BMW M3 trims

Each component of the M3 is finely tuned to give the car premium status on the road, but nowhere does it do this more than in the TwinPower Turbo incline 6-cylinder engine. You can choose between a seven-speed double clutch automatic or six-speed manual M gearbox to deliver the outstanding 431bhp. The manual is by far the most instinctual on the road and makes acceleration a more joyous experience which you’re in control of. However, the automatic cruises through the gears very responsively and is a great option if you’re doing a lot of miles and want the ease of press and go with an additional cruise control feature.

None of the M3’s power ever feels like it’s too much to handle thanks to adjustable suspension and brakes. M Compound brakes precisely and efficiently grip the road, while adaptive M suspension automatically tunes the M3 to be suitable for many different driving conditions and driver styles.

BMW aren’t finished here on this flagship model. Active M differential is the manufacturer’s way of steeling an advantage over the competition. This system transmits torque to the rear-driving wheels even in the worst conditions where rotation under acceleration is increased, such as ice and asphalt. As a result, traction when accelerating in such conditions is much smoother than it otherwise would be in an open differential.

With 480 litres of boot space, and enough head and legroom for five adult passengers, the M3 accomplishes equilibrium between power and practicality.
