E46 M3 GTR Comprehensive Thread

Curious what the white sticker on the trim says.

Probably says "not for sale" 🤣

Would love to have those seats

Subtle but noticeable interior details. The cabin largely looks similar to the standard E46 M3 coupe. The seats, non-multifunction steering wheel, trim, center console, radio, HVAC controls, and no floor mats appear to be exclusive bits. Only one button for DSC, too. Does anyone know if the shift knob is different from the standard E46 M3?

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.

Always Loved these pics of the GTR Road version in the UAE BMW showroom. I wonder if we can still see this car at the BMW WELT.

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.

That engine looks tiny!

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.

From a 2003 PTG visit:

These are great - thanks for sharing. Any closer views of the front and rear suspension geometries?

This PTG built M3 GTR sold for $196k a few years ago. Would be a dream to own a PTG GTR.
