I agree, it's probably some dude on a riced M3. What makes one assume this is factory testing?

What makes this a "riced" out M3? Do you even know what the term "rice" mean? I don't think so.

Yea, that's even worse than a riced M3... What's with the stupid wing?

@ 122 , rice is a cereal grass (Oryza sativa) that is cultivated extensively in warm climates for its edible grain. happy now ?

Look a bit like the M3 I had in Shift.
If that is a CSL, I can't wait!

indeed, the question is: is it a private tuned M3 or a factory-tested kit? If BMW is testing a streetlegal Race-M3 it will be interesting for sure, but I will believe the company that the CSL don't will get an successor.

if it really was some kind of prototype, bmw would have covered up their bmw emblems

good point about the emblems, this is just a riced out bimmer unfortunately

They ask why is BMW testing a M3 at the ring? Not: why is a M3 being tested at the ring?
The GT4 theory would likely be the most plausible.

There's only two options IMO:
- as you said, and I immediately thought as soon as I saw the image; "a road going version of the BMW M3 GT4"
- or some guy with a riced out m3 as scratchy says...

who cares... hardly anyone can afford the basic version they offer now.

Lennox....
that rear wing looks alot like the wing on the BMW M3 Staressenversion back in 03 it could be a GT version going road legal who knows.. but its not a CSL it might have the rims and all but the CSL never carries a big wing a really do hope it never does the CSL is perfect just how it is. or maybe there trying to touch toes with the GT3 ??? its showing a roll cage.. like i said who knows

i agree with GuyOH not only but the trunk it has a bagde in corner of something

the licenseplate shows that it is a factory owned car. a lot of certain letter combinations are reserved for bmw and that is one of those. also the cable at the front of me looks like a kind of sensor or something. the badge at the trunk should be the one from KW springs&dampers

It's probably just a guy that wants to modify his own m3...probably not factory-prepped

As my uncle is working pretty high at Motorsport GmBH I can say you are all wrong and there is no secret!
They are testing new powerplant for the upcoming M3 in year 2013, now they will test it and improve it thru those years before it's ready for production!
Ohh and unce said that it's V6 not inline-6 and it's got twin-scroll twin turbo! He told me that sound is pretty similar to that of a Nissan GT-R and it's fantastic!
So you hear it here first ;)
