BMW may have reserved its hardcore GTS badge for the M4 but one current M3 owner wanted in on the action and has finished work on a heavily customized M3 that takes inspiration from the M4 GTS.

As is often the case with projects like this, most of the modifications aim to improve the exterior and interior designs of the performance sedan and these changes start with an OEM hood straight from the GTS. Looking even more brutish than the standard hood, this addition suits the five-door perfectly and has been complemented by a GTS replica carbon fiber front lip.


Elsewhere, the car sits on a set of HRE R101 lightweight wheels measuring 20x10 up front and 20x12 at the rear and finished in gloss white. Putting white wheels on a white car isn't done very often but in this case, it works surprisingly well, at least to our eyes.


Further visual modifications includes painted brake calipers, a carbon fiber rear diffuser and decklid spoiler and a host of BMW Performance interior parts, including a new steering wheel, alcantara shift knob and boot, floor mats and armrest. There are also some minor performance upgrades, namely a new exhaust with 102 mm tips, ECU flash tune and BMC performance air filters.
