Is it still open caliper single piston brakes?

And it's officially not coming to the U.S.

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

you make some valid points, built i would rather do a build like this, and have a proper 6spd, i know the dct is amazing Ive driven my friends wich is outstanding but shifting on your own just feels so much more involving....and the build quality by turner looks amazing.

but i think jamie should just buy the standard and upgrade the breaks and mod it how he feels, i really like the special edition frozen grey metallic M3.

brabusk8,

I think there is more to the GTS than performance and looks
it also has a certain value as a collectors car,since it will be very rare
It`s not an aftermarket product of independet tuners,but a genuine product of the M GmbH,offers full warranty and is simply something very special to aquire
I`m sure there are many other tuned M3s that might kicks the GTSs butt,but I simply like the fact that it is entirely crafted by BMW and is some sort of a official street legal cup car and nobody but you and a few chosen ones own the real deal,e.g. the GTS
