What has happened to this car? My dealer still doesnt know if they are officially available in the UK?

Also, is the M3 competition pack just a slightly modded M3. Suspension, wheels, M mode etc.....

Well, I was at the 'ring yesterday and a car that looked ALOT like the GTS shots I've seen was walloping round the circuit.

It sounded great, looked great and was going like crazy...

finishing touches?

Latest I heard was that GTS will be available in the UK as a RHD machine. Official price not yet announced but expected to be circa £100k.

M3 Competition has 19-inch CSL style rims, sits 10mm lower, has re-calibrated EDC and a recalibrated MDM traction mode.

Cheers

Did it have the wing? Hope not, looks awful. Other than that I love it!

I think you heard wrong.

BMW announced they were sold out. They were only available for direct order from the factory, not through dealers.

In the right situation it will look just fine, however driving to Sainsbury's????

I have to disagree- the M3GTS orange matches nicely with Sainsbury's logo and the black wing completes the 'shopping trolley look'...

Yep thats right and it's made very little difference to a great car,just rides harder on sport setting.
