Dubai Autodrome, 100 degrees in the shade. The M3 Coupe is already in pole position. Since its inception, the BMW M3 has embodied the very soul of motorsport. Now it’s setting a new benchmark on the world’s racetracks. Virtually all components have been constructed from the ground up with one goal: to exceed the capabilities of its illustrious predecessor. A muscular, racing-inspired 4.0-liter V-8 engine is a driving enthusiast’s dream. The M3’s
lightweight construction contributes to its dynamic responsiveness and sporty road is designed to set your pulse racing. Get behind the wheel – and experience the
sports car performance.

One of the V-8’s many motorsport-inspired advances: using eight separate throttle butter ies, one for each cylinder, to deliver faster engine response and greater overall performance and ef ciency. Another is BMW’s variable Double-VANOS technology, which precisely adjusts valve timing all the way up to the M3’s staggering 8400-rpm redline. It’s engineering like this that contributes to the M3 Coupe’s 0-60 time of an incredible 4.5 seconds.1 Trust BMW M to turn the tarmac into your paved playground.

Along with faster 0-60 times, reducing a vehicle’s weight also helps deliver lightning-quick responsiveness and uncanny driving dynamics. BMW’s intelligent lightweight engineering gives the latest generation M3 an enviable weight-to-power ratio of 8.9 lbs/hp. The M3’s suspension, for example, uses weight-optimized components, like an aluminum front axle. The M3 Coupe’s carbonber roof weighs 11 lbs. less than a steel roof, and 45 lbs. less than a steel moonroof. By reducing the weight of the roof, BMW lowers the center of gravity, thus minimizing body roll and enhancing grip through turns.

As signi ed by its V-8 engine, the BMW M3 raises the bar for high-performance vehicles in |
|

|
virtually every respect. The standard M3 transmission is a smooth 6-speed manual, with a |

heavy-duty clutch for immediate pickup at the starting line and during shifting. Piloting the |
|
M3 through gear after gear all the way up to the 8400-rpm redline is the perfect way to take |
|
advantage of all 414 horses. And when it comes to stopping power, the M3 is no less impressive. |

Honed by our M engineers to perform like no other vehicle. Tested through more than 600,000 miles of corners and straightaways at the Nürburgring’s infamous Nordschleife. With astounding technical prowess, the M3 powerfully upholds its M heritage. The rigid lightweight chassis and uniquely engineered front and rear axles form the foundation of the M3’s driving dynamics. The short-ratio nal drive features a Variable M Differential Lock for up to 100% locking action, for optimal traction at all times. Standard M Servotronic variable-assist power steering is speedsensitive, automatically adjusting to enhance road feel at any velocity. These are features more commonly associated with high-performance racing vehicles. But to a true M enthusiast, it’s just the kind of engineering that helps you get where you’re going: driving nirvana.

Adhering to a time-honored M engineering principle, the M3 Sedan’s form follows its high-performance function. And the challenging curves of the Circuit de Catalunya near Barcelona provide the perfect proving ground. A discreet spoiler lip on the trunklid reduces lift on the rear axle, helping the M3 maintain high-speed stability. The at under oor and specially designed mirrors further boost its aerodynamic ef ciency. And gleaming alloy wheels – standard 18" Bright Silver nish Double Spoke or optional 19" polished and forged Double Spoke – help keep brakes cool during performance driving maneuvers, while reducing unsprung weight for better traction and ride comfort.
