The orange w&uuml;ndermobile was unveiled barely six months ago, complete with 450-horsepower V8, upgraded brakes, rolling stock, suspension and aero package and a stripped interior. But if that&#8217;s not enough to tickle your fancy, a few supposedly informed fanboys say that Munich is preparing to celebrate &#8211; and bid farewell to &#8211; the E92 M3 with an even fiercer derivative.<\/p>\n<p>Tentatively dubbed the M3 GTS-R, the ultimate 3 Series is expected to benefit from yet another power upgrade, plus more carbon fiber body panels &#8211; all decked in matte black &#8211; to further reduce weight and pack even wider wheel arches packing Y-shaped five-spoke rims and blending into fat side sills. There&#8217;s even word of a streetable implementation of the company&#8217;s F1-derived KERS regenerative braking system for push-to-pass boost. Sounds tasty; stay tuned for more. <em>Thanks for the tip, Barry!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/bmw-m3-gts\/low\/\">BMW M3 GTS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/bmw-m3-gts\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/bmwm3gts000_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/bmw-m3-gts\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/bmwm3gts001_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/bmw-m3-gts\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/bmwm3gts002_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/bmw-m3-gts\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/bmwm3gts003_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/bmw-m3-gts\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/bmwm3gts004_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.m3post.com\/forums\/showthread.php?t=386887\">M3Post<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/05\/18\/rumormill-bmw-preparing-even-hotter-m3-gts-r\/\">Rumormill: BMW preparing even hotter M3 GTS-R<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Tue, 18 May 2010 10:30:00 EST.
