Commonly reported ownership points, not a guarantee of faults. Always get an independent inspection.

The story

The V8 grows into the GTS.

The M3 GTS enlarges the S65 V8 and pairs it with a two-seat cabin and adjustable chassis and aero components. It has its own specification rather than the regular M3’s engine numbers.

Best for

A focused V8 special edition.

Trade-off

Its two-seat cabin and specialist hardware limit everyday flexibility.

The GTS uses a 4.4-litre V8 instead of the regular M3’s 4.0-litre version.
