No offense, but you don't really 'get' this car and who it's designed for. But then again, you drive a 1M so I wouldn't expect you to understand anyways. You sound like one of those guys that spends hours trying to convince others the 1M is just as good as an M3. lol
The steel synchros, titanium 'race' exhaust, 4 wheel drive level of grip in first gear, bucket seats, torque right up to redline, telepathic steering, communicative brakes.... I don't know where to begin. The GT3 RS is on another level of excitement. And no, you're not supposed to drive this car to work.
I should write up my own review that isn't self-serving and post it on here for anyone that's actually serious about a GT3. For anyone reading, please drive a GT3 at least once in your life, you'll never forget it. Lame review, you sound like an advertisement for BMW, and just fulfilling your own ego. You do realize true driving enthusiasts consider this the ultimate driver's car, right? You missed something along the way when you drove these cars.

Well part of what you say is definitely true. I own a 2013 M3. I will agree the GT3 is the ultimate "drivers" car. I actually tried to buy a 2012 Porsche GTS but had not sold my previous car at the time. By the time I sold it the Porsche GTS was gone so I settled for a new M3 since I could not afford a GT3. I will say the Porsche GTS was the best car I had ever driven. The steering on the M3 and the GTS are almost the same. Not handling of course but turn in is very close. I really regret not being able to get the GTS but I love my M3. If I could get rid of 250 lbs on it, would be unreal. You mentioned everyone should test drive a GT3 before they die. Well that's easier said than done. Living in LA is almost impossible to drive one. There are plenty for sale but even if you go look at one that's in the AutoTrader, the seller wont let you drive it. You need a act of god for a dealer to let you drive one. At least here in LA. Driving a GT3 RS is only a dream although I've seen my share at cars n coffee. I'm always eager to listen to people who GT3's because I would love to have one. I would like to hear your assessment although it may not go over well on a BMW forum.
