Very jealous indeed. Frozen Polar silver would go nicely on the coupe too. E92 CRT should be in this color.

If you wanna waste money go for it!
Thats a ton of money for 0-62 times being only 4.4 secs. I read in an article a stock 2011 with DCT got 3.9 secs 0-60. So what gives for an extra $100k? You can get the carbon fiber hood, trunk, and fenders to give you that 100lb weight reduction for close to $3k. The red or orange with the silver (PUKE) I've seen way nicer BMW's than this one....I'm not impressed one bit

Even if you decide to go aftermarket, let's work out how much it can potentially cost to achieve something similar to the CRT from a base M3. Carbon hood painted - $3000 (your $3k for the body panels you listed will not provide the same quality and strength as OEM, and no aftermarket hood has been shown to be significantly lighter that the standard M3's aluminium one without compromising strength. CRT's is half the weight of the aluminium) Carbon race seats - $2500 Custom engine and internals - $20000 (Of course there's supercharging, but that is not what BMW are trying to achieve) KW Clubsport - $5000-6000 Custom rear seats - $? Brembo GT brakes - $7500 Akrapovic exhaust - $6000 Labour - $? Expensive isn't it? Note that the CRT's price is also inflated due to taxes in Europe. Last edited by mlhj83; 06-16-2012 at 06:28 PM. |

When I read "67 Units" I stopped reading and looking ... asking myself why tease us ???
Come now BMW ... what is the purpose of all this anyway ??? Ah yes I know to get us to purchase options if and when they become available ... ![]() How soon will the 67 units be sold out if not already.

"Summary
We've never been ones to complain about the standard BMW M3, but the CRT feels much more raw and exciting - and all the better for it. Despite the saloon-only body, this is without doubt the best and most appealing M3 the firm has made so far, the extra horsepower, noise and handling capabilities elevating it to a deserved special status. We only wish it had been made available to the UK..." http://www.carenthusiast.com/reviews...d+edition.html |

We could b!tch all day about how our respective countries didn't get this or the GTS, but I just wish they'd AT LEAST make the parts readily available for purchase. I realize this takes away from the exclusivity from the low produced special cars they are, but I doubt those rich folk give two testacles about regular cars having some parts.
Or, better yet, let me tick off a couple of the options when I spec my build. Namely - the brakes and seats.
