Re: NFS HEAT - Car List: BMW M3 GTR

@Tomss4 "SPOILERS!!! are in the video link below, i hope this video answers your question and the I have marked it as spoiler as you may not want to watch a video to find your answer." Here is a new video from BlackPanthaa https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2FHbRZ7pm4, it is gameplay of the cars sound. I don't want to spoil it / his conclusion.

This is the first time I have ever commented on this website. It all came from me trying to workout the differences between the Street and GTR version, from my research and understanding the "Street" variant is a V6 and the "GTR" variant is a V8, am I correct is saying that?

Just to clarify with the "Street" vs "Race" M3 GTR:

There is no E46 gen model with a V6 as far as I know. There's the BMW M3 E46 which has an inline-6, and then there's the "Street" GTR E46 which has the same V8 as the racecar, but it's a road legal variant of which only 10 were made! (This appeared as a quick race car in Most Wanted 2005 Black Edition)

As well as the M3 GTR E46 "Race" which is not road legal, has the V8 engine with straight cut/Dogtooth gears, and is the one we all know and love.

If you need more information NFS FANDOM is quite reliable, and provides some of the Le Man's context. There's even two separate pages, one for street and one for race.

@Jacobba55 Thanks man, I hadn't realised everyone was calling it a V6. Ur absolutely right. It was straight 6.
