Different colour, and lose the wing and it'd be awesome. Now it's just near-awesome. Must be incredible to drive.

Porsche GT3 RS = 122 400 euros in Germany + taxes.
Ferrari F430 is out of production, but new Ferrari 458 Italia costs 197 000 euros in Germany + taxes.

BMW M3 GTS = 115 000 euros in Germany + taxes.

Not quite, GT3 RS, R8 V10, Gallardo and F458 are all more expensive than the M3 GTS.

Any manufacturer making trackday models get kudos from me. In a few years time one of these might actually be affordable.

Now do the same to the 135i please images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Cool! I wonder whether It will be a hardcore limited version like the GTR

http://www.km77.com/marcas/bmw/serie3_02/gtr/gra/1.jpg

Or more like a CSL. Extreme but usable (in dry).

Sure it has more power and less weight, which is me likey.

But it also has orange paint, a pointless roll cage and an afterthought spoiler.

Lose the spoiler and we're on, plus is it really that hard to undo a few bolts to remove it (the spoiler)?

Orange paint is just paint, I'm sure they'll have plenty of other colours.

I quite like the GTR, but I rather would have it in that new BMW Brown instead of that orange with some crome-silver stripes. (stipes in about that shape: http://bringatrailer.com/wp-content/...er_Front_1.jpg )

It looks like alot fun, I want one! images/smilies/smile.gif

This is what BMWs should be like! They still can make awesome cars if they are allowed to do so.

Gotta love those clubsport-racecars like the BMW M3 GTS or the 911 GT3 RS!

Do want badly.

Well then how hard can it be to buy a boot lid. I presume BMW probably has some kind of coach building (well not exactly) program going on like Aston's Works Service or Ferrari's coach building.

This, probably the ultimate street-legal E92, does nothing for me. A BMW hasn't done anything for me since the E46.

Riced? What the hell are you talking about, it's a road going racing car. What do you think the roll-cage and fire extinguisher are for, looks? They're there for the same reason as the splitter and spoiler.

OH NOES IT'S A PERFORMANCE CAR, RIIICE!!

Sweet, must be amazing to drive, I must say I prefer the inconspicuous looks of the regular M3.

Yep, and the M3 is gonna cost under 120k in the states.

Why is it so hard for people to figure out companies' worldwide price schemes? Do I have to point this out in every single thread about a European car manufacturer?
