Pics of the GTS

Ant Man · 04-03-2011, 11:56 AM

This is car number 76. I might put down a deposit

The brakes look seriously trick. Fan boys will love the M emblem on the hubs and disc centres. I wanted to get some pics of the subframe but camera was low on power.

The seats are not for fatties, I'm medium build and they were just right. Not sure if adjustable?

This is for people curious about the car running spacers up front. It does but this pic isn't very clear.

Will try and take some more over the next few days

My local where I work in London - Sytners Canary Wharf branch. They get many 'special' BMW through the show room but are really pleased having the GTS.

Holy shit!

aajami · 04-03-2011, 12:26 PM

I need to convince Ian to poke around those front wheels in person to get more details of the spacer/lug setup

jonasaurus · 04-03-2011, 12:44 PM

Nice.. they must have just got it in recently to the CW Sytner, wasnt there about a week ago when I walked past!

creepy coupe · 04-04-2011, 03:03 AM

Very nice.

Interestingly, they had the same combination of cars at the Autosport International in January.

Zero7 · 04-06-2011, 07:06 AM

Nice... But that rear spoiler look like out of Halfauds, they could have made it out of CF and made it look trick ala GT3 RS

Agree, but its engineering over looks, even though it does look pants!

tlp · 04-06-2011, 01:59 PM

I sat in one last week in Munich. The seats were very comfortable.

The rotors and brakes are definitely different. Larger Rotors mated to Brembo Calipers.

FYI: The normal M3 Rotors have aluminum centers with ///M logo as well.

Do it! You can't take it with you... but you can drive a GTS!

Ant Man · 04-07-2011, 11:47 AM

Car is for sale at £118k. I'm putting a deposit down tomorrow.

Has this happened?

No unfortunately

Wife not keen.

I'm going back today to take more pics of front suspension and spacer.

jonasaurus · 04-08-2011, 04:17 AM

£118K would be a hard one to get any wife onboard with! Don't give up! lol

Zero7 · 04-08-2011, 01:55 PM

Well, just watched 5th great and VBH was driving the GTS around the circuit and loved it. 'If this car was a man I would marry it' were her comments.

She would not comment on whether she preferred it over the GT3RS, so basically said they were on par.

Ant Man · 04-12-2011, 03:13 PM

More pics. The suspension components look top drawer. Braided hoses too.
I'm surprised how restrictive the rear section of the exhaust looks near the lower rear suspension arms but BMW must have done their homework so I doubt it's a bottleneck.

If I was going to spend £100k+ on a car, it would be thus plus ESS Supercharger from Simpsons Motorsport. 700+bhp and massive downforce

One can dream

kay-singh · 05-05-2011, 01:18 PM

Wowsa! Thats a nice motor!

Ant Man · 05-12-2011, 07:40 AM

The car has been sold

Customer from Sytner Nottingham bought it.

Not cool. I am then soon to be deprived from perving at the car every time I walk past there now :P
