BMW M4 GT3 & BMW M Hybrid V8

"A visually rewarding BMW double pack with genuine new-parts content and a killer price-per-piece, but 71 stickers and a $10 price hike over last year's equivalent push it firmly into Recommended rather than essential territory."

Expert reviewers broadly agree this BMW dual pack is a solid, visually impressive Speed Champions entry held back by an excessive sticker burden and a noticeable price increase over its predecessor. The BrickScore of 51.4 lands it in the Recommended tier, a fair reflection of a set that does many things well but not without frustration. Owner sentiment is stronger, averaging 4.65 across more than 3,300 ratings, suggesting buyers who accept Speed Champions conventions enjoy it more than critics who measure it against its full potential.

Where they split: Critics are divided between the Brickset reviewer (who rates it positively at 80) and The Brothers Brick (a slightly more measured 72), with RacingBrick similarly positive but vocal about the sticker issues. The main fault line is between buyers who accept Speed Champions' sticker-heavy conventions and those who hold the set to the higher bar set by the fully printed Porsche 963 windscreen in the prior wave.
