THE BMW M4 GT3.The new icon.

With the BMW M4 GT3, the BMW M Motorsport product range has had a new figurehead since the start of the 2022 season. The new GT3 car succeeds the BMW M6 GT3 and offers BMW M Motorsport teams and drivers all over the world the opportunity to challenge for victories and titles in a GT3 model based on the latest generation of BMW M4. The biggest improvements compared to the BMW M6 GT3, are in three areas: driveability, cost efficiency and operation. The BMW M4 GT3’s handling and cockpit equipment are more comfortable for amateur drivers, while the car is easier on the tyres and offers greater consistency. Far lower lifecycle costs and longer maintenance intervals for the engine and transmission are vital economic factors. The new BMW M4 Competition provides the perfect basis for the new top model from BMW M Motorsport (fuel consumption (combined): 9.8 l/100 km acc. WLTP; combined CO2 emissions: 224 – 223 g/km acc. WLTP), whose engine was designed from the outset for use at the racetrack. This underlines how road car and race car development always go hand in hand at BMW M GmbH. As well as private outings in top-class racing series around the world and endurance classics, the BMW M4 GT3 also goes up against international GT3 competition in the new GTD-PRO class in the IMSA series.

ENGINE.

The straight-six cylinder engine is around 40 kilos lighter than the V8 engine in the BMW M6 GT3, providing reduced driving weight and improved weight distribution. Compared to the S58 engine in the BMW M4 Competition, it has been optimized in the following areas: angle of installation, dry sump, engine-mounted oil tank with integrated oil-water exchanger, intake system with gas exchange split and two butterflies, exhaust system with gas exchange split, engine mount and fixing adjusted for GT3, torsional vibration dampers at the rear.

TYRES.

Tyre types from various manufacturers were tested for the BMW M4 GT3 to ensure optimal preparation for the conditions in different racing series.

STEERING WHEEL.

Adjustment and activation of essential settings for driver in race mode, e.g. traction control, radio, ABS, engine mapping, windscreen wipers, drink system. Produced in cooperation with FANATEC for use in both real car and race simulator.

CLUTCH.

Electro-hydraulic, thus lower wear, operated via paddles on steering wheel, no need for clutch pedal, stall prevention, partially-automated start up possible.

BMW M TRACK COCKPIT.

Allows many basic configurations of the systems in the car without connecting a laptop or special software, e.g. preselection of charging pressure graph, selection of series-specific functions, adjustment of pit speed, selection of fuel type, system diagnosis, sensor calibration.

TRANSMISSION.

Trans-axle design, sequential, straight-toothed 6-speed gearbox, further development of the gearbox in the BMW M8 GTE with improvements regarding increased runtime, cost efficiency and performance.

The models illustrated include optional equipment.

Due to regular software updates, screen designs in the communication may differ from the actual screen design in your car.

Official data on power consumption and electric range were determined in accordance with the mandatory measurement procedure and comply with Regulation (EU) 715/2007 valid at the time of type approval. In case of a range, figures in the NEDC take into account differences in the selected wheel and tire size; figures in the WLTP take into account any optional equipment. WLTP values are used for assessing taxes and other vehicle-related charges that are (also) based on CO2 emissions, as well as for the purposes of vehicle-specific subsidies, if applicable. Where applicable, the NEDC values listed were calculated based on the new WLTP measurement procedure and then converted back to the NEDC measurement procedure for comparability reasons. For newly type-tested vehicles since 01.01.2021, the official data no longer exist according to NEDC, but only according to WLTP. For more information on the WLTP and NEDC measurement procedures, see https://www.bmw.com/wltp.

For further information about the official fuel consumption and the specific CO2 emission of new passenger cars can be taken out of the „handbook of fuel consumption, the CO2 emission and power consumption of new passenger cars“, which is available at all selling points and at https://www.dat.de/co2/.

All vehicles, equipment, combination possibilities and varieties shown here are examples and can differ in your country. In no way do they constitute a binding offer by the BMW M GmbH.
