BMW M3 GTR

The BMW M3 GTR is possibly the most iconic car in the Need for Speed series. It appears in Carbon after the events of Most Wanted.

Performance
The BMW M3 GTR has good launch, although the acceleration is slow, and brilliant handling which is comparable to that of Tier 3 tuners, but the top speed is low. It is good for races with a moderate amount of straights with a few tight turns. It's main competition is the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and most Tier 3 exotics.

Career
At the start of the Career mode, the player is arriving in Palmont, using the canyon route Lookout Point. Suddenly, Cross arrives behind the player, and starts chasing them. They must then drive down Lookout Point and escape from Cross.

However, there is a construction zone, which ultimately stops the player from escaping. He crashes into a truck carrying steel pipes, parked across the road. The pipes rolls over the player's car, totalling it.

The BMW is taken away, and is never to be seen or driven in Career Mode again. However, if the player changed the BMW's IsCustomizable in Frontend using NFS-Vlt-Ed from False to True, the player can purchase it in the Car Lot with a purchase price of $300,000. The player can also make the BMW M3 GTR a starter car by changing one of the default_car entries in fe_global to bmwm3gtre46 using NFS VLT-Ed, however, the IsCustomizable needs to be set to true or the game will crash.

Customization
The BMW M3 GTR has limited and bugged customization due to EA slightly rushing the game, therefore not being able to make the M3 GTR customizable. The player cannot apply any vinyls to the M3 GTR without using any mod that makes the M3 GTR’s stock vinyl removable/changes the stock color to red.

Once the player goes to the Autosculpt section, the Front Bumper option is missing, scrolling to rear bumper will crash the player’s game. Also, installing a spoiler will overlap it with the stock spoiler, and roof scoops do not work.

However, a mod to fix the M3 GTR’s issues was released, that adds a yellow headlight option, and 8 custom hoods, as well as fixing the roof scoop, spoiler and Autosculpt Crash issues.

The BMW M3 GTR is unlocked by completing a reward card. It is one of the hardest rewards to obtain in the game.
