The ginormous front air dam makes it look like an automotive caricature of Santa Claus. That's hilarious.

Are they making it lighter? Will they be releasing a GTR/CSL version to meet the sales criteria?

Das ist ein Glück!

SOOOOOOOOO AWESOMEEE!!!!!!111

ahem, sorry for that... but... pheeww.... great to hear that!

This is schweet.

Hints of Mazda Furai in those chin-whiskers....

But I gotta prefer the less-is-moreness of the regular M3.

Holy 959, Batman! [jalopnik.com]

Seriously though, this is fantastic. Now can we PLEASE get a works GT1 team to come in and break up the Corvette Show?

Finally BMW gets down to business! We always knew the boys from Muenchen had it in them...

As for the styling: yes, this things requires all the oxygen it can get. What do you guys expect from an ALMS car?

I just want to know, where does one go to test drive it?

Gorgeous... love the bbs/mesh wheels.

That hood! UUUUNNNGGHHHHRRRRAAAAAAAAHHHH phew....

I need a towel.

Yes I will take the homologation unit.

Its like being kissed by Jesus!

What took them so long? Those fun-loving Germans should have made this first!

The vents behind the wheels are pure C4 Callaway Vette.

@M_Richardson:
Like the e30 M3 racer was :)

Emphatic hell yes, that is all.

P.S. GT1 or GT2? The last gen was GT2, but it would be incredible beyond words if they went up against Corvette and Aston.

That M3 looks as extreme as 3.0 CSL Group 5.

Could it actually be a GT1, with those aerodynamics and those wider tracks?

Wait, disregard that. 485 bhp engine only.

Looks like BMW have gone overboard with the aero just like with their F1 car which is a bit of a dog right now. Hope this car is as fast as it looks.

All is good in the WORLD again!

WOW! They've almost completely de-Bangled the car. WTG.

This looks like a car I could get myself killed in...
