Thanks for posting. Not a lot of love for the M2, but why compare it to the Guilia? Amazing how polarizing the M4 GTS is.

I think tons of love for the M2, its just when considering the best car, this is a rough crowd. An I mean lots of great cars, I think the Guilia is the closest thing performance/ price wise in that group.

Issue with the M4 GTS is at that price, tons of other options and cars that preform better.

Eitherway to have 2 cars in the Best Car of the Year running is great for BMW.

It was the top pick of 2 Testers

Two of the Testers had the M4 GTS as their top pick. There were very positive statements.

No surprise the 911 R was going to be the winner but surprised two testers picked the M4 GTS over the Porsche. The GTS is a divisive car indeed. I for one love it.

They're the only drivers that knew how to set up the car, the rest didn't have the wing tuned right.

Agree
I think the M4 GTS, has too many setup options and if you don't have it set it right the wing or the suspension its probably a hot mess.
