bigbloodyturbo Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Looks like BMW have decided to build a new CSL replacement. I like it but am I the only one that thinks the press pictures make it look a bit OTT/halfords special. http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2009/11/2011-bmw-m3-gts-new-hardcore-version.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I got told about this earlier today. I like it minus the spoiler and the Dale Winton shade of Orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbloodyturbo Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 The spoiler is the worst bit but I just don't like he entire bodykit (and colour). Looks like something that was done by an aftermarket styling company and not something done in-house by bmw/Mdivision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Over £100k for an M3. Riiiiiiight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Over £100k for an M3. Riiiiiiight. Or even on a Supra? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Or even on a Supra? Well that's a different matter because this will be a factory car, but still, good point. Why anyone would buy this when a 911 GT3 is within reach is completely beyond me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be quite a match, because BMW M don't make crap, and neither to Porsche, period! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be quite a match, because BMW M don't make crap, and neither to Porsche, period! Is a 3-series BMW going to be able to cut it against a 911 GT3? Not sure. How about the Nissan GTR spec-V? Doubt it very much, and I'm no fan of the R35. If there's a race series for the M3 GTS then there might be a market, but seeing as the V8 engine will only last a couple more years, I have to question the credibility of this particular car.

dangerous brain Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Thats a wind up. There is no way BMW would release a car in that extravagant a colour. Look at their best selling range, they practically invented the drab silver metallic colour. Other than that nasty yellow they do in M-spec BMW do not do garish. I call spoof on this.

Bobbeh Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Hmm Ford Focus Orange Apart from that, and the spoiler it looks nice, but like the standard car with rollcage. I think it'd look better in black/gunmetal with the spoiler on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think on a track the GTS would probably compare quite well to a stock R35, look at how much weight they managed to lose of the the BM, its dropped under 1500kg and I'm sure old fashioned light weigh, balance and chassis design would be a match for the gtr's 4wd and mucho weight. It might be ugly as sin (imho) but judging from their past efforts and what they're charging, I'd say BMW will make sure it goes round a track very well, even compared to GT3's and GTR's.
