Mythic,

To answer your question, first you have to answer three questions.

1) Are you still in the market for a car that will be 12-15% more expensive?

2) Are you ok with losing a few thousand $/€/£¥ depending on where you live, just to be able to enjoy an RS right now?

3) Can you get your hands on a GT3RS LE allocation?

It's a narrowbody...

You tell me?

Hanging out with three of its Weissach buddies. Photos previously posted to RennTeam 2.0 by a sharp-eyed European gentleman:
Savy - sorry to disappoint - I have one just like that in my garage. It is a narrowbody with RS rear lid and wing.
It _might_ have a 4L engine, but you cannot tell from the outside.
The sill is from a narrowbody.
My EU 2010 has the 4 side LEDs.
The centrelocks are grey from a GT3.
I do think, however, that a narrowbody with RS aero, CUP final drive, CUP intake, RS LWFW and RS 6th gear is the way to go but I would say so myself, wouldn't I?
Best, w

I tell you what I've just done: sold my GT3 RS MKII with 7000Km (still at a VERY good price) and signed a contract for the LE.

Could be true but new V8s can be lighter. The V8 in the current M3 is something like 30 lbs lighter than the S54 I6 from the E46 M3.
