Quoted weight is 20KG more, not 300. Also, stated power is 15hp more than the GT3. I'll wait for some reviews before jumping the gun.

Like I said, great effort but isnt enough to rube a top dog like the GT3 and Scuderia are.

Good to know we already have someone who has driven the m3 GTS the day it was released.

I mean you must have driven it to know if its better or worse right?????

I know eh? I am so jealous - i need to get better connected.

duk · 11-04-2009, 02:10 PM

Oh the GT3 defense force is already here. Seriously, the GT3 is amazing but the GTS can be amazing too. Why don't we wait til full specs are revealed and reviews are done before claiming anything?

I think I read that it's a 4.4L.

Definitely something similar. Someone needs to come out with a 4.4L kit.

You've driven this one and both Porsches already?

That huge spoiler and colour:NO.

115k in D means 140k in NL(EUROS that is....), which means about the same price as a 997GT3.

I choose the GT3.

But atm I want those brakes on my M please...

1º · 11-04-2009, 02:14 PM

not impressed...

vladberca · 11-04-2009, 02:17 PM

we have to wait for the specs and after that we'll see the differences between this car and the gt3/rs models....

FStop7 · 11-04-2009, 02:23 PM

I'll take the front splitter. Pass on the rest.

yes there is a "competition" package coming for the M3

Bluesummer · 11-04-2009, 02:31 PM

nothing too surprising. Let's put a wing on PencilGeek's car and bam! here we go, M3 GTS

bmwturkiye.net · 11-04-2009, 02:34 PM

only 30 bhp more?

ianbiz · 11-04-2009, 02:36 PM

I want those brakes

mtechnik3 · 11-04-2009, 02:36 PM

Now it makes sense why the test car was sporting a KW decal.

This is THE model to own. Great job everyone at BMW.

This m3 is 1490 kgs, or 1490 X 2.2 = 3278. That is 318 LBS more than a GT3 RS without the additional weight saving options of a GT3.

The GTR weighs 800lbs more and beats the GT3 and so does the new 997.2 Turbo weighs about 100lbs more then this car so its not all about weight.

Have you driven the M3 GTS already?? NO

so don't make such a claim. This looks like an excellent effort from BMW, and I think it has the potential to be as fast or faster than a GTR/GT3/GT3RS but only time will tell. And I'm glad to see this and the M5 CSL, it lets me see that BMW is still staying true to the ///M division.

ianbiz · 11-04-2009, 02:42 PM

CSLs in black.. i think we have those, and those arent exactly light.

Santa34 · 11-04-2009, 02:45 PM

its a win...a huge step in the right direction for BMW
