Thread: Official: 2011 BMW M3 GTS

The cult following that the 2004 E46 M3 CSL created meant that a hardcore sporting variant of this car was always on the cards.

Details are just leaking out at the moment, but from what we’ve been reading, it sounds very good indeed! As you’d probably expect, the weight loss is a major selling point. 190kg have been lost, in total the car weighs 1,490kg. A pretty respectable weight in our opinion considering the old CSL weighed 1,385kg. The practical reasons for the weight loss are obviously to be seen on the track where the GTS is expected to excel, past the limits of the standard car.

Read more, see more pictures + a video!

I know it's here aswell, but I'm sure GTspirit is having many more text and explication

The M3 GTS will go on sale in Germany next May with other European sales starting sometime in the future, during summer 2010. Speculation suggests that the car won’t make it to the US though.

The footage shows BMW’s personal track where development engineers are checking the BMW M3 GTS. You will see some impressive slow-motion pictures.
