Garage List
Question Ordering a M3 GTS

Has anyone ordered one yet? Since Ive seen the first thread Ive wanted to get on the list for them. From what I understand they are only allocating 500 of them for the US market. Ive been to some dealers while looking at a new 7 and they all have told me that BMW has not told them anything yet. So my question is how many more spots are there left if any and what kind of options can I expect to see. I want to keep it pretty sporty, but at the same time I am a person who needs air conditioning mainly and a few other things. Will I be able to get them without being insanely overpriced?

The GTS is not coming to the US. It can only be purchased directly through BMW and for now only for German registration. There are anticipated to be maybe 50 of these per year. Where did you hear 500 for the US market?

^^^ Agree, I mean if I'm not mistaken the US only got like 750 Audi RS4's in it's first year, I don't see the US getting 500 GTS's, let alone 500 GTS even being built world wide. For the cost of a Pcar Turbo or GT3, I doubt many US Buyers would opt for the GTS over either of those Porsches.

+1.

I love the M3 in all forms; but at that price point, I would buy a P-car, hands-down.

Probably from a "trusted" salesmen, I mean they know best don't they?

OP, do yourself a favor and ignore everything you ever hear from a salesmen, there LACK of product knowledge never ceases to amaze me....
