The DTM car is totally different from the production car except for its look from the outside. So basically DTM is the European version of US NASCAR (but with real headlight)!!! I still like to watch DTM only because that it makes the car look very cool. I personally like GT race more!

Sweet. I'll take the "run of the mill" lights over the "upgraded" hornets nest...I mean, LED lights. You are right on both points though. Looks are subjective and the LCI version will get LED's.

O no doubt, I meant in terms of what the DTM cars have in common with a street car. It's a purpose built race car, that has BMW backing and marketing. That's where the similarities lie with nascar, but the tech and culture is for sure a different story.

Nice to know that it still has the racing version of the E9x M3 4.0L V8 engine in it!

R&D no doubt is why they do it but there is also a huge marketing aspect to DTM as well.

One reason, if we believe press material released earlier, is aerodynamics. Here is a quote (comparing the M4 to the M3 coupe it replaces):
