Polyphony Digital
BMW of North America and Polyphony Digital, Inc. announced today at the 2014 SEMA Show that the new BMW M4 M Performance Safety Car will be made available to owners of the Gran Turismo®6 for the PlayStation®3 system as a free update in late November. The BMW M4 M Performance Safety Car made its North American industry premiere today at the show as a demonstration vehicle for BMW M Performance Parts in North America.

Working in partnership, Polyphony Digital, Inc. and BMW have managed to make the rare BMW M4 Safety Car into a playable reality for all. At this year’s SEMA Show, industry show-goers will view the actual BMW M4 M Performance Safety Car, and be among the first to drive it on the Gran Turismo 6 simulators.

The BMW M4 M Performance Safety Car was produced by BMW of North America as an exciting showcase for the latest accessories in the popular M Performance Parts catalog, which are often used by BMW owners to fully personalize The Ultimate Driving Machine®. The Safety Car began as a series-production, 2015 BMW M4 Coupe, and features a custom body wrap by 3M in BMW Motorsport theme colors. Next, BMW added a full complement of BMW M Performance parts available for the M4: carbon fiber splitter system, side splitters, carbon fiber mirror caps, carbon fiber rear spoiler, carbon fiber rear diffuser, black BMW kidney grilles, black side gills, and titanium exhaust system with carbon fiber exhaust tips. The M4 Safety Car theme is finished by a set of LED grille-mounted flashers and and LED rooftop light bar.

Just being honest here, but is anyone else seeing the 'Graphite FT1' debacle coming into play with this ? Same car, slight tweak, etc-etc.

I don't recall fans asking for this, but now it's coming 'soon' ;), yet we have a forum (literally) of unanswered questions...

Edit* Well I'll be able to 'legit' lower the M4, that'll be nice. Still doesn't excuse their overall silence though.
 
I don't see what so exciting about this, putting in a car we already have, again, we technically have two of them if you want to include the Frozen Black Metallic, so now a third with safety car livery. We want NEW cars to GT, like FH2 just did, added the M4 to their game and it's all NEW to their game. I could of think of a hundred other cars at SEMA that they could of added other than this. I'll board the train when we finally get something "NEW".

Unless they plan on implementing a new "purpose" for this safety car, then that will be interesting.

To be fair, the R34 is used quite a bit online, so I'd say it's a decent move by PD to bring an up to date option.
