Couldn't agree more! It's the little details that make all the difference.

I wonder how the size of the car is compared to the M6GT3?

I just came back from GTLM race where BMW is using M6 platform. BMW came in 3rd and 5th. 1st and 2nd were Pcars 911. The gap between 2nd and 3rd cars was huge that one would never be able to catch up. While BMW did good, it is obvious M6 is just too large and heavy. Why not use M4 platform? What is M8 for on a race track? It is going to be another larger and heavier car....

And since this is a production based class we are talking about, there is no BMW M3/M4 being produced today with a V8. And I doubt a waiver could be obtained like the Z4M GT3 which had a v8. https://www.google.com/amp/www.autob...-you-can-race/ |

Would be cool if the race car had a naturally aspirated V...fill in the blank.
Was recently at the Sportscar rave in Mosport Canada and the only cars that sounded good were those Porsche 911 RSRs....basically everything else with their turbo engines sounded terrible |

Looks like a more expensive M6. The GTE and the street version. I was more excited about a more sleek rear engine R8/NSX competitor than a larger M6. The concept looks more luxurious than sporty.
The M6 GT3 has been a bust of a program. Gets shellacked by the likes of the RSR, Ford GT, and 488. I miss the Z4 GT3 days at least i enjoyed watching it run against the big boys. Rant over.
