North America Didn't Get The Incredible E92 BMW M3 GTS, But You Can Buy This Convincing Clone | Carscoops carscoops
Stripped down to the bare essentials, the GTS featured polycarbonate rear and rear-side windows, a pair of bucket seats and a roll cage where the rear bench used to be, fully adjustable suspension, upgraded brakes and a V8 enlarged from 4.0 to 4.4 liters, boosting power from. Weight was down 165 lbs versus the standard M3 coupe, but the price shot up to €137,000 in its homeland, making it twice as expensive as a standard M3 at the time.
But maybe the reason it doesn’t get much exposure today is that it was never sold in North America. The lack of regular safety kit like airbags and DOT seatbelts, plus the cost of re-homologating that bigger V8 would have sent the already high price soaring. So rich U.S. and Canadian BMW fans missed out on the GTS, though to be fair, so did plenty of people in Europe:So this 25k-mile M3 pictured here isn’t the real deal, but it looks, and should feel, very convincing.
