Say you have the option to buy M3 GTS but it is just as expensive as a GT3.

We know the price of the M3 GTS is almost double the price of standard M3. Is low GTS build 99 pieces more important that you choose it over a GT3

Would you buy the GTS or do you rather go for a GT3 Clubsport. And why.

If i was very rich i would choose the Porsche GT3 CS.

However, i am not very rich so would choose the M3 GTS - when it is over 3 years old and worth almost half of what it originally cost...

id go for the GTS due to shear bloody mindedness.Its not worth the same as the porsche but it will hold its value better

You really think the GTS will hold value?

Look at the CSL in the beginning it depriciates like crazy. Now the prices are staying the same.

I am going to go against the trend here and vote the GT3.

As much as I like the M3 GTS, at the end of the day it is still not in the same league or spirit as the GT3 (997-2 I am talking about here).

Value holding wise .. at least for NZ .. the GT3s hold their values loads better than any incarnation of the M3 (bar perhaps the E30 Sport Evo .. but then you only ever get a hand full of buyers that will pay for one) ...

The GT3 will be easier to move in the future in my opinion (most probably due to it not being in Orange

)

I am certainly no GTS fan from the outset as it looks like a pile of a/m parts but it's power to weight will be up there next to the 7rs and with only 100 it will be hugely rare

We all know what a normal m3 costs. Somehow i can t see the high price of the GTS. If you count all the things mounted to the GTS it s never gonna get as high as the asking price.

The price of GTS is also gone higher it s 115k ex VAT something like 138.000 euro incl VAT.

If there are only 99 pieces who cares if you use the car where it s build for.

The Price of a GT3 somehow i justify more.

I'm also going to go against the grain on this thread, I would buy neither, I'd keep my CSL and put the money into a house!
