Jonny Smith reviews the BMW M3 GTS:
When I first saw the vital statistics of the BMW M3 GTS I felt a bit sorry for the dealers trying to shift them. You can imagine the sales pitch: it comes in any colour as long as it’s Glasgow tanning-salon orange; it’s similar to the standard M3, except that, oh yes, it comes with not many creature comforts, plastic windows and no back seats; and then there’s the price — £117,630. That’s £64,555 more than the standard version and just a bit more than its direct rival the Porsche 911 GT3 RS at £109,123 (which also happens to be a bit faster and more powerful). Interested?
On the face of it, I’m guessing not. But, as it turns out, you’d be wrong and I know because I’ve just driven one. Very, very fast. On an empty racetrack.
