An E46 GTR came to life in February 2001, powered by the P60B40 a 3,997 cc V8 producing 493 hp (368 kW; 500 PS). Unlike the straight-six powered M3 versions, which were outpaced by the Porsche 996 GT3, the racing version of the E46 M3 GTR 16, entered by Schnitzer Motorsport, was very successful in the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) with BMW factory driver Jörg Müller securing the 2001 GT title .
Rivals such as Porsche pointed out that this car was more of a prototype as no V8 engine was available in the road-going BMW E46, which is in violation of the spirit of Gran Turismo. In 2001, ALMS regulations stated that cars must be for sale on two continents within twelve months of the rules being issued. To fulfill this rule, BMW put 10 road going GTRs on sale after the 2001 season, for €250,000 each.
The ALMS rules were altered for 2002 to state that 100 cars and 1,000 engines must be built for the car to qualify without penalties. Although BMW could have raced the V8 with the new weight and power penalties under these new regulations, they chose to pull out of the ALMS, effectively ending the short-lived M3 GTR's career.
Two Schnitzer Motorsport M3 GTR cars saw a comeback in 2003 at the 24 Hours Nürburgring, winning 1–2 in 2004 and 2005, as well as entries in the 24 Hours Spa. Onboard coverage recorded in 2004 Hans-Joachim Stuck, Pedro Lamy, Jörg Müller and Dirk Müller on the Nürburgring and Spa-Francorchamps.
Private teams (Scheid, Getrag, etc.) also have fit 3,997 cc BMW V8 engines into the E46 body to race on the Nürburgring, winning some VLN races in the last years.
In November 2003, Australian race team Prancing Horse Racing Scuderia imported an E36 M3 GTR from America as a replacement for their Ferrari 360 N-GT to race in the 2003 Bathurst 24 Hour race at the famous Mount Panorama Circuit with plans to keep the car in Australia to race in the 2004 Australian Nations Cup Championship for GT style cars. The GTR, powered by an almost stock 5.0 litre BMW N62 V8 engine, arrived in Australia only a week before the Bathurst 24 Hour race and after a rushed preparation, multiple Australian championship winning driver John Bowe qualified the car in 3rd place. After running easily in the top 5 for the first few hours of the race, the car suffered its first problem when a tail shaft broke. The car was eventually retired after 131 laps with damage after a clash with the race winning Holden Monaro 427C of Peter Brock. Ultimately PHR Scuderia did not compete in the Nations Cup Championship in 2004 with the Bathurst 24 Hour being its only race in the country.
The M3 GTR is widely known as the player's car in Need for Speed: Most Wanted and Carbon with a royal blue livery.
