Bmw m3 gts

It's the reborn CSL - why they didn't use that name who knows.

It weighs 3285 lbs or 1490 kg - 419 lbs or 190 kg less than the stock M3 coupe. Unknown hp coming form an enlarged 4.4 L V8 and a 7 speed dual clutch transmission.

Priced at €115k.

Small pics coming from Autoblog, but that's all I've seen yet.

InB4 someone says CSL....oh too late.

It isn't really a CSL, it's more of a BMW GT3. The CSL was a road car you could race, this looks like a race car that might be allowed on the roads.

Anyway, it's an inspiring piece of work, I was hoping to see some comically pumped guards but oh well, still impressed.

I don't understand why does it have a price tag almost twice as big as that of the standard car. And it has the stupid gearbox.

But it'll most probably be superb to drive.

EDIT And it's far too ghastly to be driven on public roads. Especially in that shade of orange.

In a standard M3 you are an asshole true. This screams small penis and rice rocket at the same time unfortunately.

I don't mind the colour, the wing though has gotta go.

Black minus the wing would be awesome looking. They could have put a smaller lip spoiler but this looks too ricey

Great car but the price difference doesn't justify it over the standard M3. Plus why not the 6 speed? Its probably lighter than the 7-speed double-clutch box anyway.

It's a failed attempt of creating a wannabe GT3. Why the paddle-box and why no huge-ass wing like their GT2 car...

It could have had potential, but no.

EDIT:

If they are going to make a GT3 RS-esque track car they should go all out and not settle for this pretentious bullshit.

needs a lip spoiler or a giant purposeful GT wing instead of the current in-between compromise
