Sweet buy! I was watching that car as well at some point last year. The only flaw to me are the rear tires. These are not OEM size and look a bit stretched. Probably because of a lowered suspension ?
Nonetheless congrats on the purchase and enjoy in good health.
Don't you dare go to the track and discover what a GT3 really is. Better stay on the safe side where BMWs play. 😈
Had I not previously owned and tracked multiple GT3s and GT2s and more importantly enjoyed a full season in GP3 as a reserve driver, I might take slight offense to the implication that I am somehow fearful of the circuit 😭 My inclination not to track it stems from the pristine nature of the car. When I race, I hunt the kerbs with scant consideration to the aesthetics of the car. This beauty is for peering pleasure only!

Good observation. They are in fact a bit stretched; 305s. I'm not sure what the OEM spec is, nor have I put it on a lift to determine whether or not it has been lowered. All in good time. I was too busy detailing and wrecking the Skyline run this weekend!
I think that car looks badass. I wouldn't touch it.
Add a bypass if you want. Loud enough.
Coilovers? You already have them. Only bmws need coilovers to make them actually handle
I used to be a BMW guy. 10 m3's in all across all the vintages and I sold my last one after I bought my 997.1 gt3.
Enjoy.
As a longtime lurker and rare poster, I am not surprised by the healthy rivalry (sibling) between Porsche and BMW. As for the exhaust, it already had a Sharwerks race pipe and hence I am fine with the sound. As for the coilovers, on all previous GT3s I upgraded to Clubsports and was quite satisfied. Indeed, the OEM dampeners are adequate, but adequate never quite did it for me.

OEM on a .1 GT3 is 305. They always looked stretched.
