The story of the BMW M3 GTR claim to fame and where its been

So I have a massive story of how the Legendary BMW M3 GTR came to light and how it has been passed down from one driver to another. Also in terms of drivers from the games itself and not the original race driver from the 24 Hour of Le Mans, (We'll get to that in a second) there have been drivers (The Hero/Player from Most Wanted and Carbon, Razor and yes I know it's not Razor's, the Boss race from Most Wanted 2012, Player from Most Wanted 2012, the Player from No Limits, Possibly Lt. Mercer, and the Speedhunters Newcomer). All of the M3 GTRs told are canonical and all are the Race versions. Yes even the 2012 version is the real deal. Heat's version of the Race M3 GTR in terms of the V8 and straight cut gears are very similar to the 2012 version.

	So let's get on to the story.

	As we know, the BMW M3 GTR was originally introduced as BMW's race car in the 2000 American Le Mans GT Series to beat Porsche and their 996 GT3. And of course, won the 2001 American Le Man GT Series. When word got out of the GTR's winning streak, a certain street racer wanted to get his hands on this insane car. As we know, this is the Hero/Player.

	The Hero/Player was originally the Leader of his own crew back in 2003 in Palmont City. During a Crew Leader race in his Toyota Supra between Kenji, Wolf, and Angie, a wild band of Heat Level 3 police had come out to shutdown the race and arrest everybody attending the race. Somebody tipped off the cars and he barely escaped with a bag of random money. In a twist move, the bag that was switched with random papers when the police attacked the racers. He then ran from Palmont City to escape to Olympic City.

	Weeks later, the Supra starts acting up. The engine starts blowing out white smoke and he pulls over to the side of the road. He opens up the engine compartment and fire blows right in his face. He attempts to put out the fire with his jacket and the fire stops. He checks the issue and sees there is a hole in the 2JZ engine block. With no other choice, he leaves the Supra behind and the keys in the ignition and walks away from the trouble and never too be seen again.

	He walks to Olympic City with no taxis or cars to pick him up. With some notoriety from Palmont, he gets invited to some street races in Olympic. He then takes down Eddie and takes his car. Soon after, the Player gets a call from Samantha about the street scene in a city called Bayview. The Player soon after, gets T-Boned by some hitmen and escapes with his life, some cash and bails out of Olympic City and escapes from some thugs. Somebody clearly knows he's on his way to Bayview. He then hops on a plane to Bayview and gets Samantha to call someone in Bayview.

	He gets off the plane and speaks with Racheal and she lends her car to him. After a quite some time and completing events, the player meets Caleb and then beats him.

	Months later after taking down all the events in Bayview and Olympic City, he gets a call from an unknown source about a place called Rockport and a heavy police presence. So he gets a flashback of the M3 GTR and decides to grab himself a Race GTR. He planned on getting the street version but realized BMW had only developed 6 street legal versions and one of them was in a museum. Knowing that they could be anywhere and the easiest one to find was in museum (but it was in Germany), he decides to head to a race track where the BMW M3 GTR was set to be there.

	After awhile, he drives to the track in the day. When the driver of the M3 GTR settles down in the Pit, he sneaks his way to the back and gets inside the M3 GTR with it still on. The player drives away but the Police are called in and a heat level 3 pursuit kicks off. Track security chase 'em down with police called in immediately. He runs the police off the road and escapes. He finds an abandoned garage and hides out for a few months. The player then messes around with the car and makes it his own. The year is now 2005 and the iconic Most Wanted wrap is applied, inspired by his Toyota Supra, tweaks the performance of the car, and keeps it maintained. He remains hidden for months to come.

	He leaves his temporary home and heads off to Rockport and first arrives at the Point Camden Lighthouse entrance where he meets both Mia and Cross. Cross is the Sergeant of the RPD High Speed Task Force and because of a street race, he nearly arrests him. After coming across Ronnie in his Supra, he then meets Razor and the Blacklist. Razor tells him to Ef off and Bull challenges the Player to a race. The Player then meets Rog who's believed to had his Mustang stolen as he was seen driving a Mustang and he's now driving a Pontiac GTO. Razor then challenges the Player to a blacklist race where Razor cheats and has the GTR leak oil at the start line. The Player then gets arrested by Cross but is sentenced to only a few days in jail. Mia then bails you out and he starts his journey to become the Most Wanted driver in Rockport City. It's found out that Razor had upgraded the car to monstrous levels of performance and severely changed the car up. After taking down every single racer on the Blacklist, he faces Razor and beats him fair and square. It's then found out that Mia was an Undercover officer and takes down Razor. Mia throws the Player the keys and he escapes. The Player then engages in a Heat Level 6 pursuit and tries to last as long as possible. Mia then gives him a call and tells him to escape to the old broken bridge and with just enough speed, the Player escapes Rockport and never returns. He then just looks forward and never looks back. Cross has been fired from the RPD and a National Warrant is out for his arrest. He settles down and remains quiet, to never see the light again until the Heat quiets down long enough.

	It's now 2006, the Heat is down enough and he once again drives out. He then stumbles upon his old stomping grounds, Palmont City and enters through the Carbon Canyon entrance. He goes to meet his old crew but Cross is back but as a Bounty Hunter. Cross has tracked down the Player through rumors and sources leading him closer to finally taking down "The one who got away." Cross hunts down the Player and the M3 GTR meets it's demise. The GTR was totaled by the Player whom accidentally wrecked it in a precarious placed Semi truck holding large wooden logs at the bottom of the canyon. The logs then damage the engine and Cross blocks the players escape and attempts the collect the supposed $150,000 bounty. He then meets up with two of his old crew members Nikki and Darius who now have gone their own ways. The BMW M3 GTR is then hauled off on a Tow Truck to be sent off to a scrapyard. After word got out about the M3 in the scrapyard, a mysterious stranger sees the car. The car is next in line to be scrapped. He takes out some scrapyard employees and gets his pickup truck, hooks the car up to the bed, and places a tarp over the car. The car is then never seen again. Or so, the street race community thought.

	Years pass and the GTR is nowhere to be seen. Replicas have been created in honor of the most treasured car in the community and the last of the GTR's are scrapped with the only E46 GTR in existence to be in hiding and it's whereabouts are yet to be seen. Nobody knows the last GTR is still alive. Some replicas were even being sold as a GTR but with an inline six under the hood. An E92 was seen driving in The Run with the iconic paint job. In 2015 in Ventura Bay, a replica with the exact paint job but with some strange extra decals and completely different rims. In 2017 in Fortune Valley, a replica was found at a rest stop with the keys inside and someone named Tyler Morgan left a note saying, "Thanks for the donation.". It soon will appear once again.

	It's now 2012, the world is a whole other place, the world of tuners are in the past and supercars are the norm. Police forces around the world such as Tri-City Bay and Seacrest County have bumped up their budget and police forces to keep up with the increase of street racers and the power the cars output. But something lies beneath, a car that hasn't returned for quite some time. In Fairhaven City, a newcomer has just taken down the Number One racer in the Koenigsegg Agera R and the Hennessey Venom GT driver. The driver who took the BMW M3 GTR has re-emerged but with a twist. The performance of the car has been decreased due to the damage the car has been through. And because the car still has a high national bounty, instead of silver, he made it white. The straight cut gears were so damaged, he had to replace the whole transmission with a lower performance and as a result, the straight cut gears are quieter and not as pronounced. But the P60B40 engine was repairable and it has risen from the dead. The newcomer challenges the new driver of the GTR with police in pursuit and takes his car but not without a fight. The only way he could take the GTR for himself is too take out the driver and force him to give up the GTR. Police arrest the old GTR driver and is sentenced to 35 years in the Fairhaven County Correctional Facility for illegal street racing, reckless driving, damage to public property, and the deaths of 5 officers. The driver takes the BMW M3 GTR, repaints the car silver and uses it for his own driving pleasure. Years later after the racing scene has died out, he drops it off at an abandoned warehouse in Blackridge; where years later, the car once returned.

	In 2015, Blackridge has it's very own Blacklist. The Fairhaven driver had a note on the car stating, "This M3 is a symbol of street racing across the nation. But it's not enough. We need to make this car known worldwide as an icon to inspire others. If you're willing to bare the burden, elevate this car to your city's Blacklist. Do that and you can keep the M3. If you're not, I'll find someone else who is." The drivers were the Blackridge Player, Dwayne, Edge, Delta, Montgomery, Ivy, Ace, Ward, Rook, Sam, and Razor. Razor had broken out of Jail and with some officers hunting Razor down. Most notably, Officer Riviera. Who is not only hunting Razor but the M3 GTR that still has a bounty over anyone who drives the car even after 10 years. After reaching the top and Razor being taken down once again and Razor being sent back to jail. The Blackridge Player then is named the Blacklist Racer. Officer Riviera then calls off the Nation Warrant and the chase. The BMW M3 GTR after 10 years no longer is being hunted or at least, so it seemed.

	The year is now 2017, Fortune Valley is under control of "The House". The Collector, a mob boss who has one massive interest, cars. The Collector gets word of a car that has disappeared from the world has reappeared and risen from the dead. He calls an ally who has close ties with the Palm City Police Department. The Collector states he will pay a huge amount for any high powered and customized vehicles and will pay a massive bonus for the missing car. The BMW M3 GTR. The Collector says if he receives a massive cargo shipment The Collector will let the ally join Arkwright. He explains that Arkwright is an exclusive club where only the 1% of the world can join, and when they join, they'll be able to be control and take over whatever they want from wherever they want with all of that fat stack of dough. Or so they believe. The ally calls upon his team to hunt any car with a proverbial and literal price tag. The ally takes months to search for the BMW M3 GTR for The Collector to purchase and resell in auctions. To ensure his entry and safety into Arkwright.

	2 years later, it's 2019, Donald Trump has been President for 3 years now, The House has been taken down, and Surprise Mechanics have taken over Nevada's casinos. A mysterious person sees the BMW M3 GTR racing on the street still in the hands of the Blacklist Racer. The person pulls out in his way and nearly causes the M3 to wreck. The GTR owner gets out to confront the "idiotic" driver and then the person attacks the top Blacklist Racer, knocks him out. We see Lt. Mercer take the GTR and leave the Blacklist Racer on the road, bloodied and down. Lt. Mercer drives away from Blackridge and off to Palm City, Florida. He hides the M3 GTR somewhere in a container in Port Murphy never to be shown until several months later. He soon starts up the newly formed Task Force. With news of The Collector going on the brink of bankruptcy, Lt. Mercer decides to drop the plan of working alongside The Collector and plans to sell all of the cars on his own with the help of the newly formed High Speed Task Force. Lt. Mercer promotes Danny Shaw as his right hand man after years of friendship. The newcomer in town gets him/her self in a heap of trouble from the local Task Force with a local resident, Ana. A wild child college dropout. She soon gets her Nissan 350z illegally impounded after a crew race and a mission of revenge sets out. Nights later, both the newcomer and Ana race a crew in her father's Camaro but Shaw interrupts the race and the two battle it out until the newcomer totals Shaw's unit and he is then arrested for extortion. Ana then gets information about her car from a noncorrupted Task Force Officer, Eva Torres. They're then lead to a chop shop. They get the biggest crew in town, The League, to show the chop shop off with the news in tail. Mercer soon finds out and kidnaps the two. Ana's brother, Lucas, break the two out of Mercer's captivity. They then head off to upload some incriminating files and Mercer is on the run. Mercer is then promptly fired for extortion and fraudulent activity. A night or so later, Ana, Lucas, The League, and the newcomer get the police chase them to Port Murphy with Mercer hiding in the container with the BMW M3 GTR and soon runs from the police and the newcomer. He/she then rams and totals the M3 GTR and leaves Mercer to Eva Torres. She then presumably shoots Mercer dead. The League thanks the newcomer and Ana and as a reward, they fix the BMW M3 GTR back to it's old self and gifts it over. The legend is passed on and will soon find it's next driver eventually. But for now, it's back in good hands.
