BMW M3 GTS

BMW M3 GTS
The BMW M3 GTS was caught making its rounds at the Nurburgring a couple of weeks ago & it has now been officially revealed. Now lets get down to the details of the most extreme 3 series-based factory car of the current E92 generation. First off is the heart of the Fiery beast which is the 4.4-litre V8 based on the 4.0-litre engine found in the standard M3 which is capable of churning out 450bhp (an increase of 36bhp). The 7-speed M dual clutch transmission (M-DCT) with adapted shift characteristics wraps up the drivetrain. ------

There is the 19-inch aluminium wheels come wrapped inside 255/35 front and 285/30 rear tyres for added aesthetics. The BMW M3 GTS now sits on an upgraded suspension featuring a yellow springs for a threaded suspension while the rear axle support is said to be bolted in place. Aerodynamics & stability is further enhance with adjustable rear wing which generates high levels of downforce coupled with the front splitter. ------

BMW's success of reducing the weight of the M3 GTS is attributed to materials such as carbon fibre roof, light body-contoured seats, a new titanium rear silencer whose work can be heard on the video as well as the removal of air conditioning and the rear seat. Safety features to accompany the inherently 'fast' M3 are rollover protection mounts which were bolted on from the B column while a fire extinguisher and a battery master switch/emergency shut-off preparation mechanism. -----
