Spy Shots: BMW M3 GT4

we can see the huge rear wing and the lower lip in front. The car also looks lower to the ground. We can assume it has lost some weight, and has been fitted with some of performance racing parts. It looks right at home on the 'Ring.

See it in the gallery above, or scroll down for the photographer’s notes.

It seems like BMW is working on a hard core version of the M3 after seeing this white M3 taking some very fast laps around the Nürburgring. But what is it? Since BMW ruled out any CSL version of the current M3 the closest guess is that it could be a road going version of the GT4 racecar. A BMW M3 GT4 Street? So, what are the changes to a normal M3. Well, except from the rear wing that not even Stevie Wonder would miss, there is a lower front lip on the front spoiler. Car is also lowered and probably about 100 kg lighter. If this is really a M3 GT4 Street, we guess that some of the race typical gizmos will find its way even in this version, making it an even greater experience to drive.
With the Audi RS5 just around the corner, this could be what BMW really needs right now to keep up the interest for the M3 until the all new 3-series and M3 shows up in late 2011.
