BMW M3 GTS


This is a newly released present from the M division at BMW. As if the M3 was not a great car to begin with the boys and their toys have been putting in extra work make this hardcore GTS. They did this upgrade with the old 06’ model and finally did it to the 12’. Losing the comforts for weight to power ratio they took everything you can imagine, and just like the 06 GTS are so serious about this...the bottom of the trunk is card board. Stiff suspension, harsher gear changes, ferocious acceleration is promised, but not much is known about this car yet. BMW have kept the full performance figures secret until the full release later this year but they let us know it means business. Boring out the 4.0 litre engine to a 4.4 and increased the power from 414hp to 444 whilst still saving weight. They chose not reveal how much weight was removed but when things like leather electronic seats, radio, floor mats and glass rear windows you can imagine it is going to be a surprising amount. Again slick tires will be standard on the GTS along with signing a weaver to show that the owner understands that the tires will not work in cold or wet conditions and that this is a serious driving machine that could kill you. Last time we saw anything like this was on the Black series from BMW which did not dis-appoint. I am looking forward to hearing the reviews of this new M creation. Now luckily my friend works for a high end car dealership which have a GTS all ready in stock and was kind enough to take some pictures for me. Hopefully you enjoy.
