[CMW403]

that color wouldn't be my first choice but other than that i think the car would be at the top of my list if i had the money.

it even comes with a BMW suit:bigpimp:

[GQBalla]

I LIKE!

[scat19]

Wow! I really like it, I know the wing is functional, just looks big and ricey IMO.

[98type_r]

not at all practical with the cage, but that just makes it even more sexy.

[beyond_ban]

Put my name on the list for a white one :drool:

[Impreza]

I want.

[Redlyne_mr2]

Awesome car.. would go with the Porsche though if I had to choose. :)

[94boosted]

What a sexy bimmer and they managed to drop 420lbs from it that's impressive. But at $170,000US + Taxes :eek: I would rather take a Porsche GT3RS and save $25,000 lol

:werd: I love M3's, but the GT3RS is one sexy machine.

[arian_ma]

Is this faster than the GT3RS or something? How is that price tag justified?

[syeve]

Keep your fire extiguisher, for 20k more I would take a 550HP GT2 and dismantle that thing

[SScott]

Love the Colour Combo, would prefer a lip spoiler, but i suppose that it is for function.

Not liking that there are no back seats though

[irs]

pretty sweet ride!

I would take it if i had to.

North American prices aren't listed.

Only German prices which are 115,000 Euro which is cheaper than a normal Porsche GT3.

The reference is that the Regular M3 is 66,000 Euros.

[trikypenguin]

can't say im a huge fan looks wise, and i'd take the porsche over this anyday

[SpoonEK9@STRD]

ugly spoiler, and pretty cheap looking seats.. gt3 is wwwwayyy nicer.

[AudiPWR]

Yeah, pretty nice car,. Wouldn't pay a dime over 80k for it though.. How do they justify the price tag? I would definately be going for the GT3 over that, along with many other choices..

You do realize the stock M3 is about 80k right?:rolleyes:

[m10-power]

GT3 properly equipped (locally) is $150k

This is an interesting car for sure, wait to see what the price in Canada will be, I'd bet in the $120's. Which is way too much for what it is though, IMO.

You can replicate this car almost completely right now in the aftermarket, but it would cost you more than 120k

[eglove]

i wouldn't push that outta bed :poosie:

[psycoticclown]

Damn nice looking car... but for the price?! 170k?! Fuck that noise. I'll still take a GT3RS over it. Or a ZR1... or a GTR V-Spec

Again its not 170k, it probably won't even be released in NA but it is expect pricing to be below GT3 pricing so sub 140k

Read the thread... No NA pricing has been released yet. I would still take a ZR-1 over it tho :drool:

[Fcuk]

It's nice but nothing beyond amazing. Even if the old m3 retails at 80k.. this doesn't look any different. I don't mean to be a hater I just wish BMW would've pulled a rabit out of the hat and surprised us with something..... retarded sick :thumbsup:

[SCHIDER23]

:werd:

Nice looking BMW, but is just looks like any other M3 with a rice up spoiler :dunno:, and yes I know is not the same under the hood, I still take the GT3 over this one.:thumbsup:

[jdmXSI]

iirc the interior is full alcantera fabric, for that kinda performance i sure wouldn't want to be sliding around on leather seats;)

Official Press Release:

Special interior for supreme performance and safety.

The interior of the BMW M3 GTS clearly reflects the focus on supreme performance and safety on the race track. The interior features include classic bucket seats, interior trim in carbon and an M steering wheel finished in alcantara. The door and side panels at the rear also come in alcantara, while six-point seat belts delivered with the car for subsequent use, a fire extinguisher and preparation for an emergency-off switch in motorsport round off the wide range of special features inside the car.
