Arrow M4 GTS Transporter...

Ever wonder how BMW manages to ship the M4 GTS with that low front cf splitter to its dealers? Well wonder no more! BMW mounts the splitter to the trunk spoiler/wing!!!

Some serious downforce on the transporter! The splitter is like a snowboard!

A shame they're transported open like that. Is the splitter mounted on a secured bracket, looks like it's just shoved in a foam holder type dealy.
My M3 came in an enclosed truck, maybe I got lucky or perhaps it's the dealer's choice on how much they want to spend on transport.

Suprisingly no side curtains on the truck to protect against debris. Interesting.

The Autobahn is so clean, there is no need for enclosed trucking.

This may be an internal German thing, as mine arrived at our dealership in a closed delivery vehicle - very much had special treatment to dealership

Hard to say what distance they are traveling but my guess is a very short distance.

Thinking the exact thing. These are limited production M cars after all. They should have at least cover them or something...

Interesting that they secure the vehicle with over the wheel straps. I thought they used J hooks.

Yep. Plus all trucks have a 80 kph speed limit on the Autobahn. So there aren't driving that fast.
