Sitting still for 3 years.
I call it my BLACK HOLE..........................
My 2015 Mini is still running well, but most mechanics will not even touch it. They just shake their heads and waive me off. Even Jiffy Lube has only one store in my area which will service it.
Water injection into a gasoline internal combustion engine always amazes me. It's counter-intuitive because you'd think that would rob engine power and reduce engine efficiency. But water injection in a gasoline internal combustion engine doesn't necessarily reduce overall engine efficiency. Here's why:
The basic warranty is for 4 years or 50K miles or what ever comes first.
