I wish they would make a real GT4 fighter but history has shown BMW is not interested in making a serious sports car.

We should also admit the Z3M and Z4M were slightly compromised by iffy suspension setups and tires (Z4M) from the factory. They just didn't try hard enough. You have to do better than reaching into the 3 series parts bin if you want to be the best car in the segment.

true story.
