The BMW M3 GT2 (E92) is a GT2 racecar based on the BMW M3 (E92).

Overview[]

BMW Motorsport announced in February 2008 that Rahal Letterman Racing will campaign two factory-backed E92 M3s in the American Le Mans Series in 2009, following a two-year absence by the brand. The cars are homologated for the GT2 category. This was the cover car for the simulation racing game Need for Speed: Shift. Schnitzer Motorsport entered 2 cars at the 1000 km of Spa and finished 4th after a move by the Ferrari in the final corner. For 2010, BMW Motorsport has been granted entry in the 2010 24 Hours of Le Mans and in the 2010 24 Hours Nürburgring. BMW Motorsport/Schnitzer Motorsport went onto to take an overall win at the 24 Hours Nürburgring with the #25 M3 GT2 of Jörg Müller, Augusto Farfus, Pedro Lamy, and Uwe Alzen while the top competitors from Porsche and Audi dropped out one by one. In addition, one of the M3 GT2's that competed at Le Mans (#79) has been chosen as the 17th BMW Art Car, which will be done by American artist, Jeff Koons. At the 2010 24 Hours of Spa, BMW qualified 1st in class (2nd overall) and maintained 1st with the #79 car throughout the race until it succumbed to a suspension failure with just half an hour remaining, forcing them to give the overall lead to two Porsche 997 GT3-RSRs. The M3s still came 1st in the GTN class. The BMW M3s won the GT2 category in the ILMC 1000 km of Zhuhai. In 2011, the BMW achieved a 1-2 finish in the 12 Hours of Sebring. In the 2011 American Le Mans Series GT class, BMW Team RLL swept all categories, winning the GT manufacturer, team and driver championships. They contest another year in the ALMS GT class, coming off of another fantastic win at the 2012 60th running of the 12 Hours of Sebring. The M3 GT2 was succeeded by the BMW Z4 GTE, an LMGTE specification racing car alongside the Group GT3 spec BMW Z4 GT3. The Z4 GTE started racing at the 2013 12 Hours of Sebring.

As an early Tier 5 car, the The M3 GT2 rivals the Nissan GT-R and Cadillac CTS-V Coupe Race Car. It has limited performance; it has fair launch acceleration, good acceleration, good handling, sharp drifting radius and okay nitro efficiency. Those performance traits makes the M3 GT2 easy to drive and maintain top speed. However, it is greatly held back by its low total speed, among the lowest in Tier 5, which it hits easily even at stock.

While the M3 GT2 can be a useful car early on in Career Mode, in that its performance is a meaningful upgrade to the Nissan GT-R, its total speed is still too low to give a fight to any car unlocked later on. The M3 GT2 also has no place in Multiplayer, as being a low Tier 5 car, it is too slow to compete with any dominant Tier 4 or Tier 5 car it is forced to compete with, such as the Renault Alpine A110-50 or the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Spyder Performante.
