The History of the NFS Most Wanted M3 GTR - Theories and Speculation

- 2006 - The M3 GTR is totalled in the Canyons surrounding Palmont City.
2019 - Corrupt police officer Frank Mercer uses the M3 GTR in an attempt to escape justice.
How did it get here? Let's try and connect the dots.
I don't go so far as discussing the origins of the car. Frankly that's far more convoluted than what might have happened in the 13 years since it's last canon appearance.
How a non road legal race car found itself in the hands of street racers is a story for another video. For now, let's just concentrate on the intervening years between Carbon and Heat.
A short video clip has been taking from one of ISuckatDriving's videos. This was done simply because I have completed the game and cannot record the relevant section.

Here's that update I was talking about. It doesn't go over anything already in this video, it's solely about the M3 GTR's presence in Lakeshore.

I don’t care what other say, this car is the face of Need for Speed.
I feel what you saying but NFS has other faces like Eddies Skyline & Rachel’s 350z
Mustang gang 5.0 no, just no, the M3 is the only face of NFS
Lew -
I’m assuming it’s just an age thing. Most older people wouldn’t say the M3. We can agree to disagree though
@@mustanggang5.0 even though they’re iconic cars the m3 actually holds more value than each one of them. It means so much that a whole game revolves around getting that beloved car back from the grasp of a slithering antagonist. It is undoubtedly the most suiting face of NFS in my opinion.
@@alantheannihilator3093
I feel what you’re saying. Plus it’s the only car to come back in 2 other nfs games
When someone says 'razors m3' i absolute lose it.
"Razor's M3"
Everyone: *triggered*
Well It Was His At Some Point.
@@Leo.Sensei his? He stole it he never earned it and also if you know no limits the BMW M4 that's there is razors
@@CRMSN_RDR Never Said He Didnt Steal It Nor He Earned It, But It Was In His Possession And He Made It Faster. No Limits?
@@Leo.Sensei mobile game, NFS No Limits...
So there's another theory going around that Frank Mercer is the player from MW2005 and Carbon.
Let me remind you that this is patently impossible. You have to remember that the MW2005 player was the MOST WANTED street racer in the ENTIRE USA. A highly notorious criminal. I know the entry requirements for American police is a joke, but to the point that they'd allow a criminal into the force *without* the pulling of strings by corrupt officials?
No. Just, no. Mercer is not the player and the player is not Mercer. End of Story.
the M3 GTR is an old car that is almost 20 years old
@RockabillyFox i said that car is almost 20 years old cuz it was built in the early 2000's
@RockabillyFox ok stop pls im not gunna say anything thats just a fact about the M3 GTR
@RockabillyFox idk now sjut up
@RockabillyFox idc
my theory goes as follows: after being "totaled" it was fixed and sold instantly. but without all the extra power the MW player or Razor put in it. the new owner sold the car after a few years for a newer car. The newest owner kept the car and continued to race until he or she arrived in palm city and it was crashed again. then was taken and repaired by the police (we see the m3 gtr on a truck in the infiltration of the warehouse cutscene in heat) Then Mercer tries to escape with the m3 gtr. he is caught and the League fixes the damage done to the car before giving it to the player. The player then upgrades the car with ultimate+ parts giving the M3 GTR back her full power.
and i have this personal headcannon that the MW player comes to Plam city and meets the Heat player when he notices the M3 GTR in the garage. the mw player is shocked to see that his car is actually not in a scrap heap and is upset seeing his car that he thought he lost for good is alive and well after being gone for 13 years. the car seems to attract the mw player who lightly caresses the car's body remembering everything that had happened with her. the mw player hugs the M3 and cries his eyes out. While the heat player, Ana and Lucas all look at him with a look of confusion on their faces. the mw player offers to buy the m3 from the heat player. the heat player doesnt want to lose the car the League gave them but after seeing the MW player's actions and the way he gently touched the car lovingly but also as if it was fragile. the heat player realizes that the car that was given to them by the League was the property of man in front of them. the heat player asks if the mw player would like to ride in it. which was gladly accepted. the heat player drives the m3 perfectly and then switches seats with the mw player who ends up driving the m3 even better. the heat player desides that the car should stay with the one who loves her the most. that being the mw player. unknown to the heat player the mw player had bought a similar m3 gtr and had it customized to look exactly like his but had a note inside saying. "Thank you for giving me my car back. I know you liked her so this is my gift to you. a 1 to 1 remake of her. Maybe one of these days we can race together but for now i think im just going to enjoy diving my m3 again."
and then there's my idea for the next game which continues off the headcannon but everyone from previous installments are in it. The House now with many of the old bosses is back this time they are coming for everyone. its up to you to beat them again but you now have access to the cars from all across nfs but as a new player. the characters still return but their cars are not unlocked as playable until completing the story with the M3 GTR being one of the best cars in the game. the final boss would be the Collector and it would take a while to get to that point via building up your rep and the trust of other crews. all of the things you do can aid or harm you in the last battle. the bad ending sees you losing the collector and him getting away causing you to lose the unlockable rewards but gain over 50 million bank this can only be done if you didnt get help to ward off the police presence and end up getting wrecked or purposefully letting him get away. the good ending sees all of the nfs casts enjoying a party where in 1 final cutscene the group takes a picture with all of the protagonists faces being covered. the image gets smaller and shows up in a frame above a fireplace and in the background you hear the words "Did you really think that Id stop chasing you" Before tires screech and the screen cuts instantly to black and the credits roll.
edit: but then again this is just my thoughts so it really doesnt matter.
Good idea.
Wow... That's an awesome plot, bro
Now, this is cannon for me too, haha
I realy wish the mw player will come back in the next games so we can see the demon m3 gtr back
I love this theory story NFS should go with it 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ur thoughts are fucking awsome bro if NFS don't use this plot they are crazy not to listen to there fans theory's
the whole scrapyard scenario makes sense. the car ends up in the hands of another racer during a race one night,Shaw illegally impounds the car. the most wanted protagonist is already in Palm City and hears of this police crew while Lucas is on the phone with someone,who? we have no idea.
That’s what I recently said!
I guess ghost will never tell us cause ghosts gone 😭😭😭
Welp, same with BlackBox (mw/carbon devs)
YO I NEVER REALIZED THAT THEYRE GONE LMAO
What do you mean by gone?
The ghost team is not working on nfs anymore since they failed to make enough money so ea got rid of them and now citreon games have control of nfs.
@@hag2977 oh ok
Interesting theories. I feel like EA will just be like "Oh we just added it as a blast from the past, no connections to Most Wanted nor Carbon"
But yeah all those theories are logical
If that were the case I wouldn't even care cause we players will never stop making theories about this legendary car
The NFS M3 GTR was built, not bought or stolen. It has many tell tale signs. No reflector over the exhaust, a stock BMW M3 dashboard, and a different rear window. Somehow the player was in contact with a person who supplied them with M3 GTR parts.
or 2 more it could be a built Street version of the M3 GTR E46, and the owner loved it so much he wanted to turn it into the race spec version or 2, much like what is done with F1 GTR/P1 GTR's you can take them to specialized shops to become road legal, and so it could be a race spec car that has been modified for street use or the street version of the race car upgraded to the race spec
@@FoxtrotStudi0s those cars didn't have dashboards of the road cars they were based on so we can rule that out.
@@traviswalker8933 no but you can have it modified for street legal use and then have the dashboard put in for some semblance of ergonomics
@@FoxtrotStudi0s that's not plausible as I haven't seen anything done like that on a race car converted to a road car. That's true for vice versa. When a road car is converted to be used as a race car, the stock dashboard is usually kept. This car is most likely a road car with race car parts (like accurately mentioned by Razor in the beginning of the game as a kit car).
Impossible considering the 6 ever built, only 2 of which have the legendary v8 p40b60
Well Darius obviously didn't use the M3 GTR. If you watch the final cutscene of Nfs Carbon you see that he left the city in a Jaguar XKR
The XKR was owned by a member of his crew. He got into the passenger side of it (this is only implied by the ending cutscene though). The GTR could have been stored out of town.
Of course, that's just a theory. A GAME THEO-
ahh darius was the audi r8 guy ahh i mixed up who is who lol
I think that probably BMW got some check engine and yellow allarm on dashboard like it always in BMW E46 :DD
I would personally debunk the Darius theory with your own words - this car was so hot that it would be a suicide to actually use it. Darius is clever, he would probably do what you suggested - sell it overseas right away.
But who said that the M3 couldn't be brought back to America for its final run for the US street racing money?
bUt ThAt's jUSt a tHeeeeeOry - A GAME theeeeORY
Bro just think about it. Darius left but he already towed the car somewhere he planned to go after being exile from palmont city
Logic: M3 GTR can go through a massive traffic in Most wanted but get bonked by 1truck
Still_guns someone copied your entire video and played it on their channel it’s called Rejwan Ahmed they littlerly recorded this with your voice and said it’s his story of need for speed
Ty
The NFS games leave me more clueless, than books/movies with cliff-hangers
It never was meant to be thought provoking stuff TBH.
4:16
It’s also possible that the M3 could have been Darius’s, since it shares a similar color scheme to the supra.
The supra was discarded at the venue for Prostreet, as the announcer states in an easter egg that there’s a blue car with the keys left in it, license plate spelling “NFS CARBN”. It’s also possible that this was the discarded supra.
Facts I been saying that for years same color way of the BMW M3 gtr
You can See it in the Reflection of the flashbacks of Carlos if Darius say too you leave with my car you can See the key and if you Look close you See a bmw logo
The car has made an appearance in NFS Unbound, and there's a juicy reference.
I'll probably get Unbound when it goes on sale, at which point I can update this video a little bit.
EDIT: I have Unbound now, new video coming soon.
15 quid a month it's included with EA play, add it to steam as a none steam product and you can launch through steam with full wired controller support to get around EAs BS no controller shite.
@@smithyMcjoe What no controller shite?
@@still_guns EA and origin have no support for dualshock or dualsense
@@smithyMcjoe Oh, okay. Thought you meant that Unbound doesn't let you play without one.
@@still_guns Only if you play through EA, hence why EAs no controller shite.
It’s in the werehouse on the back of a towtruck in heat and maybe Mercer’s connection managed to snag it from Palmont City and they managed to repair it in that werehouse before getting sold overseas.
Here’s my theory
BMW M3 GTR driver is a former racecar racer, he got fired so he steals the BMW and repainted it with blue stripes.
I like to think that maybe it belonged to the protagonist of NFS Shift or Shift 2 and lost it in an pink slip race to the MW Hero offscreen.
Lol nah, I'm just joking. That wouldn't make any sense since the timelines don't add up.
However I will say that Shift does loosely connect to MW and Pro Street, but not Carbon.
Actually no bcz most wanted/carbon player was 18-19 when he was living in palmont and had the supra which took place in early 2001 and he got the car I think in 2004 in the end of the month of the year and he arrived in Rockport in 2005 and the game files says that he was in his earliest 20-25 yrs.and a race car driver must be more than I think 27yrs.so I think he was just a average street race in palmont and rockport
I love your dramatic fitting comentary. Gives the M3 gtr it's full respect and makes it the first time every realy mysterious
Ive always wondered what happened to the most iconic car of the NFS franchise and although those are really good scenarios(speculations) we might probably never know how it got to Palm City for sure.
I've always wondered how the BMW ended up in Palm City. Now, I finally got the answers.
You can see it in a cutscene on a tow truck
yes but its badly damaged
@@gajithasuweeraka4253 but they had time to fix it
@@VF28WWE but it was broken in the garage so it wasn't repaired when mercer bought it
Where? On Heat?
@@Leo.Sensei Yes when you do the mission where you follow the cops to their hideout u can see the m3 gtr on a truck broken af.
If we count No Limits canon to the story
Maybe the No Limits player lost the car or sold the car in Palm City, either a pinkslip race, stolen, impounded by Mercer, or he sold it
Because, there is a special event in the game where you get to drive the car, and there is a possibility that the M3 GTR being in Palm City, is the No Limits player's cause
It is in palm city, in a cutscene you can see it on a tow truck beat to hell
@@soupedsupra2721 Oh, the one where the cars are in the warehouse?
No no, that was a different M3
@@abluecar5375 oh
@@soupedsupra2721 Actually, nah, that is the MW M3!
You were right bud lmao
@@soupedsupra2721 I thought it's just another M3 with stripes on it, but nah, the car has the livery, only the big white scratches on the rear bumper made it hard to see, and the car kinda looked green or black or just really dark in general
And yes, after watching EWW NFS Heat from N4S videos, I watched the car closely, and it does have the MW livery, it was kinda hard to see, especially with the scratches and the darkness
My main man *player* (nfs mw) made it in the league!
Maybe he is the league
These are exactly all my headcanons, wow! Great video :)
Omg the M3 gtr gets as mystical as devil z a fck yea I am so down for it
My theory: After the accident at Carbon, the player gave the car to Kim (our assistant at no limits), and Kim fixed the car. After losing to No limits player Marcus King, Kim saw our vengeance and gave us the car, but he came to Razor Blackridge around the time to get the BMW m3 gtr but failed and was arrested.
My guess is difficult for the next, but it probably happened like this.
While the Player was competing in a race, Mr. Mercer came and confiscated the car.
When considering selling the vehicle illegally
he failed and tried to escape with the bmw m3 gtr but he was caught and our car switched to the heat player.
that's a good theory but mine is that after the crash in Palmont city, Darius was the one that fixed the car and kept it for himself. After he lost to the player, Darius sold it to pay for what he lost (his Audi le mans quattro). so that's when we hear Frank Mercer smuggling high performance cars especially the m3 gtr. So we can say that the m3 gtr is one of the high performance cars Mercer tries to smuggle. So the m3 gtr that mercer leaves in, is the original m3 gtr from most wanted 2006 and that's where the m3 gtr arc ends.but aye that's my theory
my theory about the m3 involves no limits since the m3 was in that with its own story
basically in no limits the m3 was left im kim's yard(kim is basically the side character who your player character works for) with the message of if the m3 can get to the top of the blacklist for blackridge in one week (where no limits takes place) that the m3 is hers, is it isn't at the top it gets took back and kim decides to pass the challenge onto the no limits player character who manages to get it to the top and win the m3, which involves beating razor who confirms it is the same m3 from mw. this win gets the blacklist in blackridge removed to stop competition for highest rank on it.
basically my theory is hat the no limits player heads to palm city for the speedhunters showdown and arrives either a similar time or before the player by a few months, manages to get into the league through the status of the m3 and the high speed task force "impound" the m3 and the player is either arrested for street racing, leaves town or gets a new car and continues on competing and then the heat events occur where the cars are recovered and the league gifts you the m3 to thank you for returning the cars
This iconic car is like the elder wand of the need for speed franchize
Here are my theories/Speculations
1. The Player got the car fixed but got it stolen
2. The player gives the car away, either he sold it or have that chosen driver proves his skills just like in No Limits, maybe, the guy that we play as, in No Limits, got into Palm City and lost the car, or someone just stole the car in Blackridge and have it imported to Palm City
Maybe this is what happened to the car
No Limits player lost the car or sold the car to Mercer
That's if we count No Limits as canon to the Most Wanted, Carbon and Heat story
Also, there is no way the player bought the car, since it's none production car, meaning it's not for sale, it's just a prototype race car, which could mean he had stolen it
Homologation
That would make a lot of sense since as said in No Limits the car was just there at Kim's house or Lawn or something, left as a symbol of racing and given us a chance to prove ourselves worthy of the car.
@@hexobyte6251 Yeah
I actually had a similar theory! Like, maybe the most wanted decided to finally let go of the car when he got to Blackridge because it was too hot to drive. That’s why he gave it up to the No Limits player
@@tjwarden6253 Nice
Can you imagine? Writing the script and editing all the scenes in one Historic video... Well Done!
Tell you a secret: there was no script. None of my videos are scipted.
My theory:
Maybe when those giant pipes hit the car in nfs carbon,
only the body of the car was damaged, but the engine and other parts are still working.
so Darius repaired the car, and he sold it, and then told the player that his car is totaled.
I thank the police of palm city pickup the BMW M3 GTR from scrap yard and was rebuilding in the factory because we saw the BMW it was loaded on the truck where all Racer's car manufacturing i think the BMW m3 gtr wasn't use for 15 years and then mercer founded and decide to build it so he could sell it
This is exactly like Brian O’Conners’ Skyline GTR R34 iconic
One thing worth noting is the chop shop scene when you discover Mercers operation. You clearly see the m3 gtr in a wrecked state on the back of a truck. So it's most likely been totalled this whole time, located by mercer because it's such a rare car and he's made a business of selling cars like that. He's had it reconditioned at the chop shop and ready to be sent somewhere to a collector.
Loved the vid, keep it up 👍😎
Cops: YES ! THE M3 IS NO MORE!
M3 GTR: *Hold my gas canister*
Personally I like the idea that the M3 was meticulously repaired and restored. The M3 E46 is much loved so I doubt smaller spares would've been too hard to find.
Plus, it WAS gone 13 years... Plenty of time to find everything needed to bring the legend back.
The Player left Palmont City in 2002 to race in Olympic City in 2003, Was injured by Caleb, six months later arrived in Bayview in 2004,defeated Caleb, Then bought the BMW M3 GTR with the money he saved up from all his races,then upgraded the car, then went to Rockport where Razor messed with it then used it to become #1 on the Blacklist in which the Player with Mia's help, got his car back, escaped Rockport, then returned to Palmont City, the rest is history.
Why does this video not have ar least 100kviews?
i think that Mercer already knew about the car and sent some men to Palmont to go find it in so that he could have something he knew he definitely would need eventually: a getaway car. Mercer had no intention of selling the GTR, after all it's THE M3, and because it was that certain M3 he knew just how powerful it was.
this just popped out of my recommendations.. i must say, i think EA really did this car dirty. we worked hard to get this car in MW. We had it in the finale which is when it's pretty much useless (unless if a player plans to complete every challenges and races). and in carbon we only had it for a few minutes, and we can't get it in career at all. they should've just made it available after beating the first 3 bosses, and say that the player had enough money to get it fixed or something. it would be a perfect way to end the duology; the previous game's boss car vs the current game's boss
The m3 gtr really is the best car in nfs history
Nope, my Carrera Gt get the corner with 230km/h and the M3 GTR take only 180km/h...every car have a fine tuning except stock ones. That M3 GTR is a stock car.
@@szoszy8916 still the most iconic
@@asianwhite1496 most iconic, but not the best.
@@szoszy8916 well best car doesnt mean the fast, it can be anything, and for most people they found it really cool and iconic so no one cares about your carrera GT
I think that after the carbon story the M3 was sitting in the scrapyard and so the MW player bought it back and slowly rebuilt the car, staying in palmont city. But he wants a change of scenery and goes to Palm city where he gets into a chase and gets busted since he isn't what he used to be. He loses the car and Mercer knowing how valuable the car is gets it to the docks to export it. Then gets caught and the car ends up back in a scrap yard as it gets totaled again this time by Heat player.
Does someone notice one thing when Anna and the player went to the factory where all hyper car were rebuilding we saw the BMW M3 gtr loaded on the truck but someone notice what was the police man saying. I tell you what he was saying ''you should've seen his face last night when I loaded on the truck. I think he was going to cry''
That could mean either the MW player got the car back and lost it or some other guy lost his car and almost cried
Tbh if I lost that “sweet ass ride” I’d cry as well.
It was in NFS:Payback
Nice Vid btw
Not really. That was just a standard E46 m3 with the bodykit and vinyl. It counts as a replica.
It’s implausible that Darius could use the M3 GTR without the Most Wanted finding out.
Well someone is using it, with or without the Most Wanted's knowledge.
Hold on a second, because i think you missed something.
The M3 GTR also appeared in the middle of campaign in NFS Heat where we were doing a research. Also in that mission Ana realized that her car was... probably sold and there we can see a M3 GTR blurred at the background, so sb used to drive it.
Am I right?
yes. i think the M3R was on the flatbed truck in that scene. however, i also think you guys missed something. throughout carbon, the player is in 3 cars for the start of the game (the cars you cannot choose). the first one, in chronological order, is the Supra. the next one is the BMW and i think there was a white or something Aston Martin DB9 you see at the title screen, when Kenji drifts around you. the AM9 is a different car for a seperate story, but my point is this.
has anyone ever noticed the paint jobs on the Supra and M3 GTR are somewhat similar? as almost if it's a crew livery.
@@mylifeasmanta fun fact, it was confirmed that the Supra was a placeholder for the bmw m3 Gtr. The m3 is the supra. But black box didn’t have enough time to license the rights for the m3 in the begging part of the cutscene, so the Supra was a “placeholder”
@@starrja whaaaaaaat?? But at the beginning of carbon we get to use the gt-r
@@neptune4200 no the first cutscene. The cutscene of the race where the player got scammed. Carbon was a relatively unfinished and rushed game.
@@starrja For a rushed game its a damn good game unlike most modern rushed games
That car is just as Legendary as The AE86, Spirit RX7, FC, other Initial D rides and media legends.
The story of the M3 has some parallels to the Elder Wand from Harry Potter. This mythical, all-powerful car/wand, suposedly the best car/wand ever. But the car/wand keeps changing hands and ironically brings bad luck to whoever owns it.
I agree with the third theory, but the point is splitted like puzzles around. The legendary racer when left palmont city was with his Toyota Supra, and then comes back with M3 GTR. He would have come to search for the broken car to be repaired, but he already has Audi Le Mans Quattro. And when Darius left, he had a car of his own that goes as fast as it could, so he probably left the city. While the car was just left there untouched. If you see the cutsene carefully during the cross chase, you will see that the car did totaalled, but hardly damaged, he did save himself and the car by taking a massive drift and then applied a hard break in front of cross with no route to escape. He had no other option then to run because he thinks that no use of the car then himself. And there is a cutscene where darius gives an entry and helps the legendary racer, but when Nikki took him to choose one of a car to use, then BMW M3 GTR was no longer seen or heard and the messaged told was that it was totalled. What was the condition of the car no one knows, it was left to be taken over by any other racer as scrap till it was finally sold for a very high price. Audi Le Mans Quattro has a very good speed, plus he already conquered back the reputation and the lost money, so he only taught about the new car owned, reputation and his girlfriend who he had to leave and go.
Matt Armstrong clearly got his dirty hands on it, did some witchcraft and resurrected a perfect car as usual
I wish the creators of NFS would bring the story of Razor back to Nfs
he comes back th-cam.com/video/zWKMcNkA1tc/w-d-xo.html
We couldve got it if EA didn't screw up we had a NFS MW 2 in the making by criterion games but EA rushed it and we got a burnout clone out of it.
damn NFSMW made me remember when im trying so hard to win the blacklist when i was still a kid in pre-school
When you have E46 on your side everything becomes clear
That GTR is any 90’s kids dream car
I thought the M3 came from Bayview sometime after the Underground 2 story and before the Most Wanted story and player moved to Rockport.
Rog said in the beginning of the game "well look what the underground let loose. "Lets see how good you do in the daylight"
NFS World background music, love it!
In Unbound, the M3 shows up again. And according to Yaz, the story is that some guy got out of prison, and the first thing he wanted was that car. No names were dropped, but the protag of Unbound says something like "I feel we're on the razor's edge by doing all these deliveries."
Yes I know. I mentioned that in the pinned comment.
Race cars have special metal cage inside so for sure it wasn't totaled completely, ruff was for sure crashed, dpoiler, trank etc but possibly to restore even back then
In NFS heat cutscene where the player and Ana find out the warehouse and infiltrates it, you can also see it with rusty paint and completely broken bodywork with faint trace of Piantjob of this icon on the ramp truck.
If I remember correctly If you listen to the announcer in Pro Street he says there's a blue car parked outside that's going to get towed away and the license plate says NFS CARBON. So Ryan Cooper abandoned the Supra and won prize money after Pro Street then bought/built the BMW then headed to Rockport.
I loved this video really nice story telling there is something i always wonderd i Never had an awsner to it nobody evertalked about it on youtube etc when most wanted came out in the intro we see a yellowish corvette undercover cop car there is so many mysterie about the car why was it in the trailer why did we see it why wasnt it in the game it mindfucks me everyday could you make a video about it and solve my mysterie .thx for the great content .sorry for my bad english
The yellow Corvette was what Cross's Corvette was originally going to look like. But it got changed later in developement.
@@still_guns thx bro mysterie solved
On PC version have black and white, on console version black and yellow.
Anyway i just miss one part from MW, they impound your car, why not transform it for police car? 🙂
I say after the car was so called totaled in carbon it was then when mercer impounded it and cept it since untill know in heat when he was on heat level and tried escaping with the m3 GTR but was taken out by another street racer
But im glad the car is back cuase it was the car that made need for speed famous and its still my all time fav car ever !
i think what would be a fitting end to m3GTR story would be if in the end credit they showed player masked getting the car back and for a final race to end the m3 story
Nfs mostly got famous by this legendary m3 gtr. The car made the story so much interesting in 2005 game. Even tho there are a lot of iconic cars in nfs this is the legend of all
It even has the old style hud
What do you mean?
I think this is where the need for speed developers need to make a movie explaining what happened to the legendary BMW M3 GTR or just come up clean and tell us what happened. As for me if the need for speed doesn't have cops its not worth playing and if it doesnt have the Iconic car its not worth playing. Thumbs up for these guys for introducing us to our childhood Legend
i like to think the MW/Carbon player found the car after the events of Carbon and decided to take on the task of restoring it. of couse the origonal P60B40 that was in it couldn't have been fixed for replaced concidering it was a race engine only and you can't just buy parts for it or get a new long block so he got a M62/S62 V8 and modified it to be as close as possible(this explaines the red line and performance differeance between heat and MW/Carbon). After leaving Palmont city he traveled the country trying to find the same level of street racing he was used to in Palmont and Rock port and ended up in Palm city 18 years later when the Police had stopped activly looking for him. he would be eventually caught in a similer way to anna and arrested and thrown in jail for all his past chrims and the car "impounded" by the police untill Mercer would take the car and try and ecape in it thinking the car was what it was back in 2005 just to fins out it isn't as fast as it once was the hard way.
In one of the cutscenes when you discover the garage full of cars the m3 can be seen above of a truck full of dust dirt and crashed
My theory is the M3 GTR wasn’t really totalled. it was totalled for that time, but after that years it was possible to repair it, but it could be Cross, who took the M3 GTR. BCS Cross was real Bounty Hunter for that car, so he could take it to Rockport City to show the broken M3 GTR in hope getting his police job again.
Probably something like the player restored the GTR , using a E46 regular chassi but installing every part from the GTR , because if you see in the boot of the new GTR, it has the M3 logo that the original didnt have , in my thinking , then the player grabed the car and travel to Palm city and was busted
Wait, I thought that every game since Need For Speed 2015 is set in a different universe from previous games
Sgt. Cross from NFSMW makes a cameo in Payback, even says he would will go back to Rockport.
@@still_guns I am aware of that, it doesn't mean that it's the same universe, also cause this Cross is probably still a cop since no Most Wanted Player was around probably.
Also, in Payback Wolf from Carbon makes an indirect cameo too and also Eddie and Melissa in NFS2015, it still makes my point valid if not more, since apparently no "main player" was around this time
MW2012 is the answer.
The M3 GTR seemingly must have been restored, and resprayed, then exported to palm city, resprayed again, and then impounded by the police years later.
And then there's the exporting to another area, and there's only one area in the same universe with no laws.
Paradise City.
Mercer is the mostwanted he repaired it they didnt show his face because if we see him we coult now that MERCER İS MOST WANTED. (And in carbon we see his eyes that same as mercer
You're both wrong.
If Mercer was the most wanted, he would never have been able to become a cop.
And whilst there's never been anything saying that Ryan Cooper isn't the most wanted, there's also never been anything saying he is. There's pulling at straws, then there's pulling shit outta your ass.
I’m thinking it could be a mix of all three theories in the video.
Darius lied to the most wanted that the m3 was a complete wreck
The most wanted believed Darius and got the salvage value money for the m3
The m3 was crushed but it was still able to work
Darius had someone fix the car (as much as it was able to be fixed)as a backup in case he lost his Leman’s Quattro
When he was beaten by the most wanted he had someone appraise the car and got a value that was able to help him recover financially
Darius told the person that appraised the car to not let the most wanted find out it was repaired and to sell it on the black market
Over time the m3 was able to be fixed little by little until it was repaired completely
When the m3 was repaired, it landed in the hands of Frank Mercer as he was making arrangements to have many cars sold overseas
That’s my thoughts on what might’ve happened but I could be wrong on a few things
I would honestly love for this car to go back to its original owner. The player in NFSMW and Carbon. The man who single-handedly brought down the entire Blacklist to get his car back and become the Most Wanted street racer in all of United States.
Im suprised no one noticed this.
After the event of Carbon the M3 GTR has lost something. And Its the *Gear whining sound* just listen to it in heat the Gear whining sound were small. If you remember in MW And Carbon the gear whining sound almost dominated 70% of the car sound while heat its only 20% which mean they do something on the transmission when fixing this car.
It was given to you as a gift in Need for Speed No Limits by the driver in NFS MW/Carbon.
after reading the most watnted book, there is a line that Cross restore this beauti, cuz i we all remember Cross helped us during Carbon. So who know's mayby Cross was the guy who really restore the M3.
Hoping ea make another nfs on the history of m3 gtr about what happened to it after carbon and another nfs game that the most wanted came back to street to get his car back after 13 years!
The gear whine sounded different in heat is my pet peeve
thank you for putting NFS most wanted 2012 menu music 10 minutes in
wtf dude... its from already dead NFS World....
@@ivarinio100 ?
Now I tell you what exactly happen the BMW M3 GTR when it was totaled by cross the car was sent to scrapyard and about 15 years it was just an accidental and abandoned vehicle. Because if someone was using player car for all these years he might change its number plate but still it has got same 2005 rockport nfs MW plate so its mean the car was abandoned for 14 years. Nobody uses this car since 2006 after NFS Carbon
Cool video. One thing I would have liked to see you talk more about is the fake M3 GTR's. Like how Undercover has an E46. MW 2012 has one, I forget if it's an E46 or a GTR. NFS 2015 has one. Payback has one. But you said each of the non-E46's had something off. Which things? Also, if the car was restored from being totaled, it is possible it had different rims for a time until the real rims were found to be put back on.
I’m just hoping criterion explains why the Frick it re-emerged
The M3 GTR in NFS Universe is like the Devil Z in Wangan Midnight nobody knows the things that happened on the car
This is why m3 gtr is my favorite car. and i love him so much! and his engine is really ironic!
i think that in carbon when cross got a hold of player darius paid his bounty and of course darius was rich to do so but after he took the m3 gtr and sold it to get the money back that he used to pay the bounty
In NFS MW 2005 the player is the most wanted in the USA so if Darius made his way to Palm City with the repaired M3 after being beaten and without reputation it makes sense that maybe after some races the car was identified by the police of Palm City and got caught but they didn't report it so Mercer just decided to keep it as a personal collection and he noticed that he could do that over again with other racers without consequences, but how at the end of NFS Heat we just keep the M3 for ourselves?
We just took it like nothing else? A little gift from Torres maybe? So many questions for the most wanted/iconic car ever.
the nfs world garage music always puts me in my feelings bruh
My theory: The car was not totalled but heavily damaged.
Darius repaired it but then sold it to recover his losses for bribing cross
In one of deleted scenes in nfs carbon cross actually reverses on the players m3 gtr completely totaling it
I just built my own BMW M3 GTR and now it's my car now
I think it’s really sad how someone originally built this car with love and passion and it’s now passed so many hands down the years, should of stayed with the maker
Should *have*
From the point of view of an insurance, a totaled car isn't always destroyed. Sometimes, the amount of money to repair the car exceeds the estimated value of it.
Knowing this, I figured that the player (aka "most wanted driver") declared the M3 as 'totaled', because 1) he agreed with Darius that it would be better to 'start anew' in order to not stir up too much dust in the beginning and 2) because Darius wanted security for the money he spent on paying out Cross.
In the end, the 'kid' left the car with Darius as he figured that this car was too hot to drive around in for him - probably not every bounty hunter got the memory that the MW had been bought out.
Darius kept the beemer for a while, restoring the car.
A few years later, he would sell the M3 to Cross, who lost his trusty Corvette in a nasty run-in with Razor, involving a reinforced semi truck.
Cross had made himself reknown as a specialist in taking down fast fugitive offenders before that.
In this role, he ends up in Palm City, around 2018, chasing after a race car thief that is wanted in several states. Little does he know that this last job he took before retiring would cause him that much grief. Instead of catching the thief, he gets arrested for illegal street racing and his beloved M3 impounded. It takes quite a bit of the money he saved for his retirement to bail him out, but he can't get his car back, as it is said to be crushed. He is contacted by some people who suspect there is something afoul with Mercer and his street racing policy. They are looking for a driver that could get into the system for them, as they all are known to Mercer. Cross remembers the - as far as he knows - original owner of his M3. YOU. The only one that ever managed to elude him.
My first nfs game was either hot pursuit 2 or underground 1.
Both great games.
Canonically the player from Carbon at the very least went to Bayview and the events of underground 2 happened before he reach Rockport. This is confirmed from a few different interactions with Rog
No he didn't go to Bayview, and no, Rog did not confirm anything.
@still_guns so Rog talking about how you came out of the underground and that Bayview people are interested in the outcomes of your races is just nothing?
The underground line is referring to the person playing the game, as they had likely spent the last two years playing the Underground games which were based at night. In universe, the line refers more to Palmont, as racing there was also held at night.
"People as far as Bayview" is referring to how big an event the showdown with Razor is. It confirms nothing.
What if the Collector from Payback is behind it
nah couldnt be the house is pretty much dismantled
Here’s my theory: sence I n payback you get the bmw after you beat the game as an event, also it says it was a gift from an old friend, but when you do get it. The cops ambush you. And my question is, how did the cops know you would be there? So now I think that razor has gone rouge and became that cop you chased out of the docks in heat...
But that’s just a theory, a game theory
god i hate payback
@@theonlyplain its not bad, but the physics are shitty and theres no cops at all
I’m pretty sure the most wanted m3 was a rep of the gtr because I’m %99 sure that the gtr came out before they made the LCI tail lights, the seats aren’t the seats from a m3 gtr and the engine sound and redline are different from the gtr, the in game cars sound like they have the s54 in them but the m3 gtr has a v8 and the s54 is a straight 6
Going along with how the player (Ryan Cooper) acquired the car, it's most likely stolen.
Assuming he wasn't able to earn much cash after leaving Palmont, and was most likely flat out broke.
The car is a flat out race car, and not the limited run street legal model, so he most likely stole it at either some sort of show event, or even at a race track, as to how he did it? I cannot explain.
It's not Ryan in the storyline. EA had no clue who the player is. We don't know who.
@@ralphlorenzperolino3054 Yeah, fair enough.
But Ryan really does slot in nicely as the protagonist for most of those games.
