"The ultimate factory M3 comes with more in all the right departments and less wherever it made sense for a street-legal track car. Instead of the standard M3 4.0-liter V8, the E92 M3 GTS has “more” in the form of its high-revving 4.4-liter V8, which gives it 40 more horsepower. There are also more gears in the seven-speed, dual-clutch M DCT transmission. To accommodate the significant weight of the high-tech automated-manual, weight was shaved by removing air-conditioning and the back seat, while lightening everything from the rear windows to the sound insulation. Designed for the track, the M3 GTS comes with adjustable suspension, a roll bar, a front splitter and adjustable rear wing. Since the audio system was also removed, appreciating the screaming V8 is now all the easier."—Official description[1]
The 2010 BMW M3 GTS - abbreviated as "BMW E92 M3 GTS" or "BMW M3 '10" - is a rear-wheel drive track toy by BMW.
It appears in Forza Horizon as part of the November Bondurant Car Pack, in Forza Horizon 4 since Update 15, in Forza Horizon 5 as part of Series 11 and in Forza Motorsport (2023).
Synopsis[]
The M3 GTS is a track-oriented variant of the 2008 BMW M3 (E92). It gets a bigger engine and more power than the standard model and is optimised for motorsport.
It was succeeded by the BMW M4 GTS in 2016.
Platform[]
Aerodynamic features includes a race-oriented front air dam and rear wing. Weight savings include new titanium exhausts, an extra-light centre console and door linings, the omission of rear seats, automatic air conditioning and an audio system, as well as sound insulation tailored specifically to the car.
The colour is BMW Individual Special Fire Orange. Only 150 of the M3 GTS were produced, making it one of the rarest BMW M models ever produced.
