2011 BMW M3 GTRS3 Candy Cane by Vorsteiner

California-based tuner Vorsteiner has just unveiled a new update to their BMW M3 GTRS3. Built on top of the BMW M3 Coupe, the GTRS3 M3 was the first of its kind in the Vorsteiner lineup when released in 20100. The GTRS3 Aero Package consists of complete splitter, extended front fenders, extended side skirts, rear quarter panel fender arch extensions, and a wide-stance rear bumper with integrated carbon diffuser. The new upgrade is dubbed “Candy Cane” because of its pure Alpine White exterior combined with striking red body parts, including red side mirrors, wheels, bonnet and…the BMW Roundel.
The lightweight titanium exhaust system and the new set of red V-309 Forged 5 Spoke wheels size 20″ combined with Michelin PS2 Sport Tires 285/25/20 325/25/20 complete the look.

To increase power output, Vorsteiner has created two different stages, but specifics have yet to be revealed. What we do know is that Stage II is ready to pump out up to 620 horsepower.
Here is a list of the M3 GTRS3 “Candy Cane” upgrades:

Yet Another Rumor: BMW M-One – The Supercar We Dream About

Ready for another rumor? The restless Scott27 stirs up more controversy on the interwebs. According to the BMW insider, the designers are toying with the idea of a new M supercar, a true successor to the iconic M1. “The strategy has just begun and where it is at is a few sketches by the design department and ideas conjured around a conference table. We have no production plans yet,” said the insider.

The supercar is currently dubbed M-One because it could be the first of its kind in the new generation of BMW vehicles.  Scott27 remains vague about other details, but the use of CFRP is mentioned, new materials and parts that BMW is expected to use in their upcoming vehicles.The M1 Hommage mention is present as always with new speculations around a BMW supercar.

The rumor says an internal design sketch was created, a mixture of Vision ConnectedDrive and the upcoming 2014, but the drawing serves an unknown purpose.
“The sketch was developed entirely for a different purpose. But the idea did catch attention and since BMW did not focus on the design angle for the Connected Drive concept car they were taken aback when reaction to the car was very well received. But since the sketch caught senior attention they have added a roof and a higher windscreen to judge reaction and you could see the return of the concept this time as a coupe.  But it could form the car/s in question because of its bloodline to the original and hommage of the M1.”

Fingers-crossed BMW would build the car, when would it hit the road? “If greenlit, it will be after 2015″, says the source.

Our advice, take this rumor with a big grain of salt. In the past years, there have been extensive conversations and internal projects around a BMW supercar, but the company’s sustainable plans seem to rely on efficiency and future mobility, rather than an Audi R8 fighter.
