Forget The M3 CSL, The BMW M3 GT/GT4 May Make An Appearance..

There is one hot debate going on at M3post.com and it appears that BMW has something very exciting in the pipeline and it will NOT be an M3 CSL.  The internet rumor mill is suggesting that a GT/GT4/Club Sport-type racer is the mystery car lapping the 'Ring.

I guess they are trying to put it up against the Black Series CLK. I hope this car comes without the roll cage.

Sounds very cool, but I don't like them not offering a 6MT.

This picture is not indicative of what it will look like. Simply a file photo.

From the spy photos it looks pretty similar to the regular M3 with an added spoiler/wing.

If this DOES progress, I am sure BMW will ensure different styling.

Agents. Do you have any idea how much this setup will be?

M3post is saying around 110k Euros.

Slots in under a 997 GT3.

Mine, too. But at $125,000 (by other forums) that will be an Audi R8 territory. I'm not surprised now that BMW will not be bringing this over to the US.

I thought the name GT is now reserved for BMW's new humpbacks.
