The GTS-wheels must have a more aggressive spec than on the ZCP-wheels we have over here? Just look at that rear camber?!?!?

^ @power944: Welcome here. Thank you for posting the pictures. What are your impressions after driving the GTS around the 'ring? By chance do you also have experience with the "regular M3" to compare? If you have any close-up photos of the adjustable front splitter or interior, please post!

As previously stated, it's the same wheel, but the wider tires, kw suspension, and the colour do help to play tricks on the eye...

Unfortunately it's not his M3. He was on the Ring when he saw this GTS. (I know him in the real life).

So whose M3 GTS is it? Not Great White's, not power944's? Would be nice if the owner could come here on Bimmerpost.

Me like it.

It´s as I wrote on page 1 (why does everyone always only read the last page ?)
the first GTS delivered to a private customer. It belongs to my friend who if time permits will take me on a quick round soon time will tell

And no the owner is not here and won´t be coming either, he´s not too much of a forum friend which is a pity, so I asked him if he would mind if I posted his car & he said ok.
I cound have done it (like 944 did with plates & all) but I do try & respect the privacy in some form.

How's my English now? [Mods what happened to that "FU" smilie?]

Your first post was clear as mud...and power944's was short on details.

It appeared as if your recently revealed "friend" (Marcus?) could have been power944 chiming in...How was anyone to know? (Oh yeah, your first post, right? ) Apparently I wasn't the only one who thought this to be plausible. No reason to jump all over people for welcoming in a new member.

Good night!

A decent garage would take your $67k M3 (base with DCT and Individual paint), add some $30-40k for the stroker, another $5k for aero bits, $5k for wheels, $5k for suspension, $3k for rollcage/interior removal etc. and turn it into a car that is completely unsaleable.

And you'd still wonder if it handles as well as the GTS.
£30 -£40K for the stroker.....really???? i think i would just take the G Power supercharger for 20000 euros and enjoy the 600+ bhp. I know the car is not for sale in the US i just converted the Euro price as most members posting here are from the US. Agree about the unsaleable comment but my point was simply that the car is overpriced for the extra performance it offers IMO however you are buying a very rare and exclusive car which makes the car a very attractive proposition to the people who have bought it and probably worth the cash for the rarity value alone.
If this car was available in the same numbers as a regular M3 then i doubt there would be many takers at this price - the exclusivity is what is commanding this high price, not just the bump in performance and handling - this is one of the rarest cars in the world and that comes at a price.

The rear camber has nothing to do with the rear wheels.

I like the color but I think the wing is only good for the track, it's a bit much for the overall look and I wouldn't want it aftermarket. Would look too honda imo. But congrats to the owner.

If this car was available in the same numbers as a regular M3, they would lower the price to 80.000-85.000 €, and it would sell, as it would be the cheapest street legal track car, but with good performance, 7:40 min on the N-Ring, and this is 911 GT3 performance. Of course BMW M would have to bring the car to the US.
