What do you guise think? There are three of them white ones coming and I've been offered one with smg or whatever they call their F1 tranny.

 

M-DCT, not F1, but dual clutch.

I'd pass, as there is nothing all that special over a standard model.

 

I think it's legit. Tranny is DCT, not sequential but dual clutch. The interior touches are really nice and am greatly looking forward to dakar/dakar stitched interior!

 

I think it looks good...saw a few in person and it definitely looks special to me.
But you can easily get this look with aftermarket mods as well...

So if I were Jamie...for a second....I`d inquire for the new badass M3 GTS !!!

(if it is available in the states)

 

Get one Jamie - the E9X M3 is a remarkable car, and this edition adds a cherry on top. The DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission), is a big improvement over SMG. I hope to get this car next.

Great vid - DCT, and aftermarket exhaust!

Oh yea Jamie, if you can wait, I hear a new Competition Pkg model is coming out. This isn't the GTS, but it's similar to the Comp Pkg offered on the e46 M3 model.

 

If you can buy it right, why not? I'm a big fan of the M3!

 

if you are not sold on the GTS after the third video...
you might as well drive a Fiat Panda and feel good

Tru. ECB, last I heard, the GTS isn't coming to the US...

 

the gts is ugly with that spoiler, and i think its over priced and is a bad version of the e46 csl. if you look the are trying to compete with the gt3 in performance as well as price, and i would much rather have a gt3 just my .02.

 

yes...your 2 cents.
I respect that



Jamie already owns some badass cars so we`re not talking about it as a competitor to the GT3 but as an successor to the regular M3.

btw...it`s much better than the old CSL...
they did more to it and even brought up the topic in their press release,telling that they did not want to redo another CSL on base of the new M3,but develop a completely new and improved,track ready M3!

the wing is ugly but is fitted for a reason...but I`m sure you can take it off when not tracking the car.
and another great thing is that it will be much more rare than the GT3 or the old CSL,since it will be built specifically for you and only upon an inquiry
And
