probably not for a sim racer. but for what it IS, i can see why it costs that much. it is a real race car rim after all. it'd be like putting an FIA full containment seat on your sim rig. that being said, its very cool and if i had money id put one in my street car lol
13th of June? That's an oddly specific review date for a wheel rim that has already been out for some time. Are you trying to tell us something @randomcallsign? 🙄 QR2 maybe?
Well, comparing the price with some other real wheels (converting the real AMG wheel, FI-Tech does that for 1800 Euro excl. taxes) its a great price for motorsport standarts
little note about the seperate usb wheel cable thing, because of some electronics, the wheel HAS to be updated using that usb wheel cable thing, cant be done through the wheelbase. (unless they've changed it)
For its extreme price point, it just doesn't have that wow factor, you could buy a premium wheelbase for that money or buy several wheels, it wants to be an awesome handling wheel for the price.
as cool as it is that this could be installed onto a real race car, i think its an entirely pointless and usless gimmick that skyrockets the price of a wheel which would have been really nice for any sim gt3 fans, i think they need to have a sim only variant of this wheel for significantly less maybe made with cheaper materials so normal people could afford it
I know its not replica but that's where they failed for such a price point not to have customisable buttons. Because come on where you going to use Drink button... Just because its premium it needed to have a stickers included with naked caps. Other then that yes mega wheel but I think Cubes release equally cool Merc wheel for much less
I may be wrong but according to the fnanatec site, the BMW M4 GT3 is only 2kg (Carbon is light), it's even lighter than the CSL WRC wheel (2.1kg) and very close to the CSL Mclaren (1.8kg) and all those wheels are perfect for the CSL DD.
The weights you mentioned are the packaging weights, not the product weights. The BMW is NOT lighter than the WRC. The WRC is close to 1kg (exact weight with QR1 Liite is 1092g, with QR1 its 1280g), so definitely not over 2kg. Same for McLaren. The M4 GT3 has an exact weight of 1629g which is absolutely okay for 8 Nm and even for 5 Nm DD bases.
Clothes your eyes and pretend it’s the expensive blow up wheel you dream off😂, just kidding- hope they release more and hope better prices mean affordability
i can't pay attention to shiny fanatec products with such a handsome man presenting it. how is anyone supposed to keep their eyes off the manhunk eyecandy?
The joke "This is not a replica" Because it is in fact the real deal! hahaha Hey what's your car ? M4 GT3.. Steering Wheel! Jokes aside I love the idea but that price is so premium. If anything I like the McLaren Replica wheel
Mine was well worth the price. it's the best feeling wheel I have ever used. People hate on it because it doesn't have a screen, but I race in VR so the in-game dash is all I need. The layout of the buttons, number of mappable inputs and the size of the rotaries are perfect for VR. The quality of the build is excellent and this is more important to mee than having a dash. I have enough inputs that my hands never need to leave the wheel.
@@Steve30x I was not expecting someone to through around insults. If its not worth the money to you then that's ok , for me it was for the reasons I stated. Each person has to determine the benefits for themself.
I disagree that fanatec makes the best shifter. I own a wheel with megaline shifters and it is no where near the quality and feel of a real gt3 paddle shifter from megaline.
Is it worth it 1500?

No.
Meanwhile, there are other wheels released to the market I can probably never put that much money in. 😉

got mine a few months ago and can’t stop using it. buttons and thumb rotaries are definitely a highlight even with thick gloves
oddly enough i haven’t gotten the two way paddles to work in any sim yet
@@jodyestevens9911 in iRacing at least, you map the paddles normally then in the controls, map an alternate up/down shift as the “push” of each one
Would it be worth it for a gt pro8nm ps5

might need to buy a bmw gt3 to justify this for my sim....
😂😂

Those buttons r so good this turned into a asmr video 😂
well thats a video right there. thanks :D
Yes, youre right the Wheel is to heavy for the DDPro 8NM. I mean you can drive, But you dont have the same feeling that you have with the McLaren
Damn that wheel looks fucking good. I wish I could afford one. lol
cant believe they still haven't updated the QR lol, nice wheel though.
When racing, dry weather is better than wet weather for driving together.
What if you don’t want to drive the BMW
Clothes your eyes and pretend it’s the expensive blow up wheel you dream off😂, just kidding- hope they release more and hope better prices mean affordability
Get a moza base and the GS V2
You can drive the m4 gt3 or gt4, so, you choose
This wheel is like over 5x the value of my whole rig lmao
Its very nice but I what I want from Fanatec are cheaper options with lights
fun fact i work with the real version of the car and the quick release are different
When I saw the weight, I thought the same thing, that this steering wheel is not made, for 5/8 nm
it will fit nice on my csl elite
1.7 kg ....... hummm .....
Would this work on 8nm gt pro

Did u get ur GPU to work?
went back to RMA again. My old 1080ti is inside the case for the time being.
@@randomcallsign Awww. 1080ti is still nice!
The joke "This is not a replica" Because it is in fact the real deal! hahaha
Hey what's your car ?
M4 GT3..
Steering Wheel!
Jokes aside I love the idea but that price is so premium.
If anything I like the McLaren Replica wheel
What the hells a QR2?
I’ll buy two
I had the Podium shifters, and I thought they were pretty meeh.. In my opinion Asher Racing shifters are 2x as good as fanatecs toys
Lmaooo you're a hater go cry in the corner
No its not worth €1,500 LOL.
Is Fanatec still working on the quick release V2?

Yes, they are 100% working on it. A few have used it, ADAC Expo 2022. It is amazing
@@wesilsp I was kind of expecting somebody with more money than sense tell me it was well worth the money 😂

@@Steve30x yeah we get it, you're poor. What's the point of spending extra money on gear if a logitech g29 does everything a simucube 2 can?
I disagree that fanatec makes the best shifter. I own a wheel with megaline shifters and it is no where near the quality and feel of a real gt3 paddle shifter from megaline.
way too rich for my blood, but tempting in a 'win the lottery' sort of way.
Who cares about the boxes? I don't... then again I can't even afford to buy a cockroach right now.
Does the airbag work 🤣
yes but not the blinkers
@@randomcallsign typical for BMW drivers ;)
You cannot put it in a real car, the connection is quite obviously different
Different qr. Same connection in the BMW.
I want one
Am i the only one who hate how this wheel looks? Looks so cheap atleast on videos and pictures
Exact opposite here. This is the best looking sim wheel. Too bad fanatec ia the one that made it.
Yes u are the only one
Why do you say moza like mozzarella
so that you comment
@@randomcallsign bastard
GT3 is nothing compared to DTM Class 1 cars
I have a DTM class 1 wheel with megaline and I also have this wheel. Nothing beats my DTM :)
it´s not a replica ;) so yeah it´s not a real wheel
Who gives a crap about a box?!
its one of the most popular thing at youtube
