2012 BMW M3 CRT Lightweight Sedan Front View
This car is not called M3, a large CRT power if so come to the things that make it lighter than the standard M3 sedan. To qualify for the new manufacturing process developed for carbon-intensive I3 and I8 BMW models to come in 2013, the M3, the CRT has a hood, which consists of two plates of carbon fiber that binds the composite honeycomb Aramid for added stiffness.

As a result, is the strength of conventional steel hood with only one quarter of the weight. Compared to the normal M3 is a piece of aluminum, the weight has been halved. Inside, the front seats use the same process, which is why they get the same weight savings. The result is a car that weighs only 3483 kg, despite standard equipment which includes a dual-clutch transmission, navigation, high-end audio system BMW Individual, and parking sensors. BMW says that although the official weight savings of 100 pounds, if all these devices is considered, the actual savings of more than 150 pounds.
And alongside the vehicle and horses had been added, the cuts are a good ratio of 7.7 pounds per pony ride, the full update of about a pound more than the normal M3 sedan. M3 GTS-overs are still behind the 19-inch lightweight wheels of each car (wearing 245/35 rubber in front and 265/35 rear), with a set of more rigid cradles individually adjustable shock absorbers. The six-piston front brakes, also of GTS, the use of calipers made of special lightweight composite construction and, on behalf of a consistent pedal feel, brake lines stainless steel have been installed.
So far we have seen the car driving around the Nürburgring in the blue paint, but its official debut, now it is worn frozen (word for BMW matte) silver metallic paint with red brick accents on the kidneys grille, spoilers, and side slits. The interior continues the theme of red, thankfully shaded by many samples of black leather and aluminum trim, both in a model carbon fiber woven. Each car gets a numbered plaque and most of the reinforced rear seats, we have seen since the old Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16V. It looks almost as if the outer seats have been hollowed out and the red leather was glued into the holes.
You probably read all this knowing that there must be some disappointing news somewhere. Here it is: The M3 CRT is limited to only 67 units, and no one will do in the United States. According to BMW USA will be questions like these revolutionary front seats that lack air bags, do not fly here. Due to the extremely low production volume, it is simply easier to let our market out of the mix, but give him special treatment. We will try to be more upset, but let's be honest: we all saw coming.
