Video: BMW M3 GT2 ALMS racecar

July 16th 2008 11:15
BMW M3 GT2 ALMS racecar


The introduction of the current generation E92 V8-powered M3 has given BMW an unrestricted entry ticket to the world of American Le Mans Series (ALMS) motorsport with the Bobby Rahal and David Letterman racing team unveiling a new racecar at the Chicago Auto Show in February this year.

Since then, we have heard very little about the 357 kW (485 hp) 4.0-litre V8 M3 racecar - until now. BMW Motorsport in conjunction with the Rahal Letterman racing team has released a video of the ALMS BMW M3 with some superb footage of the racecar on a track together with a road-going M3.





Looking supremely bad-ass in its aggressive widebody armour, the racecar will be rubbing shoulders fenders with the likes of Porsche and Ferrari in the GT2 series this upcoming season.

E92 BMW M3 Convertible


This cheeky television commercial featuring the all-new BMW M3 convertible pokes fun at the Mercedes-Benz SL roadster by making it plain obvious which one is more of a driver's car.




The first scene shows a man in his Merc-SL roadster driving casually with a gorgeous brunette sitting beside him before they eventually pull over at a romantic spot for a bit of night sky star gazing. Someone then hits the rewind button and the same chap - alone by himself - is now attacking the twisties in a BMW M3 convertible and reaches the same romantic spot before dusk.

Moral of the story TV advert? Impress the ladies in an SL but the real driver's car here is the M3!

Disagree? Leave your "SL is classier" and "that wasn't even an AMG version SL" comments below.
