Description

Chassis No. WBS4Y9C50JAC86669

In 2018, BMW launched the M4 GT4, a turnkey race car tailored for private racing teams in the GT4 category. Derived from the M4 road car, it shares the 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged "S55" inline-six and seven-speed dual clutch transmission, along with common electronic systems like traction control, ensuring cost-effectiveness, ease of maintenance, and drivability. Further race engineering cues were borrowed from its GT3-class counterpart. The chassis is homologated under the SRO GT4 regulations, catering primarily to amateur drivers, and the engine's output is adjusted to 425 horsepower in compliance with Balance of Performance rules. Debuting at the 2017 Nürburgring 24 Hours, the M4 GT4 was widely adopted, garnering 33 victories and over 100 podium finishes in its inaugural year, culminating in it being awarded "Race Car of the Year" at the 2018 Professional MotorSport World Expo Awards.

To enhance performance, the M4 GT4 sheds weight with carbon fiber components like the hood and doors, while aerodynamic improvements such as a carbon fiber front splitter, canards, and rear wing enhance downforce. Safety is ensured with an FIA-compliant roll cage, GT3-derived racing seats, and pedal box. Braking capability is bolstered by AP Racing calipers, complemented by Öhlins dampers and adjustable anti-roll bars. A race exhaust system, large fuel cell, and air jacks facilitate extended race durations and efficient pit stops. Inside, motorsport-specific controls like the steering wheel and digital dash meet the needs of competitive racing, with road car-derived shift paddles ensuring familiarity while making the M4 GT4 a formidable contender in GT4 racing series worldwide.

Purchased new by a noted BMW collector, this 2018 BMW M4 GT4 remains in virtually new condition, displaying only 15 miles at the time of cataloging and has never been raced or used on a track. With the model's worldwide success, nearly all of these special factory-built M4 GT4s have been campaigned by race teams or private owners, but not so, for this particular example. It is likely one of the few to remain in virtually "as delivered condition" offering the enviable option for those looking for an uncampaigned, factory-built GT4 BMW for an exciting track day. This is certainly one of the most potent race-bred, modern BMW collectibles.
