When you hear about any M4 GTS engines the first thing that comes into your mind is the water cooling system. How cool is it that when the engine overheats, then spraying of fine mist takes place?

And then the engine produces 500 PS (increased from 425 PS) and 600 Nm of torque. The water injection is the world’s first system in GTS.
