Rest of the car is perfect. Completely agree with the review. Sound is subjective, I'm a fan when you put the right exhaust on it.
Easily the best designed M car in my opinion out of all the f series and g series.

GTS coding helps steering but it doesn’t fundamentally change it, just makes it more sensitive on center and a little lighter at speed. Still very accurate but doesn’t tell you exactly where the front tires are. If you didn’t like stock, GTS is a small improvement but not a fundamental change, and I’m not sure G8X will be better if you’re looking for the front tires through the steering wheel. FWIW I like F8X steering so I’m certain I’ll also like G8X steering but I don’t see how either systems will replicate the nuances of hydraulic steering. If we look at the one guy who absolutely raves about the steering as the best part, it’s CH but he also liked F8X steering over E9X. Ive seen quite a few reviews where steering is still categorized as “dead”. What this tells me is G8X probably has better sensitivity and return to center calibration, but not a fundamentally different feel if that makes sense
