Back in August, we got confirmation that the M4 GT3 would sport the controversial grille that has since grown on us, and we have to admit: this thing looks awesome. The exterior of the GT3 shares the production car s grille size. The roof also features two longitudinal fins like its road-going sibling. The most notable difference however is the rear end. The racing car is 3 inches wider on each side, but we have carried over the rear lights from the production car and the rear contour of the trunk lid is also the same, said Anne Forschner, Exterior Designer BMW M4 Competition.
Apparently, there s some common ground.
The BMW M4 is proving to be one of the most interesting sports cars of its generation, completely diverging from everything that people expect from a relatively small M car. Not only is the styling divisive, but for the first time, you can have your M3 or M4 with all-wheel-drive.
Despite causing controversy, we love the M4, and those who understand motorsport love it too. BMW s first drifting team, the Driftbrothers, has commented on how much like a racing car the standard M4 already is, but is there any substance to that claim? Well, according to the people who built it and compared the regular M4 to its GT3 sibling, the answer is yes.
