We love a sibling rivalry here at GRR and few are more entertaining than what we have for you today. In one corner, the howling vocalist that is the M3 GTS (in which we ride) and in the other, the bodybuilder F10 M5. We’re glad to be on board with the screaming orange V8 for the noise alone but there’s a reason the big turbocharged V8 is the ’Ring taxi of choice. That being said, driven as handily as this, the M3 GTS with its mild aero, track tyres and dialled geo absolutely mincing the Nordschleife and humbling the bigger faster car in the more technical stuff. Obviously with almost 600PS, the M5 starts to stroll on in the straights,
If you don’t fancy watching a video today, that’s fine too. This is one of those that works on sound alone, as the 4.4-litre V8 is rung out for every last rev it can give. It’s a fun game too to guess which part of the circuit they’re on based on gear shifts and throttle inputs. Or are we just weird? Oh well. M3, V8, Nürburgring. Enjoy.
