Water helps the turbo six.
The road-going M4 GTS uses water injection alongside its S55 engine. Adjustable aero and a lightweight cabin give this F82 a different purpose from the regular M4.
Learning about an unusual performance technology.
Specialist systems and track-use history deserve inspection.
The GTS uses water injection; that does not make it a water-powered car.
S55 · Inline-six
The road-going M4 GTS develops 500 PS and 600 Nm from its S55 six-cylinder. Adjustable aero components and a lightweight cabin distinguish it from the regular F82.
S55 in an M4. Family reference; M2 Competition, CS and GTS versions have different equipment and ratings.
S55 · Petrol
The road-going M4 GTS develops 500 PS and 600 Nm from its S55 six-cylinder. Adjustable aero components and a lightweight cabin distinguish it from the regular F82.
Two exhaust-driven turbochargers
Two turbochargers supply compressed air to the engine. The GTS adds water injection into the intake system to reduce air temperature further under high load; this supports the increased factory output.
Rear-wheel drive
A seven-speed M dual-clutch transmission drives the rear wheels. This is the production GTS road car, rather than a GT3 or DTM racing vehicle.
