BMW M4 GT3 - The $500,000 Racing Car!

The new BMW M4 GT3 is priced at $530,000. An additional Competition Package adds another $55,000. Needless to say, the BMW M4 GT3 is one of the most advanced racing cars ever engineered and built by BMW Motorsport. The car can be raced in the GT Daytona and GT Daytona Pro classes of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.
The P58 M TwinPower Turbo engine in the M4 GT3 is based on the S58 found in the new M4 Competition Coupe. 590 hp and 516 lb-ft - this is the most powerful straight-six engine BMW has installed in a racing car since the days of the BMW M1 Group 5.
But the M4 GT3 is more than just its engine. The technology inside the cockpit is spectacular and it deserves a video of its own. To learn more about the racing car, we got a private tour behind the scenes with Tom Plucinsky, Head of Department BMW USA Product Communications.

BMW: "So look at our trans-axle design, cockpit, wing mount.." Guy:" Oh wow cool stickers"

[@eriklarson9137]

Yeah. I had to peace out pretty quickly. Lol.

[@EliasRizk53]

The front grills look awesome

[@bmwblog]

Much better on the racing car

[@EliasRizk53]

Yess

[@DarkPrinceEV]

Whenever someone says they are ugly i wanna slap them! They are gorgeous! Way way better than the normal M4 and makes the car look angry and badass just like good old BMWs. Haven't been the biggest fan of BMW designs in the past years but M4 Competition is such a beauty!

[@thestayathomedad4240]

Yes it does

[@bestopinion9257]

It is horrible but at least it has a purpose.

[@thamaesta]

Too bad, guy is only commenting about the stickers. He should be asking questions about engine and suspension

[@FreshlySnipes]

100% “What do you do with Motul”… uh, they provide oils? 😂😂

[@dominicgojcaj]

Thanks Tom!

[@nick-dm3if]

Its like this guy has never seen a racecar lol

[@B1gN00dleS]

Underrated video

[@Geetr469]

Thanks Tom. You are very knowledgeable on this car

[@bmwblog]

Tom knows all there is about BMW racing

[@se461]

Love the front grill!!!!

[@craigyirush3492]

Very interesting. Thanks.

[@bmwblog]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@hemberd927]

Bravo BMW

[@EddieSLX]

Aircon awesome!

[@paramdeepdhaliwal9694]

Good luck bmw 👍

[@Ivanoskyao]

Best sounding turbo engine!

[@lawerancelanham]

Well...while that camera exists in my sim, it doesn't put that green arrow on my rear screen 😆

[@claudioagmfilho]

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻, Such a cool car,,,

[@patrickbryan3161]

Another great video 👍🏾

[@bmwblog]

Appreciate it

[@weesky2000]

Mini GT will release both #24 and #25 cars. I pre ordered them.

[@bmwblog]

Very cool! Enjoy them

[@DuncanInUK]

I am confused by the front suspension setup. Where on earth are the front springs and shocks?

[@donzmeuheu6153]

😍BMWM4GT3😍

[@boda4339]

4 thou runout on the rotor is about all your can tolerate before you get the steering wheel shimmies or pedal vibration.

[@russu1479]

The rear brakes r big brakes unlike street car , can the street car get this upgrade as well?

[@Carlos12t3lovesyamahas]

As long as this car has turning lights. Its legal in my state🙏

[@trumotion2486]

So the transaxle sits higher and the engine sits lower.

[@chabweezy9905]

Rear transaxle isn’t odd at all. Corvette has had them for a while

[@lawerancelanham]

Yeah but he said they put the alternator and 3 other things in there 🤣

[@idealine2278]

I need that steering wheel that use with sim and real life

[@lawerancelanham]

Me too but not for 1.5k. Nope

[@drew5200]

How do I put my name on the waitlist lol

[@bmwblog]

You build a private racing team :)

[@JohnGuyu]

🌝🍿✨ Grey Break 🖤♠️🌞

[@funkytransport]

RE: wing - it leaves the lower surface free of anything for better flow.

[@victorreitstatter1705]

somehow this wouldnt make a lot of sense i believe since the supports that run in front of the wing would be something that disrupt the airflow underneath the wing, in front of the wing and a bit above the wing

[@michael5455]

@@victorreitstatter1705 clear bottom means the low pressure being created under the wing is cleaner and less disrupted which makes room for more down force, better to have slight ly disturbed high pressure on top and full clean low pressure below than the other way around for downforce

[@victorreitstatter1705]

@@michael5455 this makes sense! thanks

[@eriklarson9137]

I like how $500k is so important to you that you mention it over and over. Like... That isn't a lot for a race car, guy.

[@bmwblog]

I guess not everyone knows how much a GT racing car costs.

[@bobibob5442]

HARPER HARPER

[@nick-dm3if]

Its to bad a regular m4 isnt like this at all

[@bmwblog]

Yeah, that would have been cool

[@alexmartinez280]

The 3.0 CSL will be like this car. Only 50 units and BMWs new Halo car… coming soon!!!

[@Adrian-lc6jq]

This guy has covid i can tell by his cough

[@MovistarMonster]

It needs a better wrap 🥴

[@dr.moreau7844]

1:48 The air coming from the intercooler does not then enter any turbo .... where did this guy escape from ... ?

[@Ivanoskyao]

You mixing all up. The turbos suck air from outside thru air filters, that air is then directed thru the intercooler which then goes into intake and the engine. That air is compressed when it’s sucked by the turbos, so it gets hot, hot air is less dense so it’s no good for horsepower. So the intercooler are cooling that air with cold air coming thru the grill, that air, which becomes hot from heat exchange, is vented out above the hood because it’s not good to stay in the engine bay.

[@bongobob7079]

"These look like michelin" Whatever gave that away?

[@marijn17s]

Lmao fr
