BMW has released two new videos showing the M3 GTS in action.

Designed to be harder, crisper, and more responsive track ready version than the standard M3, the GTS boasts a 4.4-liter V8 engine that produces 450 bhp. Besides the enlarged engine (up 0.4-liters and 36 bhp), the car also features numerous weight saving changes such the omission of a rear seat, automatic air conditioning, an audio system, and sound insulation. Other goodies include six-point seat belt harnesses, a rollcage, and a seven-speed M DKG Drivelogic transmission.

While the Europeans can savor a new high performance M-model, our American readers better take a good look - the car is "not currently planned for the North American market."

Set to go on sale in spring 2010, the BMW M3 GTS will cost approximately €115,000 ($170,625 USD).

I think it is awesome, but to rival the GT3 RS is quite a challenge for a 3-series.

what sucks is that it according to the article it won't be coming stateside, don't understand that decision seeing as how the U.S. should be its biggest market.

@ McNamara68 , because of the weak dollar , they'd have to sell a lot of cars to make a profit in the US , maybe the demand isn't high enough there.

I would be shocked if this car competes with the GT3RS. I don't know what the brake upgrade is but the current M3 brakes are like all the M3's before it......not up for track use. The quickly go away and go through rotors like crazy. My M3 had ducting, upgrades to fluid, pads, rotors and they can't compete with Stoptech or Brembo. Brakes from BMW are a dissapointment.

The music is 'Goodstreet - Cops in the 80s'.
