M3/M4 M3 GTS on Fifth Gear


The BMW M3 is a high-performance version of the BMW 3 Series, developed by BMW's in-house motorsport division, BMW M GmbH. M3 models have been produced for every generation of 3 Series since the E30 M3 was introduced in 1986. The BMW M4 is a high-performance version of the BMW 4 Series automobile developed by BMW's motorsport division, BMW M, that has been built since 2014. As part of the renumbering that splits the coupé and convertible variants of the 3 Series into the 4 Series, the M4 replaced those variants of the BMW M3. Official website: BMW M
She said she would have a tough time time choosing between the GTS,and GT3RS :confused: I guess I don't carry a similar sentiment.
 
Have you driven both?

The GTS isn't sold here so I'll never have an opportunity to drive it. I went to a dealer in my area thats sells Porsche's,to test drive a CaymanR last weekend,after words the sale man graciously let me drive GT3RS which was priced near $170,000:(,any ways it was by far the fastest car I had ever driven it was actually pretty intimidating,but the handling was phenomenal,and the soundtrack it provided was perfect.

But even with out having a brief experience behind the wheel of the Porsche,I would still choose it over the GTS for I haven't seen any evidence supporting the beemer doing any thing better than the GT3RS.
 
As long as the GT3 RS has a human being doing the job of cog-swapping, the M3 GTS will always change gear quicker and better than the Porsche.
 
I would pick GT3 myself (because of the design) but the M3 GTS is just as capable and fun as GT3 in the hands of average drivers like you and me.
 
^Well both cars are really nice. Are you referring to the standard GT3? If so I think even then the GTS would have it's hands full in trying to keep up,and yes I agree with an average driver like myself it should be close he he. I felt that GT3RS was a little to hardcore for my driving skill,but even now I would love to spend more time in it's cockpit.
 
It's a nice car but way overpriced!!!

Should this be worth the extra money?

It s easy to make youre M3 E92 like this. Most parts are easy find aftermarket. With a complete akropovich exhaust you have about 23hp over standard also. The GTS is the perfect car to put away in a car museum but to drive max attack on track you can better build youre own out of an E92 M3 and drive the s..t out of it.
 
Well, the GT3 RS should win but I guess it's nice to see that BMW can come this close by using a car like the M3 as a base. Gives good hope for those turning their E92 M3:s into trackday specials. It's a pitty the people in the UK drives on the wrong side of the road, the M3:s there are cheap as sh*t.
 
You can always modify a car to be faster than a factory special for much less. It wouldn't take much to make a standard GT2 faster than the RS for much less than the difference in asking price. But that is not the point of such a car. In 20 years, an RS (or GTS) will be far more coveted than any self-tuned mongrel. The factory car will also likely be far more cohesive to drive as a total unit, having been tested on the gnarliest track on the planet, with warranty backing. Blow a tuned-up M3 engine and you're probably looking at $10k+ in parts and labor to fix it (not sure what the actual euro eqvt would be; no GTS for US).
At only 150 units, I don't think BMW are being too greedy. That is only about 1/10th of current 997.2 GT3 RS production, and about 1/20th of total 997 GT3 RS production.
I have a hunch the M3 probably drifts more naturally than the GT3 RS. If all you're after is fun on a road or track and not outright lap times, which probably describes 99% of even track drivers who aren't racers, that could count for something. And yeah, VBH is a freak. I get the feeling she needed a cigarette after that.
 
wow, that car is pure loveliness, but absurdly priced. But as the last naturally aspirated M car for the forseeable future as well asits rarity, I'm sure it'll appreciate in value.

BTW, when she was talking about the roll cage, methinks she put a bit more emphasis on the word "rigid." ;)
 
her description of the Alcantara clad steering wheel is enough to tell you that her taps were gushing :D
 
Is she sitting in a normal recaro seat or is it a seat which you can buy at places were i don t shop.

She is screaming 15 orgasms a minute.

That sums it up just perfectly! :t-cheers:
 
Sounds like it needs an OPM gage with a redline of maybe 20 to limit the overheating of the internals.
 

BMW M

BMW M GmbH, formerly known as BMW Motorsport GmbH, is a subsidiary of BMW AG that manufactures high-performance luxury cars. BMW M ("M" for "motorsport") was initially created to facilitate BMW's racing program, which was very successful in the 1960s and 1970s. As time passed, BMW M began to supplement BMW's vehicle portfolio with specially modified higher trim models, for which they are now most known by the general public. These M-badged cars traditionally include modified engines, transmissions, suspensions, interior trims, aerodynamics, and exterior modifications to set them apart from their counterparts. All M models are tested and tuned at BMW's private facility at the Nürburgring racing circuit in Germany.
