3) Gear Shifting Animation

Although Rockstar Games pays attention to details such as stylish interiors, a functional dashboard, and various other car features, the transmission remains automatic with no option to switch to manual. However, modder Burkiolmi has addressed the issue with a GTA 5 car mod that, despite using auto-transmission, includes gear-shifting animation.

As is customary, the mod is primarily made for first-person camera users. The character's hand moves in sync with the transmission and makes a gear-shifting noise. A small text in the bottom right corner also indicates which gear the car is in.

4) NFS BMW E46 M3

The BMW E46 M3 is very popular among gamers due to its inclusion in the Need For Speed: Most Wanted 2005 video game. While Rockstar Games included Paul Walker's Skyline from Fast and Furious 2 in GTA Online, the NFS car is still missing from both versions of the game. However, modder cookierich has addressed this issue with a mod.

Need for Speed fans can now drive this car in Grand Theft Auto 5. The modder added two Easter eggs in the car's trunk, including a miniature version of the car and a cover of the 2005 video game.
