Vs. Cayman GT4
The wheels and wing are horrendous. Cayman GT4 please at this price point.

You CANNOT be serious. Less car? LMAO. Ever driven a GT4? The car is absolutely fantastic. I own one. One of the most amazing cars I've ever driven, and that speaks volumes.

The GTS is $50,000 more expensive at base price. No one buying a GTS will be cross-shopping a GT4. They will be cross-shopping GT3, or possibly used McLarens and maybe the i8 and 911 turbo.
That said, I'd honestly rather have the GT4 over the GTS. |

anyone picking the GTS over the GT4 cayman falls into one of these categories:
I love what BMW did with the GTS in terms of performance and such, but at that price range, the GT3 and other similar offerings are much more appealing. me, personally, I'd take this beauty anyday of the week, and thrice on sundays (on a track)

The M4 GTS seems to be more closely matched to the 911GT3 than the Cayman GT4.

I track a lot in our short season with over 20 days at the track this year with my M4 The GT4 is way overgeared for serious track duty with the amount of power & torque that is has. I really think the GTS has the ability to be a very good track car and do intend to use it to its potential.My M4 so far has been quite good at the track with only brake pads & tires as the mods. The only things that I am not happy with is that the CCB 's are standard and I will change to steels before seriously tracking it and the seats with no belt pass through. |

GT4 is a beautiful car to say the least, and I would take it on looks alone. A good GT4 driver will beat a ok GT3 any day of the week. My point here would apply to a GTS driver as well ......I would say 95% of us aren't skilled enough to max out these performance cars. Hell just have fun no matter which one you choose. The GTS is just ugly in my opinion, and I think they could have done a better job in the looks category. I could care less if I could have gotten 1 of the 300 bound for the US looks like a tricked up 435 .......
Got a note from my Porsche dealer yesterday was I interested in a GT4 for 120k 10k over MSRP, and it had 1000k miles I said ha are you serious NO! As a buyer we all control the hype, and the less we bite they have to stop gauging. The bubble will burst boys 2016 GDP will not hold up, and cars will pile up. Once the GT3RS market dries up, and the over supply of Mclarens keep flooding the market options will be out there. Just get me a 458 2012 for about 185k sub 10k miles I'm a happy camper. Just have a brain lock paying over 200k for a car just feels wrong. With that said enjoy your M cars, and have some fun and they are all just cars never be loyal to just one brand too many hot choices out there! |

Don't think anyone on this board has an allocation for a GTS?? If so I would guess they're the lucky owner of a 200k M4 damn that hurts. (My assumptions with Mark up)

That's some California BS. Your avatar suggests you are in ATL - I'd honestly be surprised that they've started doing that around here. I haven't heard of many dealers outside of SoCal and the Bay area trying to pull that +$20k over MSRP crap on the new allocations. Plenty of folks in the SE, myself included, got GT4 allocations at MSRP. Porsche GT cars are definitely in a bubble - I suspect we'll see more normalized depreciation in time. |

As a strategy for spending GTS money on something else, for the person that enjoys driving for the pure joy of driving whether it be on track or street IMO one couldn't do better than this.

Honestly though, I'm starting to think the perfect car for a weekend drive would be a 991 GTS w/ 7 speed manual. I don't think I would buy an M4 GTS. For that kind of money there's other cars I would consider.
