There's no word on how many pounds the M division stripped from the sedan and U.S. availability, but we should have all the details when the big 'Ring race happens this June. And no, this isn't an April Fools joke.
GTS wheels are not exactly light. The splitter is different than the GTS unit.

Looks like a stock exhaust?


Finally REAL brakes.

More info at the //M Festival in June.

I really like the way this looks, I saw a lightweight e36 on the highway yesterday, glad they didn't decide to go with the giant spoiler on any models forwards haha.

But still with the crappy BMW rotors.
It's still an upgrade for sure. Hopefully it'll have some ducts too.
