Bmw M3 Review

Throughout its two decades on the U.S. market, the BMW M3 has been a favorite of enthusiasts looking for sports-car performance and handling from a true four-place car. Although content to smoothly burble around while doing daily driver duty, the BMW M3 transforms into a back-road burner when conditions allow and gives its pilot the opportunity to attack corners with precision and rocket out of them with gusto.

Current BMW M3

Based on the present-generation BMW M3 Series, the BMW M3 is offered in only one trim level among the coupe, sedan and hardtop convertible body styles. Each is powered by a 4.0-liter V8, good for 414 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, which revs to a thrilling 8,400-rpm redline. A six-speed manual is the standard means of sending power to the rear wheels, and a seven-speed automated-clutch manual gearbox with paddle shifters is optional. BMW M3 also get specific hardware upgrades such as more powerful brakes, stiffer suspension tuning and a specialized limited-slip rear differential.

Like previous BMW M3, the current BMW M3 model comes well-equipped with the latest luxury amenities, which in this case includes xenon headlamps, leather upholstery, heated power sport seats and a 10-speaker audio system. The convertible features a nifty hardtop and sun-reflective leather. Features like 19-inch wheels, heated seats, satellite radio, the iDrive navigation system and BMW M3 Sport personalized performance settings are optional.

While past BMW M3 have been performance stars, the new BMW M3 coupe is quite simply one of the best cars to grace our test track. It accelerated from zero to 60 mph in a blistering 4.6 seconds and came to a stop from 60 mph in an extremely short 100 feet. The slalom and skid pad test results were also on par with vastly more expensive supercars, while on-road handling is beyond reproach. Regardless of which body style you choose, expect one of the best performance machines money can buy.

Used BMW M3 Models

The present-generation BMW M3 was introduced for 2008. The following year, BMW upgraded the iDrive system and freshened the M3 sedan's styling slightly.

The previous BMW M3 lasted from 2001-'06 and was available in coupe and convertible body styles. There was a single trim level for both, powered by a 3.2-liter six-cylinder engine producing 333 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed manual transmission was standard, while a six-speed sequential manual gearbox (SMG) was offered as an option starting for the 2002 model year. The latter allows manual-style shifting via paddle shifters next to the steering wheel, and although it was popular, we weren't fans of its herky-jerky performance.

Mystery BMW M3 Caught Testing on Nurburgring

BMW aficionados know that once an M car goes into production that's it, there will not be any technical upgrades during its lifecycle. And since the current M3 was launched two years ago a new one is not expected until at least 2013.

A number of ideas are coming up regarding this, including one saying this is a CSL (Coupe Sport Lightweight). It will be remembered that a track-focused lightweight M3 CSL last went on sale with the E46 model. Among others it had a carbon fibre roof, an SMG II transmission, 90-degree fixed front seats and semi-slick tyres. But BMW says a CSL is not on the agenda for the E92.

Another possible culprit could be a road going version of the BMW M3 GT4 race car. Audi is availing units of the R8 GT3 to the public and BMW might be doing the same with its racer. The E46 M3 had a Competition Package which was also called the CS in the UK.

Vorsteiner BMW E92/90 M3 GTS3 Limited Edition

Vorsteiner has unveiled their new GTS3 styling package for the BMW E90/E92 M3. Consisting of a new front bumper and hood, the package gives M3s an aggressive appearance without being overly garish. The bumper has an expanded center air intake, a downward extension (that lowers the car visually), redesigned side air vents, and a replaceable one-piece carbon fiber front splitter. Options include carbon fiber construction, "dry vacuumed woven plastic" construction, and a two-piece carbon fiber front splitter.

Available exclusively for the E92 M3, the GTS3 hood features dual air vents, a "power dome", tighter lines, and rolled carbon fiber edges. Like the bumper, the hood can also be ordered with carbon fiber construction (single or dual sided).

BMWs M-Division Preparing Competition Spec M3 GT4

Many would say that BMW’s M division has lost its soul and purpose when the legendary tuning division introduced the X5M and X6M. Not anymore. Well to do, M-ophiles will have something to look forward to in the form of a M3 GT4.

Raced at the 24-hours of Nurburgring this past May, the GT4 is fitted with all the race-ready kit you’d expect in something developed to race at the famed ‘Ring. The kit includes an Ohlins suspension setup, aerodynamics enhancements, a full roll cage, an airjack system, race buckets, and a modified engine and transmission. Its a trackday toy or a competition-only machine, so don’t expect to see it on the road.

It has yet to be confirmed for production but Dr. Kay Segler, BMW’s M Division head said its being actively considered. Expect it to be available to gentleman racers sometime in 2010.

Superchaged BMW M3 E46 and Z4M by G-Power

G-Power a well known tuner for BMW has released performance package for the M3 E46 and the Z4M. At the heart of the tuning program is a new large ASA TM I 20 centrifugal supercharger that boosts the M3 and Z4M 3.2-liter straight-six engine's output from 343HP and 365Nm to 450HP and 450Nm or 331.9 lb-ft of torque.

The 107 horsepower boost helps improve acceleration from standstill to 200km/h or 124mph from the standard M3 E46 Coupe's 18,1 seconds to 14,7 seconds, making it even faster than the current 420HP-strong M3 V8 that needs 15.8 seconds for the same sprint.

To improve road handling, the performance package for both the M3 E46 and Z4M include a continuously height-adjustable G-Power coil-over suspension RS with nine selectable settings each for bound and rebound.



The M division sports cars ride on lightweight 20-inch alloy wheels shod in Michelin Pilot Sport tires (245/30 ZR 20 at the front and 285/25 ZR 20 at the back) that allow a top speed of more than 300km/h or 187mph. Though not included in the basic package, G-Power also offers a sports rear muffler that produces a deeper and more sonorous tone.

IND's BMW M3 Coupe E92 Dakar Yellow Project

IDN has released their latest product based on the BMW M3 and it is named as BMW M3 Coupe with the Dakar Yellow project. A set of 18 inch HRE alloy wheels with 275/35 R18 Nitto rubber is fitted to the car. Besides that, a Vorsteiner front lip spoiler and rear diffuser, which seem to work pretty well with the Dakar Yellow paint job.

Our only objection in terms of styling concerns the smoked tail lights but overall, the E92 looks the part and stands out without being obnoxious. IDN's M3 finished project car also features a KW suspension kit and custom made Brembo brakes.
