These figures are due to the fact that RS Racingteam has ensured that the tuned M3 is also 190 kgs lighter than its factory version. RS Racingteam has also added a few other performance features to BMW M3. These include a full rollcage, front sports bucket seats and a 6 point harness. RS Racingteam has also ensured that stopping power is enhanced due to fitment of new racing brake pads and steel flex brake lines. The vehicle now sits on 19” ATS Superlight forged wheels and 10 way adjustable Bilstein suspension system.

BMW M3 comes in three options. The regular model is available for €80,000 ($106,800 or INR 76.36 lakhs) with performance enhancement while the racecar version is priced at €110,000 ($147,000 or INR 78.66 lakhs).
