I agree. BMW is only trying to make a statement here that they can make a car that can compete directly with GT3 with the M3 GT4.

However, if BMW was truly interested in selling this car to enthusiasts, they would bring it to North America. The whole emissions excuse is lame and so played out. If Porsche could bring GT3, GT3 RS, Ferrari can bring Scuderia, Audi can bring R8 V10, so can BMW bring the M3 V8 GT4 to North America.
