So you’ve driven the BMW M4 GT3 EVO — how does it stack up against the rest of the GT3 pack?
- Responsiveness: The sharper steering and updated damping make the EVO version more nimble in tight corners. Entry speed is a bit more forgiving, but it rewards smooth inputs.
- Corner-exit drive & power delivery: With the revised diff ramps and more locking options, the M4 GT3 EVO grips better under acceleration out of mid to slow corners. You’ll notice less wheelspin under power and better control when trailing traffic.
- Setup flexibility: One of the biggest advantages of the EVO update is the much wider tuning range for things like springs, ARBs (anti-roll bars), ride heights, and damping. That means more opportunity to tune for track preferences — bumps, camber, grip, etc.
- Old vs New: Old setups are gone — they won’t load under the EVO spec. That’s a pain point for some, but the flip side is that every setup starts clean, so the EVO feels fresh and optimized.
- Real-world feel: The improved sounds and visual updates add immersion. The low fuel warning adds that extra layer of tension in endurance or long races.
If you liked the M4 GT3 before, the EVO version elevates it. It’s not a completely different beast, but each of the upgrades adds up. In close GT3 racing, the enhanced responsiveness and tweakability make the EVO version punch a bit above what many expected.
