BMW M3 GTR E46

The BMW M3 GTR E46 was introduced in 2001, as a race car, but due to ALMS regulations, BMW had to produce road going homoglation versions of it. In the 2001 ALMS series, 10 of these street version GTR's were put on sale, each for $218,000.

The 4.0L V8 engine, which is also available in the race edition of the M3 GTR, is very similar, except that it has been modified to meet standards for such as noise regulations and emissions.

Silver
The "Silver" edition of the E46 was added in the first closed beta, and it was available for in-game Cash, until July 12th, 2011, when it became available for SpeedBoost. It features street tuned parts.

BMW M3 GTR (E46)
The "BMW M3 GTR (E46)" edition is available as a one-day rental. This edition has the same name as the car itself, and comes pre-equipped with a level 2 Lowering Kit.

Blue
The "Blue" edition was introduced on July 12th, 2011, when the "Silver" edition became available for SpeedBoost. It features no performance parts.

Most Wanted
The Most Wanted Edition was made available with no notice on June 18th, 2013, but was then made unavailable shortly after it was made available. It is custom tuned and came with 3 star race skill mods.

Overall Performance
The BMW M3 GTR E46 (Street) has a stock top speed of 300 km/h (186 mph) which is above average for a Class B car. The acceleration of the E46, however, is below average, and may be hard to keep up with cars that have quicker acceleration. However, it can be somewhat compensated for with its strong nitrous. The handling is very grippy and responsive. It's able to take corners at both low speeds and high speeds well, due to sufficient traction.

For Pursuit Outrun and Team Escape, the E46 can be used as a good escape vehicle. The vehicle has a nimble body, which makes it easy to go through roadblocks. Its heavy weight allows for it to smash through roadblocks and to take collisions with heavy police vehicles, such as Rhinos, easily. Because of the E46's responsive handling, it can evade Rhinos without any difficulties. However, due to its weak acceleration, it could take a while before the M3 GTR E46 recovers from the collisions.
