Owning and working on it
- The base car is 425 hp and 406 lb-ft; the Competition Package, offered from MY2016 on both coupe and convertible, raises it to 444 hp.
- The MY2016 GTS is coupe-only and M-DCT-only at 493 hp and 443 lb-ft, and it is water-injected. 700 were built worldwide with roughly 300 coming to the US.
- The MY2018 CS is also coupe-only and M-DCT-only, at 454 hp and 442 lb-ft. Some international sources cite 460 PS, which is a metric conversion of the same engine rather than a different US rating.
- Mechanically the F80 M3 is the same car in sedan form, so job and parts research usually crosses over.
