Boasting the same drive technology, a 309kW M-derived V8, the new performance juggernaut has also been developed as a new car from the ground up and features all of the highlights typical of a BMW M Car but nevertheless conceived as a unique product personality.

The BMW M3 Sedan is a high-performance car which, in its design and functions, sets new standards while remaining first and foremost a BMW M3 in its character – a car developed and built with the mission to convey the
most demanding motorsport technology to everyday traffic, offering unique Sheer Driving Pleasure in the process.

Thirteen years after the introduction of the first BMW M3 Sedan, the Coupé
is now once again being joined by a four-door “brother” – a version particularly appealing to those fans of high-performance sports cars who attach great significance to everyday driving qualities and practical value.

Indeed, all models from BMW M GmbH are characterised by the close connection between vast experience in motorsport and unique driving pleasure on the road. Their superior driving dynamics is based on drivetrain and suspension technology developed with all the know-how of motorsport, offering qualities the driver and his passengers will enjoy on every trip. The fascination created in this way is provided throughout a wide range of vehicle segments and body versions, as is clearly proven, for example, by the success of the BMW M5 Sedan.

The BMW M3 Sedan, with the rear doors facilitating access to the rear seats, owes its supreme driving dynamics to the new eight-cylinder power unit which offers all the DNA of the current BMW Sauber F1 power unit.

Applying the high engine speed concept, characteristic of all BMW M engines, the V8, with its capacity of 3,999 cubic centimetres, develops maximum output of 309 kW. Maximum torque of 400 Newton-metres is equally impressive, as is the maximum engine speed of 8,400 rpm.
