This new hood is even 50 percent lighter than an aluminum hood. The 2012 BMW M3 CRT can be distinguished by an exclusive Frozen Polar Silver metallic exterior paint combined with Melbourne Red metallic applications and special treatment for the BMW kidney grille.





The interior of 2012 BMW M3 CRT gets an Alcantara-covered M steering wheel, featuring the M Drive button with spontaneous activation of the sharpest throttle response and M Dynamic Mode of DSC. The front and individual rear seats covered by special Sakhir Orange and Black bi-colour, while the exclusive door sill strips, door panels, and trim strips are made from an aluminum grain structure.
