On the BMW M3 GTR road car, should the front bumper be so far out as it is (from lights/grille to edge)? - Sorry if that didn't make sense!

How do you take photos in motion? I want to take photos to my BMW M5... :)
Just go to any of the tracks on the main page like "world circuits" , "power and speed", " Original circuits", or "Dirt and snow". Then select "Photo drive". Drive for a few seconds or a whole lap. When finished exit and watch the replay. While watching it hit select at any time and you are there. 👍
You can also do it during races if you save your replays then view them later in "replay theater".

Mcoupe = poor track car. they are relatively heavy compared to the M3, you would think thier chassis would be stiffer because of the design but its really bulky and that hatch back design gave it a higher center of gravity than the E36 M3, the ultimate track car would be a E30 M3 with an S52, or S54 the engine thats in the Mcoupe which is one of the 3.2liter versions of the S50 engine which was in the early M3's the 99 M3's had OBDII and the S52 which was the 3.2liter version of the S50 that went into the M3. The M3 LTW was a really nice track car but they are rare and expensive. The Mcoupe was built off the Z3 chassis which was heavier than the M3.

The Mcoupe used the S52 and S54, the S54 which is the engine in the current M3. The S54 was in the Mcoupe in its final year of production in 2001. The S54 used by the E46 M3 the current M3 really made the M coupe quick, sadly in GT4 the mcoupes all have S52's rather than the S54 :(

If you want a track car E30 M3 would be your best bet, but the S14 engine is very expensive and it would be cheaper in the long run to drop either an S50,2, or 4 in it. There would be not fitmet issues as the E30 M3 has the Same tub as an E30 325 and the 325i and e both had a 6cylinder in them the M20 a 2.5liter inline six. so fitting a S52 in to it would be no problem and people do it somewhat often now. Plus with the money you can get for selling a strong running S14 engine you can buy an E36 Drivetrain. that S14 is very valueble to some racers as in upwards of 8k. which is plenty to buy a S52 and a trans. No car you can buy for under 100,000 will handle better than an E30 M3, no not even a z06, except that 400hp would make it appear faster but in extremely tigh corners it still wouldnt take it. but it lacks that extra 200hp to really be a superior car. so yes a z06 would be better but the m3 isnt so ugly and its cheaper
