You can now bring home your very own BMW M4 GT4 race car, or at least you can watch the car run its first competitive laps at the Nurburgring 24 Hours this weekend.
It’s the latest model in the BMW Motorsport range and the German automaker says the BMW M4 GT4 has completed over 20,000 kilometers (12,427 miles) of testing, along with multiple hours in the wind tunnel, extensive validation runs for fine-tuning purposes and successful test outings under race conditions. Along with competing at the Nurburgring 24 Hours this weekend, the BMW M4 GT4 has already raced on the Nordschleife and the 24 Hours of Dubai.
Pricing for the BMW M4 GT4 starts from €169,000 ($189,580 USD) plus VAT and is ready for racing thanks to a comprehensive starter package. It features the engine and transmission from the BMW M4 Coupe, while the carbon fiber hood comes from the BMW M4 GTS. It also boasts carbon fiber doors, motorsport-specific front splitters and rear wings, and a racing exhaust system. The M4 GT4 is the first BMW Motorsport car to be fitted with power sticks, which can be pre-programmed for different engine performance levels.

“Even after many years, the launch of a new car is still one of the absolute highlights for me as BMW Motorsport Director,” said BMW motorsport director Jens Marquardt at the presentation event in the paddock at the Nürburgring. “The start of the sales phase sees us reach another milestone with the BMW M4 GT4. We are looking forward to seeing the car enjoy success in the hands of our customer teams from 2018. We are offering our customers a sophisticated and reliable GT4 car, which incorporates all of BMW Motorsport’s expertise, coupled with the strong basis provided by the BMW M4 Coupé. The development of the BMW M4 GT4 focussed on mileage, cost efficiency and ease of maintenance.”
