The biggest disapointment is the fact that the car is not available in Canada for normal road use and it only has the M-DCT

From the autoweek aritcle:

"Even at high speeds the M3 GTS remains wonderfully flat and neutral during cornering, and with the DSC (dynamic stability control) switched into M-mode, there's rarely any intervention."

So, we know it has MDM, but we still dont' know how it is activated (unless I missed it somewhere in the article). I suppose it would likely be via the same setup that is now rumored to be in place for all M3s as of 2011.5. I.e. you now get MDrive standard and can now configure it via the computer in the guage cluster (no need for IDrive). Actually, this would make the appearance of the system for 2011.5 on regular M3s more rational - they already had to develop it for the GTS, so why not make it available for the base car.

Sorry NOT impressed at all. Just way over priced.

Hey South,

That video would be a lot better if they put the camera on a mount. After watching it I think I'm sea sick.

Cheers.

Stock M3 is already such an amazing car. And this M3 GTS is a just beyond. Can't imagine what the M3 GTS-R will be like with its even more flared fenders and even more power!
