The E92 M3GTS is way way better looking than this!

Crazy price too!

the special M3 cars always seem massively overpriced to me. originaly CSL, the last GTS... insane. at it's core, it's a sedan-based coupe... and for that money, I would take a from the ground-up "real" sports car.. this water injection system will show up in maintstream bmw's next generation anyway.

No thanks. The Ring time is impressive, but the 0-60 and looks is not.

I'll also take a Black Series Mercedes. At least that is special and just doesn't have tacked on components that can be easily added to any standard M4.

Not a bad looking car I may say.

But,

Way too much money for a Sedan and the 0-60 numbers not impressive. I would rather have the Mercedes AMG GTS all day long.

Agree.

This thing is massively overpriced. With options,it will likely cost 160K and it won't beat a GT3 on the track, looks, reputation, or depreciation.

It is a bit pricey but with only 300 of them coming to the USA I'd bet their depreciation will be minimal since there are many BMW fanatics.

^ Very true for only a short time - It will be bought by their old school die hards that will store it in their garages but in a couple years they will have these engines in their current base model M3 and it will not be that special

I like it a lot. I would like the new M6 GT3 race car more. I know, I am only suppose to like Porsches since I am on the Rennlist forum.
