    Fun fact about the "Straßenwagenversion": Although they produced 10 road legal versions, only 7 can be driven on German roads. A rich woman (my theory: Susanne Klatten) bought 2 road legal cars as an investment but never registered them in Germany. The cars gained astronomical values but she can't register those cars in Germany for road legal use since the laws for safety and emissions standards got stricter, thus it would fail today's requirements. Those cars are basically worthless in Germany except she could ship them to countries like Saudi Arabia, where it might be possible to legally drive those cars. I'm not sure, what happened to the 3rd car, but this is what I heard from my guide when we went to BMW Classic.

    It's a shame it wasn't widely sold, perhaps porsche hadn't been so vehement with banning the M3, maybe they would've produced and sold a few more. Thankfully we got the E9x M3 afterwards which came with a V8 as an answer for the GT2 regulations.

    Great video as usual !
    One thing to point out though is that the street version E46 M3 GTR carried very little parts from the standard E46 M3. They shared door skins and tail lights. Any thing else was E46 M3 GTR exclusive like bumpers, headlights with lighter covers, CF hood, flat underbody and the even lighter roof and trunk lid skins contributed to the "Unobtanium" status it had.

    Edit: It was really hard to place the original engine noise to be fair. Couldn't quite put a determination on what it actually sounded like. Definitely wasn't the P60 though lol

      The race cars had centre lock magnesium BBS wheels that I don't think you could've bought at the time if you weren't BMW anyway. Even if you could they would be anything but cheap and nigh impossible to produce at production car scales. Plus that would've necessitated centre lock hubs for the street version which would've meant using the race car brake discs and calipers minimum with a one off master cylinder and biasing valve because you can't use racecar esque dual master cylinder setups on street cars.

    There is a myth I love to believe, that BMW Motorsport has a EXACT Replica of NFS MW M3, with the same livery, in its Race-Spec in the Garage. And that it is still racing someday or another on Nürnburg Ring time to time.

    and so many tried to replicate the MW05 GTR and always... always chose the wrong damn bodykit. The proper kit is the wider version of the Strassenversion, not a later iteration. Hence the black version has the Strassenversion included.
    Andres iteration was probably the worst out of all. Theo (Blackpanthaa) might be able to pull it off, despite using a regular 3 series coupe and not an M3. At least the kit he chose looks actually the closest (for beeing a replica kit, the real Racing kits from BMW are biiiiiiiiiiiiiig ticket items). All other appearances in latter NFS games are just mere "wannabe kit-cars", not the proper deal and should never be accounted for.
    Why do people care about the headlight washers so much for example? Using the halogen headlights saves weight over using Xenons and their ballasts. And afaik xenons werent even an option for the '99 MY of the E46, which the MW05 GTR is based off of.

      This was Porsche's move. The E46 chassis was ultimately pulled because of the stipulations that the P60 wasn't a fair move to race with and an S54 based platform would never see 24hrs. Things got legal and Porsche spent $12M making sure the GTR stayed in its grave.

      Yes the GTR was extremely capable and Porsche knew it from the beginning. The move to ban it was politically infused and heavily incentivized. It's considered one of the worst moves in sportsmanship of that time. I only know this because I work for BMW.

    BMW has made some great engines. I am no fan of their cars. They should rehire all of the Karmen people and resurect that business and let them build cars designed by Italian companies using thier better drivetrains. No linguine rod bearing engines need apply here. Just imagine what a beautiful machine they would have!
