Merci pour ce début de CR it-girl, toutes mes félicitations

Intéressant de lire ton avis sur la M3 E90

N'hésites pas pour un shooting avec la GTS à Chris, on se fera un plaisir de prendre ces 2 voitures en photos

Thank you for this pre-review it-girl, all my congratulations

It's interesting to read your opinion on the E90 M3

Don't hesitate for a photoshot with Chris' M3 GTS, we'll take a great pleasure to take some photos of these 2 ///M special cars

Peux-tu me confirmer que la CRT a la même ligne Akrapovic que la GTS (pile à la limite du niveau sonore homologuable) et que l'insonorisation est la même que dans une E90/92 normale ?

Etant (avec mon père) propriétaire d'une GTS, j'ose espérer que l'hypothétique modèle de fin de vie sera moins bestial que la GTS ! Je pense que ce sera le cas, ils ne peuvent pas faire une M3 plus radicale que la GTS (moteur joliment poussé au max, innombrables éléments modifiés pour un usage piste,...) et surtout ils ne peuvent pas vendre une M3 encore plus chère. En Suisse ils ont déjà du mal à écouler les 15 voitures qui nous ont été dédiées, seule la moitié à été immatriculée à ce jour....

Je verrais plutôt une de ces multiples éditions avec deux ou trois bricoles sympa, du style une couleur exclusive, un peu de carbone ici ou là et éventuellement UN OU DEUX éléments de GTS/CRT pour un prix seulement légèrement majoré par rapport à une E92 "normale"

En tout cas, si tu n'as pas l'occasion de faire un shooting avec une GTS par chez toi, en ce qui me concerne c'est avec plaisir !

La GTS est rarissime, la CRT l'est encore plus... Les deux ensemble c'est sauf erreur du jamais vu à l'heure actuelle !

Comme tu l'auras compris j'habite en Suisse, mais des sorties notamment à Dijon et au Ring sont prévues à de multiples reprises

Merci encore pour ta réponse détaillée

Chris

A priori, même ligne d'échappement que la GTS (donc différente de la ligne M Performance que j'avais montée sur mon ancienne M3 E90).
Mon concessionnaire, qui a vendu 3 M3 GTS, me dit avoir l'impression que la CRT fait encore plus de bruit !
L'insonorisation semble identique mais pas le ressenti... !

Pour la supposée "M3 E92 CRT", je suis d'accord avec toi. BMW ne peut pas faire plus radicale que la GTS, et ne peut pas aussi "décevoir" leurs propriétaires actuels...
A mon avis, ces éléments vont être repris : capot avant en carbone de la CRT, siège baquet en carbone de la CRT, ligne d'échappement de la GTS/CRT, amortisseurs réglables de la GTS/CRT, freins de la GTS/CRT, couleur spécifique.
On verra bien... Mais je voulais une 4 portes donc je reste sur mon choix quoi qu'il arrive.

Je serai à Dijon le 17 mars et au Ring le 6 avril...
(et au plaisir pour une rencontre !)

Great car delivered by a great dealer.
Congrats for your purchase and regards to Jonathan

Aquariu///M · 02-25-2012, 05:18 AM

I would never pay that much for this car, I like my regular M3 just fine !!! Add $30k worth if mods and its over for CRT

Black Flagged · 02-25-2012, 10:53 AM

Bad Ass,who ever get one of these will be super lucky

Beautiful car!

Rekrul · 02-25-2012, 11:58 AM

I find it interesting, that they still run the 245/265 tire set up. Perhaps that really is the best tire setup for this car.

Swiss Chris · 03-07-2012, 03:27 PM

It seems you where at the Geneva Motor Show press day yesterday too....

I saw your CRT M3 when I was back to the parking.

If I knew you were there with your CRT, I would have came with the GTS to have a small shooting CRT+GTS !!

Next time...

Yes. Right at 15" - bigger than some wheels.

Really? I mean, yes, we all covet the options, but you think it actually looks good, too? I can't agree.
