M3GTS UK pricing (I think)

footie · 12-04-2009, 05:42 AM

I'm sure I heard somewhere that the UK pricing for the GTS would be £102K, that places it dearer than either the GT3 or GT3RS.

I seriously hope this is wrong because at that price it won't sell.

Since the fanboys on here think it's better than a GT3 RS I'm sure they'd be fine with that price

If that is the case,I have to agree with you.The GT3's are starting to look like a good deal.

Yeah, I read that somewhere myself...that can't be a good sign. That's gotta be around 145-150k US...pretty steep.

As BMW are a manufacturer in the US you can't go by either UK or Euro prices as an indicator of what they will charge in the US if at came there. My best estimate would be that if it did go stateside you won't be paying anything more than $115~120K tops.

Though frankly at this money I don't think you are getting value for money and at UK prices it's plain mental, because the last special M3 that was sold here was the CSL at it's then loopy price of £60K and they couldn't give them away at that price and that was without the present climate. Heaven knows how they will sell them now.
