The e92 GTS was a final special edition to the M3 and if BMW are planning to do the same with the F8x then we won't be seeing this for a few years. BUT what would be amazing if BMW decided to release an M3 that's extra driver and track focused like a GT3 and have those models regularly released as Porsche does. Hopefully us Yanks will get a chance to own these next editions.

I suppose you could say a M4 CSL = GT3RS The reality of course, is that the M cars are a very successful compromise by design. Too much luxury, tech (aka weight) to be considered true track contenders. I do wish the M division would promote the M2 as a stripped, light weight & trackable street car...sub 3000lbs |

He didn't say it's a competitor. He said it's their answer, as in their equivalent on the line. Performance wise, not even close, but I don't believe that was the argument he was trying to make.

I sort of understand what he is saying, but the basic 3 series platform is obviously so horrible compared to the base 991 platform lol |

Umm, I wouldn't say BMW has an answer to the GT3. I'm fairly confident BMW wasn't designing the M3/4 to be any sort of answer/competition/etc to the GT3. That's moderately crazy.
And BMW can release the GTS version, we just won't get it again. |

I agree with you. Just trying to play a little devil's advocate. The 991 is a pretty special car.

What's wrong with the launch colors for the F8x ?? They're all great except for SSII

Exactly. Anyone who thinks M is for motorsport so my car is a GT3 equivalent is laughable. But wouldnt you spend an extra $15K if you were offered a "GT3" model?? -200 lbs, aero, rear seat delete, shorter gear ratio.. I would in a heart beat and I think many many more would as well. I can only masturbate to this.

That is funny, SS is the only one I actually like. Blue is too skyblue, the yellow is too throw up yellow. White is played out. Black is black, boring. Gray doesn't seem to fit the car and the orange is the only other one that I like.
