I have never doubted the performance capabilities of the M4 GTS from BMW but there is no way the car could beat-up a BMW motorcycle in a drag race…not even in a million years. It is proven that motorcycles are way too fast than conventional cars, and that seems to be an impossible mission for the potent M4 GTS.

Even so, putting two BMW products altogether, no matter what they are (car or bike) it is a fun exercise to learn from each other, and the video below, provided by motoring.com.au, is just trying to do that. The video is giving us an up-close of the outstanding characteristics of both BMW products on a track test.

Even if today`s motorcycles are built to last, becoming safer and safer thanks to their plethora of safety systems and advanced mechanics, I would personally drive one during summer weekends and choose the BMW M4 GTS for some hefty throttling or driving session on the track. Even so, the thrill and the excitement you feel while being on an S1000RR bike don’t match those of the M4 GTS.

So there are plenty of advantages and disadvantages of driving an M4 GTS vs riding an outstanding BMW S1000RR. It just depends on what you want.

If you want an amazing car that literally sticks you to the seat, then take the BMW M4 GTS`s impressive performance and sprint – just 3.8 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h achieved thanks to a high-performance system which comprises a conventional 3.0-liter turbocharged engine with water-injection technology, for an overall 493 horsepower.

If you need a fast bike from BMW, then our suggestion would be going for the S1000RR, an exceptional two-wheel machine with quick response, stability and fast speed. You can find out more in the video below!

The more potent version of the standard BMW M4, the M4 GTS, was launched last year around the same period, with the model being seen in lots of reviews, smashing videos and tens of drive tests. Now a new drive test carried out by Drive.com.au is giving us the chance of reviewing most of the car`s impressive highlights.

Aussie magazine Drive.com.au has taken the BMW M4 GTS out for a spin on public roads near New South Wales, having the opportunity of testing out its driving capabilities and sheer performance under the hood. The model handles extremely well on public roads and tight corners, especially since it sits low to the ground, proving as well a comfortable ride with increase stability, all thanks to the adjustable suspension and lowering springs.

The power is also felt at a completely new level, as the BMW M4 GTS comes with brute force, thanks to 500 horsepower and 442 lb-ft of torque, allowing a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds. And the straight line is run with an amazing engine sound, also thanks to the titanium exhaust system.

Besides the sheer powertrain, the car`s impressive performance is also achieved thanks to the much more improved handling dynamics and updated steering, all complemented by a lightweight platform, tweaked with carbon fiber composites all around the body. Amongst the most important parts, we should mention the carbon fiber reinforced plastic on the bonnet, roof, front splitter, rear diffuser and extremely wide and adjustable rear wing.

As a reminder, the 3.0-liter six-cylinder turbocharged engine works closely with the car`s new water injection cooling system, first fitted underneath the M4 MotoGP, and which allows the M4 GTS increase the turbo boost pressure and thus generate more torque and power. All the power is channeled to the rear via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

If you are an US citizen and also a fan of the BMW M3s and you really want to get this BMW M3 GTS, I think that you feel very disappointed right now or at last I would be but some of you may think that it’s a good reason not to buy such a car but others may get mad.

The reason that this 2011 BMW M3 GTS is not going to be released in US is that it doesn’t pass any EPA or federal safety standards. Also, this 2011 BMW M3 GTS weight 3,285 pounds while the 2011 BMW M3 weights 3,704 pounds so it’s quite a big difference.

I would also want to remind you that this 2011 BMW M3 GTS has a 4.4 liter V8 engine that is able to develop up to 450 horsepower so maybe this is the reason that it is not so safe: the big power
