Need for Speed BMW M3 GTR - a dream become reality!
When 'Need for Speed: Most Wanted' was launched in 2005, video game lovers went crazy for it. Out of the many reasons behind the game's popularity, was the silver-blue BMW M3 GTR (E46) that was driven by the main character. That fantastic-looking E46 M3 is now a reality. As the Need for Speed legacy continues, EA Sports, the genius behind the NFS video game, has collaborated with BMW to create a one-of-kind M3 GTR. This special car has been created to debut in the upcoming volume 9 update of the Need for Speed Unbound video game.
Certainly, this special BMW M3 GTR by EA Sports has all the cosmetic and performance parts carried over from the Most Wanted BMW M3 GTR. The special blue and silver livery on the outside is matched to the low stance of the car. It also has special alloy wheels, exactly like the ones we saw in the video game. Additionally, BMW ensured that a big wing was fixed on its boot to make it look aesthetically similar to the car in the video game. The brushed aluminum exhaust tips also add to the video game's similarity to its rear design.
This special BMW M3 GTR also features different interiors. Some highlights of the changes include a brushed aluminum manual gear lever, carbon fiber panels, race seats, a racing dashboard, a racing steering wheel, and more. With all these sporty elements, this special E46 M3 GTR celebrates the 30th anniversary of the NFS video game series.

Our verdict
Need for Speed is by far one of the most successful and popular racing video games ever made. However, out of the multiple chapters, it was the Most Wanted that became legendary. Even EA Sports knows that recreating its success is difficult. Hence, the comeback of the faded memories is welcomed by the new collaboration car. It looks great and we wish we could drive one but sadly it won't be possible for any of us. Tell us in the comments what you think about the NFS BMW M3 GTR car.
