Aren't the BMW M3's GT2 cars not GT3?
There are no GT3 class BMW M3s. However there were a few factory built V8 powered M3 GTR built for what was once known as the GT class for ALMS which is now known as GT2, this is back in the early 2000s. However again there were a number of M3 GTR replicas built by privateers powered by various engines. These M3 GTR both factory and private appeared in VLN and various other endurance races and continue to do so however without knowing who built the car its difficult to know if the M3 is one of the genuine GT racecars.
