It is offered on Bring a Trailer by a dealer with bidding at $70,000 and five days remaining. The hook is a rare, hardcore M car with genuine carbon-fiber wheels, though one ownership issue needs close attention.2016 BMW M4 GTSBring a TrailerWhat it's worth right nowThe M4 GTS trades well below its original six-figure price, which is the value story here. It cost around $134,200 new, and today, according to Classic.com and recent auction results, clean examples generally change hands between about $70,000 and $85,000, with recent Bring a Trailer sales clustering in the low $70,000s and dealer asking prices reaching into the mid $80,000s. Mainstream appraisal tools list far lower figures, but they badly understate this limited, collectible model.AdvertisementAdvertisementThis car's specification helps its case. It has genuine, very expensive carbon-fiber wheels, which the seller verified with photos of the BMW part numbers after a commenter raised the common concern about replicas, along with the standard M ceramic-composite brakes, and at 9,000 miles, it is a low-mileage example.2016 BMW M4 GTSBring a TrailerAt $70,000 with five days remaining, bidding is at the lower end of the range and should rise. Fair value realistically lands in the $70,000 to $85,000 range, most likely the mid-to-high $70,000s, though the smog issue noted below is a real factor for buyers in some states.Condition and detailsThe car is finished in Frozen Dark Gray Metallic, the most common GTS color, and it carries the model's full arsenal: a carbon-fiber roof, hood, and front splitter, an adjustable rear wing, three-way adjustable coilovers, a titanium exhaust, the Acid Orange four-point roll bar in place of the rear seats, and the genuine carbon-fiber wheels. The twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six uses a water-injection system, a production-car first, to make 493 horsepower. The Carfax is clean, and the seller reports the car does not appear to have been tracked.2016 BMW M4 GTSBring a TrailerThe single most important issue is emissions. The seller clearly discloses that the car has high-flow catalytic converters and cannot pass a visual smog inspection in California, despite currently wearing a California title, and advises caution to anyone bidding from that state. For a California buyer, this is a significant obstacle that would require returning the car to a compliant configuration, so it must be factored in.2016 BMW M4 GTSBring a TrailerTwo more items deserve attention. The Acid Orange front splitter blade is missing, and commenters who called BMW put the replacement of the blade and its carbon adapter in the several-thousand-dollar range, so confirm what is included and price the shortfall. Knowledgeable GTS owners also flagged two model-specific checks worth making: the early billet steering knuckles can crack and are costly to replace, and the early water-injection pump is a known failure point with an updated version available, so verify which versions this car has.The offerSpecificationDetailMakeBMWModelM4 GTS (F82)Year2016Mileage9,000 milesEngineTwin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six with water injectionPower493 hp and 443 lb.ft of torqueTransmission7-speed M dual-clutch automaticDrive typeRear wheel drive with Active M differentialExterior colorFrozen Dark Gray MetallicInterior colorBlack leather and AlcantaraCurrent bid$70,000, with five days leftInterested in this 2016 BMW M4 GTS?

Produced for 2016 only in roughly 700 examples worldwide, it took the standard M4 and stripped and sharpened it, adding a titanium exhaust, adjustable coilovers, extensive carbon-fiber bodywork, and a roll bar where the rear seats used to be. It was quick enough to lap the Nürburgring faster than a Lamborghini Huracán of the period.2016 BMW M4 GTSBring a TrailerAdvertisementAdvertisementIts signature engineering feature is the water-injection system, a first for a production car, which sprayed a fine mist into the intake to cool the charge and allow more boost, lifting output to 493 horsepower. That combination of extreme focus, genuine rarity, and technical novelty has made the GTS a recognized modern collectible, trading at a steep discount to its original price while offering a driving experience few other M cars can match.My takeThis is one of the most special M cars of the modern era, and the appeal is real: a factory track weapon, produced for a single year in tiny numbers, with a genuinely novel water-injection engine and, on this car, the pricey carbon-fiber wheels that buyers covet. At well under its original sticker, it is a lot of hardcore performance and rarity for the money, and the low mileage only helps.I would place fair value in the $70,000 to $85,000 range, so the current $70,000 bid is at the low end with room to climb. The caution is specific and important: the high-flow cats mean this car cannot pass California smog as it sits, so a California buyer in particular needs to plan for that, and everyone should price in the missing front splitter blade and verify the steering knuckle and water-pump versions. Sort those questions, and this is a rare, thrilling M car bought at a fraction of what it cost new.Disclaimer: This post is for informational purposes only. We are not a dealership or broker.
