ARESING, Germany — G-Power, the BMW tuning house, is offering a pair of street-legal M3 Clubsport models through its recently organized Motorsport Division.
Unveiled earlier this month at the Nurburgring 24 Hours, the G-Power M3 GT2 S is the initial offering from the division as its answer to the Porsche 911 GT3 RS. A slightly more "civilian" version is badged as the M3 Tornado CS.
G-Power's potent SK II CS supercharger kit is installed on both models, providing 592 horsepower and 428 pound-feet of torque. Mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox (a six-speed manual is also available), with exhaust exiting through a titanium system, the engine propels the M3 GT2 S from zero to 60 mph in less than 4.1 seconds, with the M3 Tornado CS only marginally slower, at just under 4.3 seconds. Top speed is 205 mph.
The G-Power mods include a Clubsport adjustable coil-over suspension kit with beefier front and rear stabilizers. Both models get 20-inch forged alloy rims. The M3 GT2 S is fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires (245/30R20 front and 315/25R20 rear), while the M3 Tornado CS gets Michelin Pilot Sports rubber (255/30ZR20 front and 295/25ZR20 rear).
A G-Power aero kit bundles carbon-fiber front and rear skirts, spoilers, fenders and rear diffuser. The cockpit sports carbon-fiber racing buckets (the rear bench is removed to save weight) and a leather trim package.
Inside Line says: You can order the full-boat M3 GT2 S for only $170,000. — Paul Lienert, Correspondent

The initiative taken for the concern is very serious and need an attention of every one. This is the concern which exists in the society and needs to be eliminated from the society as soon as possible. I subscribe to Insider Score, and that is correct there has been scant insider buying. Insider Score's market wide buying indicator tracks very closely my sentiment indicators.

BMW Factory Motorsport MZ4 V8 race car is a smoking deal for the hardcore enthusiast at $298,000.00 Scottsdale Motorsport. com has all the info and they have access to a BMW E46 M3 PTG race car as well as a spare factory roll cage to build up a custom E46 V8 M3 like the one that showed up in the 2001 Rolex and 24 hour lemans series. The factory BMW M3 PTG P54 race car has a zero to sixty of 3.5 seconds these factory race cars are incredible. I just watched a race with some old and new factory race cars the 2002 BMW M3 PTG won the whole meat and showed its strengths battling it out with a factory built race Dodge viper V10, Porsche 911 Cup car and a Subaru WRX STI modified by Dyno Comp up to 780 Horse Power. It was a great race of power skill and technology.

A stock $85k Nissan GT-R will still eat if for lunch with AWD.
Add a $20k Switzer P800 package and the GT-R will annihilate this thing.

just because 0-60 doesn't change doesn't mean this M3 is much faster than stock. 0-60 is extremely traction limited. I bet 50-120 it would completely destroy a stock M3. Also i don't see why this "track car" needs 20in wheels. just seems like it would be excessive rotating mass.

I agree...it doesn't seem like acceleration numbers on a lot of these high-powered variants are increasing any 0-60 times for sure. Top speed is higher though. Probably handles better too, but don't think that's worth all that extra green.

$170,000 plus void BMW warranty = $170,000 + $70,000 = $240,000!

I'm hoping those acceleration numbers are conservative, because as wicked as that GT2 S looks, that's not really any quicker than a factory M3. Faster yes, but doesn't seem worth the extra $100K over stock. And I'm usually a big fan of these high-powered tuner specials.
