The highly-awaited BMW M4 GTS will arrive in 2016 and will be sold as a Model Year 2017. The super sporty M4 GTS is expected to be first unveiled in May at the 2015 M Festival. Our sources say ceramic brakes will be standard on the GTS and dual-clutch transmission is likely to be the only choice offered.
In addition to the obvious aerodynamic components, customers can look forward to some new lightweight elements on the M4 GTS. The weight benefits will also be realized through the omission of the rear bench and the use of extremely lightweight bucket seats.
