Yeah....I really really dont dig this, unless we can retrofit. I'm sure it will be expensive!

Also why have the standard M3/4 match the HP of the GTS?

When you are right, you're right. I am surprised the M4 is classed as concept though.

Maybe the GTS will have 500hp and standard M3/4 450-460hp with same water injection technology. Anyways, if this is true, it may be a reason to hold out for MY17.

No just the GTS only to highlight its exclusivity and price point.

Is this quote wrong then?
"Both the current M3 and M4 are due to receive the water injection technology as part of a planned facelift next year."

Yes because they are not going to say here is a limited edition M4 so give us over a hundred thousand euro but the standard car will receive it also so your car is not unique.

M4 GTS and updated CSL Hommage. Man, really wish it was the M2, but looks like we're out of luck again.
