Only recently came across Jason and his videos on Hagerty, I really like his sense of humour and narration style. I'm so pleased to see he has his own channel and uploading his older content from a defunct channel, I wouldn't have seen them otherwise and each one has been great so far.
@@vintagetractorsaustralia Some yeah, I'm more the scripted content like these, Revelations and Icons though. Hagerty recently picked up another of my favorite presenters too, Henry Catchpole after the unfortunate demise of Carfection.
Been following Jason for over a decade, his reviews are always amazing and dude's a talented genius, the american JC - Jeremy Clarkson with the engineering brains of Richard Hammond. I still can't believe that he doesn't have his own show.
Wild, I was literally thinking how MotorTrend went from THE car TH-cam channel to being practically irrelevant, and now all the formally paywall episodes are being uploaded for free. Love to see it
This video must be from the old days of motortrend in 2016 or so when all the og episodes used to be free with another guy called Joe. Together with Clarkson era of Top Gear, peak car journalism right there
These days, their styling is more hit or miss (unless you're buying an SUV, but in that case I have less than no sympathy for you), but they do nail a bunch of other stuff now.
@@mohammedfuadh9096 New 2 series is awful - those "inlet" headlights, fucking random triangles and "folding lines" on fender flares. It's such a regress compared to previous generation, especially as M2.
That rear spoiler is goofy as hell my dude. And the orange is about as opposite as you want on the M colors. I personally hate that it looks like an 18 year old threw some aftermarket stuff on it and BMW decided up upcharge the customer by like $40k to have it..
I was still old enough to remember coming back from middle school to see cammisa and lieberman fuck around oh man these two made me the car guy I am today
omg this video is finally back on youtube. motortrend private'd this video and I could not watch the hilarious criticism on this car for the longest time. thanks for the upload.
Jason always delivers to bring insightful information about the vehicles he reviews. Sometimes it sounds 'techy' but explaining complicated things always sound better with a comedic undertone kudos!!!!!
Thanks for uploading this, I really love this video and have been searching it for a while. I don’t know why they removed it from the motor trend channel
I still remember all the angry people flaming Jason for wringing the water from his suit into the tank and munching the splitter, ah man his reviews are the best.
I don't know why so many people dismissed this car entirely when it came out. It's better and faster than the standard M4, it's hardcore on the track and unlike what other manufacturers do with special editions, BMW actually put some effort into making this drastically different than the regular car. And it looks STUNNING!
The beef isn't with the GTS, but with the M4 in general. It's like BMW stopped making sportscars and started making muscle cars. Camissa even compared it to a Camaro
As an (ex) die hard Mercedes-Benz fan, owner or 3 of those(in the past), I have to admit that BMW have captured my imagination! It looks manly, is performs manly, it is manly! ... Next car for sure.
Great video as usual, Jason! You never fail to entertain and educate. What’s the car you’ve driven that has the best steering feedback? I recently went from an STi to a Giulia Quadrifoglio. The Giulia, while insanely fast, doesn’t provide quite the same feedback as the STi. I understand one is hydraulic steering rack while the other isn’t but surely the difference can’t be that big? In fairness, the Giulia (used) came with Michelin AS3+ all season tires instead of OEM Pirellis. I wonder if that’s the issue. Anyways, thanks for the upload!
Italians tend to make up for the lack of steering feedback with an insanely quick rack coupled with a great chassis. If you want to feel everything, try a 997 or 987.
@@stevemiller1626 Thanks for your reply! Good to know. I don't have a lot of references in regards to vehicle feedback and dynamics as I've only owned these two cars. I thought the Giulia would be an upgrade in every possible way but that's not the case. It's just better in different ways (oh the looks and the engine!). I should definitely try more cars😄I hear so much good stuff about Porsches.
I still remember when these first came out. They retailed for $135k and people were listing them ~$60k over sticker. NOBODY bought them, because they weren't worth even the retail; and now they can be had for ~$65k used (or up to $90k with only 1,000 miles).
@@sleepeatdrive7619 Definitely over MSRP and may be closer to the M3 gts prices. The M3 gts did not come to the US and was made in lower numbers but is now selling over $200,000. Going up every year… I see the M4 Gts between $130,000 and 170,000 in 10 years for average mileage. Higher for really low miles. Impossible to know for sure…
the track comparison is great, amazing to see the GTS braking better and accelerate faster. Grade A content. What is the the Cammisa ideal blend of M4 and the M4 GTS?
Hey Jason! About the Waterinjectionb ehm, Saab 99 Turbo were given that, too....if you asked kindly in Swedish for it......& put Swiss francs on the counter.....
It 100% did. I still am sick to my stomach over this, all these years later. The sprinklers went off mid-afternoon while we were inside eating lunch, the sun came out, and when we came out, the paint was permanently etched with water spots. The car was never used again for press purposes. Awful.
I don’t quite get this car. I mean if you got a regular M4, put Cup2Rs on, KW suspension and unlock the engines and gearboxes performance through software no way it would be slower, or at least no way it would not be a lot slower and you’d be able to pass on the dorky OEM look of this car with the front splitter and the orange in the wheels and the little wing (I’m not sure if I like the wing yet).
I bought my SS 1le because of the MT/Randy - loved it. Still one of the best steering feel to me and fun, not to mention performance on the track. It's uglier now but still a crazy value.
I'm legit surprised you're allowed to re-post these without MT being candy asses about it, seeing as how all of their video content is now behind a paywall.
5:06 bigger sidewalls most definitely do not transmit steering feel! It adds steering delay 'slosh' due to sidewall flex and you feel less of what is happening.
It seems Porsche listens to what their customers want, with an ear open to what car enthusiasts like. You'll have to pay a heavy price, but they have one for you. BMW listens to what it's customers want, without enough pride to pull off a legend. What enthusiasts want. A Legend = This car, with a manual, back seats, not quite as low & (as this show has mentioned) focus on feel, not the stop watch. This is purely a 1:1 scale model car. Something to collect, not to " DRIVE".
I hated this biased review when it came out. To get real world performance figures, go to Nurnberg ring instead of some crappy lacuna seca. "At 7:28 minutes, the new BMW M4 GTS is quicker than the Porsche Carrera GT, Mercedes SLS AMG GT, Porsche 911 GT2 and on par with Ferrari 458 Italia and McLaren MP4-12C. Ahead of the M4 GTS is the almighty Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 with 7:27 minutes."
Something about them doing everything possible to make the car annoying for the sake of *hardcore enthusiast* and it not being a manual I just couldn't get past...
That is a a lot of video time for 300 cars to be sold in a country populated by 300 million people. 300 divided by 300 million is "one in a million" and water injection and software update does not make an automobile special. .
What set up did you used for the coilovers ? Given that this is a track car you have to know the right set up for that track specificly , so I doubt you've extracted the most from this package. I saw some M3 GTS on Nurburgring and there was no faster Camaro Z... or Mustang gt.... This car is 911 GT3 RS teritory in terms of laptimes BUT ONLY if you know what do you do with the settings.
Jason, please please please please please please please please please please please please please please, pretty please, pretty please with sugar on top, pretty please with sugar and cherry on top, could you re-upload video from MT, exact title was: 2017 Aston Martin V12 Vantage S: A Dogleg Makes This Sports Car Even Better! - Ignition Ep. 155.

no duh the traction light was on; M-mode is race mode, aka track mode, aka not drifting mode - if youre drifting while on the track then youre losing time and not driving well. are car journalists even car journalists anymore, cmon jason
First of all, if you understand how TV is made, you'll know the insert shots of the gauges are not shot at the same time as the in-car or drift shots (otherwise you'd see a big camera in my face.) The laptime shots with Randy driving are, of course, different. Those use a Go-Pro mounted to his helmet and he almost always drives with all ESP systems off. There's no drifting during those laptimes. The sideways stuff is visual candy.
Nope. BMW made rear cameras optional to boost profits, and it's only available as part of a premium package. Until they were made mandatory after a few hundred kids were backed over. But anyway, how many race cars have rear view cameras? Oh wait, even NASCAR has them this year.

Out the hot tub, into the tank! Stop playing cammisa!
The next generations will drool over these cars and spend countless hours rewatching these videos… including this one
This was one of my favorites from you!!!!! Glad you reuploaded it
Been looking for this video after it got taken down from some other channel. So dope
Personally, I think the M4 GTS is one of the best looking BMWs
It sure is! But the performance is not great.
@@voodoodiecast would love to know what tires they were running. Treads looked pretty deep on those. Street tires on a track car is a sin

One of the best looking modern beamers out there personally. Love this thing. Too bad they're rare and never gonna be driven
Been waiting for this!!!!
Okay, JC is hilarious. Hot tub in a race suit, dripping all over the car. Sarcasm and facial expressions!

Keep it up
Man, looking at that car reminds me how far BMW has fallen in the looks department today
I loved this video and was so sad, when it got offline.
“Vintage” makes me feel old 🥲
These recent uploads feel like a farewell song to ICE performance cars. I hope EV makers remember the recipe sooner rather than later.
Looking for your Ignition episode with the Bentley Continental GT3 R
Loved all the water in the edit but it looks like it ruined the paint 😭

Love this car. Still overpriced. And thanks for all these throwbacks, Jason!
Still? 90k over priced?
Nah I’m getting one soon they around 60K
