BMW M6 GT3 Nurburgring images

First sight of the M6 on track - has that rear wing got bigger?

---

Alright, we've been bleating on about the BMW M6 GT3 a fair bit recently. But it's not every season a new BMW motorsport car is announced, is it? Combine that with the incredible way the M6 looks and hopefully you can understand the ongoing excitement. Then when the race car is competing we can begin discussing a road version...

How racing cars should always look!

Here is the M6 GT3 on track for the first time, battling with a half dry and half wet track at the Nurburgring. But then mean and moody conditions are easily matched by the car, the malevolent stationary look translating on the move too; see the profile shots and how much space the wheel/arch combo takes up. Stance and spoilers and you're half way there for a racing car!

The noise is described as "incredible" by our photographers, which bodes well for when we all finally get chance to see it. A few sponsors are already on the car but we're no closer to seeing a livery yet. Well if the retro colours aren't to be seen on the Hommage R then why not for the racing car? Until there's more news - and we will certainly be covering it - enjoy the pics for now!

Watch the video here.

Wish they did this with the E63 V10 version. Imagine that with racing exhaust racing at the Nurburgring.

This one does sound pretty mental though. Reminds me of the CLK GTR with all the clunkiness in the transmission.

Looks awesome! Though a weird car to make a GT3 version of it seems to me, given the M6 is a 2 tonne barge. Then again, less strange than a Bentley Continental GT3 I suppose!
