Does anyone know if the shift knob is different from the standard E46 M3?

    The HVAC controls aren't exclusive to the GTR, they came on CSLs without aircon and some standard 3 series as well.

    Probably says "not for sale" 🤣

    Seats are standard pole position leather seats.

    Steering is an m sport wheel without multifunction as can be seen on standard e46 models.
    HVAC control is the standard manual version, part no 1600552060.
    Radio is some standard version of bmw business from that time.
    Center console is also standard e46 without armrest.

    They put that car together in a hurry to claim a road going version in order to race ALMS. They didn't have much time to develop a whole new interior. So for the most part it's standard bits and the "less is more" philosophy.

    Door panels are also different to M3, it's standard e46 without side airbags.

    When I was at BMW Welt, they only had the race car.
    But I know that BMW Classic has at least one Straßenversion. It's also in Munich.

    Thanks for posting! Love the Hans Stuck video on the 'Ring. I will say the street version looks goofy except for the engine bay!

    I had to do because its what I do...since the current M division models have CS, competition, M-performance...how much longer until they start slapping GTR badges on 5000lb SUVs that never see a racetrack?

    It seems based on the race car photo’s they already figured out that the rear 2 subframe mounting points were a weak point.

    I am also curious if the closed off back seat panel is to create more torsional rigidity, or purely to shield the driver from the fuel cell if anything were to go wrong.
