Yeah I think it's this one, the 2001 GTR version...

Dont search in google, since you will only find the 2003 version...

not arguing, were dicussing :wink: about the m3 gtr and which version we'll get in the game (if it's true that we get the road version, then there's only 2 reasons (imo) why they post pics showing the car with sidepipes, that bodykit, the spoiler: licenced body parts or lack of realism... )

There's no such thing as a 'road' version of the M3 GTR. It's commonly used for racing in tracks.

2 versions needed to be built. the racing version wouldnt have gotten the permission to race in some series bcs an amount of cars were needed to sold to the streets in order to get accepted in some series.... thats why there are 2 versions

To be frank, I can't see any difference between these two BMW's other than the paint jobs, otherwise everything looks to be the same.

M3 --> Street ride
M3 GTR (Pic, game) --> Racing

Notice the 'GTR' thing :D

BTW, I don't remember EA saying "Street version" anywhere...

When you say the road version, you're saying that this BMW GTR that is gonna be in Most Wanted is gonna be filled in with the M3 specs, not the M3 GTR specs.

Just found the answer:

We'll get the BMW M3 GTR Street Version... LOL.
It's not a normal M3, it's not a racing GTR, it is a GTR Street version :D

The kit in this car is different.. so I guess there will be licenced BMW parts in the game. I mean, that wing and body kit in the screenshots are not in the stock BMW M3GTR street.

If the body kits aren't stock, how do you explain 2furio's post with the M3 GTR?

Arrrrrrrrggggggghhhh

:lol:

I've come to the conclussion that we will get the BMW M3 GTR Street version, just as EA said somewhere (so it makes sense).

2furio's pics (and my real life pic) is the BMW M3 GTR Racing version.

I think we will be able to install those racing kits in the game.

Ok, some clarification, no, I do not own that really nice BMW kit car though I wish. You can still buy a black-coloured version from Minichamps, only in England though. Secondly, that toy is NOT the GTR race version, look very closely at the box in the bottom right corner. Notice it says GTR "Street". My guess is that there are multiple versions of the GTR Street Version, same with Lancer EVO.

Wow! Cool MAN! :D

I would like to see a Dodge, a Lamborghini, a McLaren or even a Nissan! ;) :D :) :mrgreen:

Now I am really looking forward to this game. Hey EA, speed up! Increase manpower! Money will be rolling in, mind you (EA)! :lol: ;) :D :) :mrgreen:

I hope when Most Wanted is released, there is stock here, or else I will have it out with the supplier, lol :lol: .
