do you think that the M3 GTS is a good choice?

**CraigMillwardCroft** · 10-08-2013, 12:15 PM

Its nice but not as good as the CSL

Given the cost and power, it should really be faster - only 2 seconds a lap better around the Ring than the CSL says it all really (and explains why the CSL was the only M-car not present at the launch of the GTS - even BMW didn't want the comparison

).

10 laps of any track as they left the factory and GTS would be gone. It is a much better engineered car out the box, gearbox cooler, proper suspension, proper brakes. If anything the fact that it is only 2 seconds quicker give credence to the rumours that the 7:50 csl wasn't standard

Would love to see GTS on track. What other credence has that new rumour got?

Really wanted to love a GTS but seems a disappoint to me after watching some reviews. Only vbh seemed to rave about it.

I'd have one a heartbeat..

Was fence sitting when they came out, but I've fallen for them.

Though would have a CRT over this. Coolest car BMW made of late.

Absolutely brilliant car and very brave for bmw to have gone with such an extreme in your face car. Even the max power rear spoiler is growing on me. I love the colour

Not a new rumour, as old as the lap time itself. Legend has it that it was on ohlins...

The non standard CSL, aka CSL loaded did 7:22 not 7:50

I am talking about the sport auto 7:50 lap.
