M3 GTS in Hong Kong?!

I was driving past BMW's Wan Chai showroom and notice an orange M3. I was just driving by so I did'nt give it a close enough look. I wonder could that be the M3 GTS?! All the ads of the GTS show it in orange. Or is it just a regular M3 or coupe in orange colour? (But I'm not aware of the normal M3 or coupe offering the orange colour...I could be wrong on that through since I have a relatively old M3 brochure...which doesen't offer orange colour).

Of course, I probably would'nt be able to afford a GTS even if they offer it in HK, unlike you rich guys here, hahaha. But it's nice to know we have that option here once we reached the position to buy one.

I was tricked from afar when I was at harbour city 2 weeks ago.
I was like "this is impossible........hold on.......oh....that's just a M3"

BTW, I find the orange is not as sexy as the orange on the Porsche GT3 RS

that m3 is orange is kinda dull and light, Porsche GT3's is a bit darker!

Sigh...GTS sounds too good to be true, wish it were real through. I agree that orange colour needs work on the M3. Somehow it doesn't seem to suit the M3 real well, maybe it has to do with shading. The orange could work if BMW modifies the current colour.

I've seen an E93 M3 custom painted orange in kowloon.
It looks pretty attractive from afar.

Darn, why can't BMW bring their GTS here in HK?! Too small a market? Not enough demand? I so wish they could. Sigh...it seems that will only occur in my dreams.

I am pretty sure you can buy one from SPS.

Haha, I suppose, but a GTS would probably cost well over 2 million in Hong Kong dollars and as you cantonese say, I have "mow chin ah!",
