For the past thirty-one years, the BMW M3 has taken the Ultimate Driving Machine philosophy laid down by the 3 Series and gave it wings. Today, the 2017 model is one of the most lauded performance luxury sports sedans out there. Packing M Performance gear galore, including a TwinPower Turbo inline-six with 425 horsepower, 406 lb-ft of twist, and nary a hint of turbo lag, its reputation on paper pales on comparison to what it’s like behind the wheel.
The M3 puts driving engagement first, which is why a six-speed manual is standard equipment. If you want faster shifts, an available seven-speed dual-clutch with Drivelogic that enhances standing-start acceleration is on the options sheet. If you really want to trip out your M3, opt for the Competition package. Not only does it add on neat bits like Adaptive M Suspension, an Active M Differential, and unique seats, it dials up power to 444 hp, shaving a millisecond off the car’s 3.9-second sprint time. The result of all this gear is a connected, engaging, and truly exhilarating driving experience you won’t want to pass up.
