M3 GTS (E92) vs M4 GTS (F82) – BMW’s Rarest M Cars [ Driven+]

Quote:

In today’s special video, I get behind the wheel of two of BMW M’s most exclusive creations — the BMW M3 GTS (E92) and the BMW M4 GTS (F82). These are the ultimate evolution of their respective generations, built in tiny numbers and designed to bring race-car engineering to the road.
We head to North Wales to put them through their paces — with a walkaround, 0–60 tests, and back-to-back drives on some of the UK’s best driving roads.

BMW M3 GTS (E92)
Engine: 4.4L naturally aspirated V8 (S65)
Power: 450hp
0–60 mph: 4.4 seconds
Weight: 1,530kg
Units produced: 138 worldwide

BMW M4 GTS (F82)
Engine: 3.0L twin-turbo straight-six (S55) with water injection
Power: 500hp
0–60 mph: 3.8 seconds
Weight: 1,510kg
Units produced: 803 worldwide

Both cars represent the purest expression of BMW M engineering — one old-school and analogue, the other high-tech and turbocharged. But which is the better driver’s car?

A massive thank you to BMW UK for providing the M3 GTS, and to my friend Kris for trusting me with his stunning M4 GT
