By the appearance of both the M3 sedan and the all new M4 coupe, BMW has revealed a new modern concept of a sport cars with no ordinary performance

The M3 is built to erase anything appears on the road thanks to its sophisticated technology applied on both the aerodynamics and the engine.

Under the hood, we find a new straight six equipped with Twin turbo delivers 431bhp between 5,390 and 7,000 rpm and 550Nm of torque, the engine pushes the M3 from 0 to 100km/h in 4.1 second and a maximum speed electronically limited to 250km/h or a 280km/h with the M Driver's package is chosen. the cooling system has been reviewed to optimize the engine performance addling an intercooler to maximize the charge pressure and engine output same as a main radiator.

The engine can be associated to  a six speed manual gearbox or a double clutch 7 speed Drivelogic with lunch control, the six speed manual is about 12 Kg lighter than the one used in previous model and more efficient.

The 3rd generation of the M DCT show the BMW ability to make the best better, this new gearbox prompt a new high revving turbocharged engine, the Lunch control ensures optimum sprinting performance off the line a lot better than a manual gearbox.

All this hard work will not be enough if the weight a lot, that why BMW engineers gave it a hard diet that the result: they have saved about 80 Kg, starting from materiel used in the engine components, aluminium suspension and ending with the carbon fiber roof.

Thanks to the electromechanical steering wheel, the M3 become more precise around corners, it is adjusted electronically by the servotronic function according to the car's speed Like the M4,  it contains 3 modes: Comfort, Sport and Sport +.

Once you get into the M3, you will see lot of similarity with the standard 3 series and the 4 series, except the M badges that you find everywhere, bucket seats offers optimal seating position.
