If you think this looks similar to an M4 GTS, you’re right. The body kit is actually an unused design proposal for the GTS by Flossman Auto Design. It’s full carbon fiber and the only one of these kits in the US, with 3 existing world-wide. It’s also sitting on HRE wheels and JRZ RS coilovers.
Now this isn’t some standard M4 with a body kit, this has the full Dinan Stage 3 tune, raising horsepower to a whopping 575 and increasing the torque to 560 ft/lb. That’s an increase of 150 HP and 154 ft/lbs!
Additionally, the interior has been redone. Out are sound deadening and the back seats, in are the Recaro bucket seats with a 6-point racing harness, along with a half-cage that’s welded into the rear strut towers, making the car much stiffer. Thanks to the carbon fiber body kit and stripped down interior, this car has taken a 400 lb diet, bring the total to a hair under 3000 pounds. Also notice the six-speed manual, something never available on the M4 GTS. This is truly a driver’s car.
Around back, we have a manually adjustable rear wing, which provides real down-force, not just racecar looks. Also notice the one-off Eisenmann center exit exhaust, specially fabricated for this car and only this car. This was to make additional room for a fully functional diffuser.
Overall, a truly amazing purpose-built track car. The total cost for the build (not including the brand new M4 base car) was close to $90,000. It’s currently on sale for $129,900, which is a steal for what you’re getting: something designed to go toe-to-toe with very elite track specials, such as the Porsche 911 GT3 RS.

Also, out of curiosity, how has everyone liked have multiple posts for one trip? Do you like hearing about each car more individually and in detail or would you prefer a more bulk photo dump like I did before? I ask simply because I don’t want to spam or annoy people.

Woah, I bet that car is a whole lotta fun. I’m glad you just have pictures because otherwise it would break my fantasy that it sounds good too.

I just got my wisdom teeth pulled but hasn’t this been here before? Still cool regardless though.

I posted pics of it almost a year ago I believe, but now with more details and better quality photos.
EDIT: found it, photos are from a year ago but post was late December

BMW really needs to work on brightening up their interiors, perhaps moving away from ALL BLACK.
The body colored accents look cheap here whereas I like them on Cayman R’s and Lotus’

they’re not the nicest but I’m pretty sure that was a factory option, although I could be wrong

Yeah I believe it, familiar with this gen interior as it is very similar to my wife’s former 228i. Her terracotta seats did a lot to help break the monotony.

to be fair, they are fully functional, if not the best looking things

The only thing missing: paint the door accent trim to match that on the dashboard! Not sure how that one slipped away...

If I’m not mistaken, the painted trim is actually factory!

I’d rather have the BMW, it’s faster, has better handling, and I’m not a huge fan of the 911

Shouldn’t be factory... The dashboard trim on these is actually two parts:
The bottom strip (red in the above pic) matches the trim on the doors, while the main bit (carbon in the above pic) is a separate finish.
Looking at the one you posted a bit closer, it looks like they replaced the factory dash trim with an aftermarket one-piece variant...but they left the door trim stock haha
