BMW tries to take on the 911 GT3 and....... - REED - 11-05-2009
fails, hard.
The new M3 GTS - a stripped down, pumped up M3, just like the GT3 and GT3 RS

I respect what they are did, but the price is just so far out of whack that I can't see why anyone would buy one.
I did a little research
M3 3700lbs 415hp $60K
GTS 3200lbs 450hp $163K (110 Euros)
911s 3200lbs 355hp $88K
GT3 3075lbs 415hp $112K
GT3RS 3031lbs 450hp $132K
if i was looking for a pimptastic trackday car, that $30K buys a lot of tires for the GT3RS

heh, maybe if they hadn't started with a 3700 car, they might have something! And yeah, that price is like, wow. :lol:

european cars usually end up being priced lower here than their direct euro to usd exchange rate.
but its still heavier and pretty boring looking compared to the GT3RS. that wing looks terrible.

when i researched BMWs in Germany i noticed they were priced a LOT more than in the US. i asked my coworkers in Germany about this and a lot had to do with the taxes already implemented into the cars prices'. I don't know why, but they're always inflated in Europe. The prices were consistently about 30-40% higher...yes, that much higher...that's not a typo.

yeah, if they really have to pay 19% VAT tax ....holy fuck thats a lot of money. I felt like i was getting assreamed paying 3%
(minus the 19% VAT its priced exactly equivalent to the GT3RS)

Everything you guys are saying makes sense. But from someone that grinds up ///M and snorts it when I cant get to my car, a fucking M3 GT3 is what I fap to at night.
I wanna turn mine into an E36 one. Mwahaha.
