What's the going rate for a CLK DTM these days?

[still no worries]

gts

if it was a stock csl all you would need to shave 2 sec's off is big brakes !
(and you get lot's of change out of £125,000)

It put a smile on Valentino Rossi's face when he drove it, so in my reckoning it must have something good going for a road car to make him smile

I guess you know he drives an M3 CSL but he didn't buy yet an M3 GTS

:shock: I didn't know he had one.

The only motorcycle racer I knew had one was Shakey Byrne a few years back.

A fat finger I think, lucky they're not in fx or something lol

On web site it's POA...Although I'm sure I say it advertised for around 98k....Now would you buy it for that. I do love the GTS but thought it was a shame BMW never made it look a bit more special.....As Mercedes did with C63 AMG Black....I think thats the car I would have instead of the GTS..

They do look nice but could do with something to make it stand out rather than just the colour :thumbs:

That comment is getting close to the award of the day :gayfight:

I will break rank here and say that I seriously contemplated one of these. I've been and wasted more than one dealer's time in the last 12 months kicking the tyres. They may be in a bad colour, with a cheap wing and some awful interior features, but my God it was everything you would want in a BMW in many other ways. In the flesh, they are lovely and sound awesome.

The deciding fact against it was that for the money and the sacrifice needed to buy it, it didn't stand the value test against, say, a regular E90 with £25k of aftermarket kit. As an investment, it would do ok but I wouldn't be able to put miles on it (no use). And my wife correctly said that I would look like even more of an utter tit than usual if I cruised around in a bright orange car with some scaffolding in it.

She got it in one - Orange is so last years colour!
Now the proposed 'M235i Racing' is something else worthy of consideration, with or without scaffolding and the tea tray, not to mention half the price! :whistle:

Orange is so last years colour!

And if Porsche launch their 991 GT3 RS in orange, it will be be back in fashion.


The GTS orange goes back to the BMW Jagermeister racing cars dating all the way back to the 70's, and has been used on many subsequent models.

Porsche have also used that colour on their race cars
