That is $20,000 below the original MSRP of this year-old car which has been raced for roughly 6,537 miles. If you want to go GT4 racing, or if you just want a great BMW track toy, this listing from a private seller who goes by Itall might be your new dream machine.

BMW M4 GT4 Listing

Many of the listings on RacingJunk.com are great, offering tons of information on the vehicle sod, but this 2018 BMW M4 GT4 is not one of those. There are only three pictures, all of which show the car on the track. The only information is the fact that it has 10,521 kilometers on the odometer, along with the short description below.

Very clean 2018 GT4 car. 10000 Km since new. Very strong maintenance schedule. Needs nothing to run. No damage ever other than front bumper cover area, all cosmetic.

For those who aren’t sure, 10,521 kilometers translates to 6,537 miles. That mention of cosmetic front end damage is a bit concerning without any additional details. The strangest part of this ad is the fact that there is really no information provided on the vehicle, but we suppose that anyone who is serious about spending six figures on a car that can’t be driven on the street, they likely know what they need to know about the vehicle.

For those who don’t know the details on this car, here are the basics.

Racing Specifications

The race-ready specifics of the 2018 BMW M4 GT4 started on the outside with a carbon fiber hood, carbon fiber doors and some serious aero bits on the front and rear. This includes a bit wing out back and a prominent splitter up front, which is paired with dual dive planes. On the inside, this M4 is stripped down to just what is needed, including a lightweight driver’s seat, a racing steering wheel with lots of control buttons, a unique center stack with racing-specific controls, the pedal box from an M3 GT3 race car and a safety cage system.

The engine of the road-going BMW M4 is relatively unchanged, with a unique exhaust system lifting the output to 431 horsepower, 6 more than the road car. However, every other aspect of the mechanical parts have been upgraded, starting with the uniquely-tuned 7-speed dual clutch transmission.

Behind the package-specific wheels, six piston front calipers clamp down over 15.4-inch rotors while four piston rear calipers control 140-inch rotors. The suspension has been upgraded with Ohlins shocks, adjustable anti-roll bars and adjustable springs at all four corners. The chassis features a built-in air lift system for easier pit stops while a 33-gallon fuel cell leads to less pit stops for gasoline.

The BMW M4 GT4 had an MSRP of $189,000, so at $169,000, you are saving $20,000 in exchange for a 6,537 miles of previous use. If you want to go racing in the GT4 class in the coming season, this BMW might be your best chance to buy a turnkey race car.

"Before I was old enough to walk, my dad was taking me to various types of racing events, from local drag racing to the Daytona 500," says Patrick Rall, a lifetime automotive expert, diehard Dodge fan, and respected auto journalist for over 10 years. "He owned a repair shop and had a variety of performance cars when I was young, but by the time I was 16, he was ready to build me my first drag car – a 1983 Dodge Mirada that ran low 12s. I spent 10 years traveling around the country, racing with my dad by my side. While we live in different areas of the country, my dad still drag races at 80 years old in the car that he built when I was 16 while I race other vehicles, including my 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and my 1972 Dodge Demon 340.

"Although I went to college for accounting, my time in my dad’s shop growing up allowed me the knowledge to spend time working as a mechanic before getting my accounting degree, at which point I worked in the office of a dealership group. While I was working in the accounting world, I continued racing and taking pictures of cars at the track. Over time, I began showing off those pictures online and that led to my writing.

"Ten years ago, I left the accounting world to become a full-time automotive writer and I am living proof that if you love what you do, you will never “work” a day in your life," adds Rall, who has clocked in time as an auto mechanic, longtime drag racer and now automotive journalist who contributes to nearly a dozen popular auto websites dedicated to fellow enthusiasts.

"I love covering the automotive industry and everything involved with the job. I was fortunate to turn my love of the automotive world into a hobby that led to an exciting career, with my past of working as a mechanic and as an accountant in the automotive world provides me with a unique perspective of the industry.

"My experience drag racing for more than 20 years coupled with a newfound interest in road racing over the past decade allows me to push performance cars to their limit, while my role as a horse stable manager gives me vast experience towing and hauling with all of the newest trucks on the market today.

"Being based on Detroit," says Rall, "I never miss the North American International Auto Show, the Woodward Dream Cruise and Roadkill Nights, along with spending plenty of time raising hell on Detroit's Woodward Avenue with the best muscle car crowd in the world.
