I think the fact that the front lip is "stowed" in these pictures make a big difference of the perceived image of the GTS.

Here's some shots I got at the ROLEX 24…the hood is amazing as are the tails. I like the seats too. I didn't get a good picture of the seat belts, but the M-Stripes are a nice touch. But...I like my F80 way better.

$134,200 MSRP on the sticker...

the orange part of the lip can be retracted for daily driving. So yes, its adjustable.

Didn't know that. Looks better in IMO and the only way to drive it on the street/driveways, probably.

That's awesome! Too bad you can only get those wheels in orange, I think they would look better even in silver not to mention gunmetal etc.

I don't think they look that bad. There's always the option to pay for the optional carbon wheels.

If I was in a position to get this car, carbon wheels option would be automatic.

Maybe some more data on the M2? At least the sticker? Thanks. Great to see these cars "in the wild".

What does the GTS hood vent mate to? Is there under hood plumbing to allow for rain dissipation?

It doesn't need anything just like a radiator doesn't either.

So it just drops rain on a hot engine? Even the E9x M3 hood vent (one of the two was a dummy) had plumbing to dissipate rain, instead of dumping it on a hot engine. The GTS has a far larger hood vent.

I was there during the Rolex and took some snaps and I even asked one of the reps to start the car and give it a few revs. I have a video I will upload shortly.
Now.....One thing that I do not get and please chime in...the GTS is a track focused limited production car right? I asked the un-schooled model boy who was showing off the M's, I asked why is there a cage in the car if BMW can't even provide proper bucket seats that allow you to use harnesses? His answer was: "I'm sure you can contact BMW and they can acquire a set of seats to be used with the cage/harnesses. In other words, "I don't know"
What is the purpose for this, honestly? The E92 GTS gave you the whole package that can be used!!! This one is complete shit and if I'm dropping $136k on a "track focused" car...I want proper equipment without spending another $4k on seats and accessories. Now you are into used Porsche GT3 category that gives you all that you need "Yes Please"
So that cage doesn't belong, it's actually dangerous to drive with a cage without proper safety. Dumb!:

When you are driving in the rain.. where does all the water hitting the radiator(s) go?
What about the rain that gets sucked in the air intakes?
A- You are not driving underwater. Even a heavy downpour isn't that much water.
