You may remember when we posted images and press information on the BMW M3 GTS which was basically a race-tuned version of the current E92 BMW M3. Well now BMW Motorsports has race-prepped the Z4 and turned it into a V8-powered Z4 GT3.

By the Numbers: Audi RS5 vs. BMW M3
I know that it can be rather premature to compare the E92 BMW M3 to the new Audi RS5 considering that no one has driven the new RS5. Can we be a little hypothetical here just for a minute? Okay, great. Let’s take the new E92 BMW M3 with all of its 414hp and 295 ft-lbs. of torque V8 glory and put it up against the new 2011 Audi RS5’s naturally aspirated 450hp and 317 ft-lbs. of torque 4.2-liter V8. What do you get? Obviously you get a much more powerful engine in the RS5. But that’s where I draw the line for the advantages of the RS5 over the current BMW M3.
