BMW M3: The Muscle of BMW’s “3” Series

3

If you’re planning to treat yourself to a luxury small car, and comfort, robust performance and safety are on your checklist, you’ll want to take the BMW M3 for a test drive.

The engine that delivers the powerful performance is a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 with a six-speed manual transmission that delivers a 425-horsepower punch, with acceleration times of 0 – 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds. A seven-speed automatic transmission is optionally available for those who don’t want to manually shift. An M Competition package enhances the engine output with a specially-tuned Adaptive M suspension, with driver-selectable Comfort, Sport, and Sport+ modes, a specific calibration of Dynamic Stability Control, the Active M differential, and 20” wheels. The M3 offers a spirited ride with sharp steering and solid brakes.

You’ll find comfortable seating for five occupants inside the M3’s cabin, with enough head room and leg room for adults to be comfortable, even in the rear seats. The iDrive infotainment interface will include all the possible options in the M3, including Apple CarPlay, navigation, a Wi-Fi hotspot and 16-speaker premium Harmon Kardon audio system. A 6.5-inch display screen a USB port, Bluetooth, HD and satellite radio, wireless device charging is also included as part of the iDrive interface.

Even with all this performance and connected technology, the M3 is still a safe vehicle. In fact, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety named the 3-Series to its list of Top Safety Picks, thanks to its performance in crash tests, which resulted in the top mark of “Good” in all tests performed. The Highway Traffic Safety Administration also acknowledged the safety of the 3-Series by awarding it a five-star safety rating. A rearview camera, as well as the latest in integrated safety features,  are included with the M3. Keeping you safe and confident while you’re behind the wheel are adaptive headlights, automatic high beams, speed limit information, a head-up display, active park assist, parking sensors, a 360-degree camera system, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, and automatic emergency braking.
