Yeah they sold a limited number of m3's in the "gtr" spec in the states ... basically just the e39 engine shoe horned in and some touring car body kit horse sh*t.

So far the E46 M3 GTR would have to be my favourite 3 series.

Always liked them. So f**kin tuff

More like Arab states only Josh, look at the writing.

Would have been badass to see one with the 4.0L they ran in the GTR rather than the 5.0L from the E39.
