This car is based on a stock CSL. No V8 but a highly tuned straight-6. Looks amazing and I'm sure goes like stink too [ok

I hope that table for 4 on the back is ABSOLUTELY necessary for downforce..

I just found out that's a UK car! It belongs to a wealthy customer of HTR.

Here's another pic :cool:

I've heard of the M3GTr's before, two were entered by BM during the Nurburgring 24 race but failed to finish, they did set fast time though. Sabine said it was the best car she's driven around the ring at the time.

Looks slightly different from the M3 csl GTR, no side exhaust for one.

The factory GTR has a racing V8 but the one pictured retains the Motorsport straight 6. Even the roll cage is different. The original BMW Motorsport roll cage looks like this (as per the V8 GTR)

There isn't a factory CSL GTR but only the M3 GTR. You can't just buy a GTR. There are only 15 built and they are allocated to BMW race teams. They cost 250,000Euros each. So for club racers, you'll have to build your own.

A little off-Topic, but hey. Yes I can see why you say that, but its just the way the other image is overlayed. I assure you I would not be driving around like that.
