After years of shying away from publishing official Nurburgring lap times, BMW has finally revealed the official lap time of the already sold out M4 GTS

BMW M4 GTS Nurburgring

BMW has just published a video depicting the M4 GTS registering a blistering-fast 7:27.88 lap time on the revered and fearsome track. Now, we knew the M4 GTS was fast, but this achievement puts in a different league altogether.

In fact, the time registered is similar (with probably a few tenths of a second between them) to the ones registered by the Carrera RS, 458 Italia, and MP4-12C. To put it simply, it is easier to list the cars faster than the M4 GTS than the ones slower.

First unveiled to the world in October, the BMW M4 GTS made a big splash with its carbon fibre body details, titanium exhaust system, OLED taillights, and water injection technology, helping the 3.0-litre TwinTurbo 6-cylinder engine churn out a commendable 500 PS of peak power BMW has reportedly sold every one of the 700 examples produced, after being on sale for around two months. This is despite a hefty price premium over the regular M4, placing it around 40,000 euros (Rs 28 lakh) more expensive than the M5.

Jorg Weidinger, BMW M chassis development test driver, was responsible for the fast lap and the Germans are saying the exact time is “between 7:27:51 and 7:28:49.” His official time, however, hasn’t been released yet, as BMW M GmbH, Daimlerstr decided to run a contest based on Weidinger’s amazing lap time.
