After a year’s absence, the sporty BMW M3 returns on the current 3 Series platform. You can’t get a V8 anymore, but with 426 horsepower on tap from a turbo six-cylinder, you won’t miss it.
The M3 is all-new for 2015 and available only as a sedan. The coupe variant is now part of the 4 Series.
The M3 gets its muscle from a twin-turbocharged 3-liter six-cylinder that makes 426 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. You can choose a specially modified six-speed manual transmission or a seven-speed dual-clutch automated manual. The electric power steering unit offers three driver-selectable modes. Bodies feature a carbon-fiber roof and other weight-saving materials.
The cabin is outfitted with Merino leather and wood or aluminum trim, along with all the comfort and convenience features found in the regular 3 Series. In other words, the M3 comes pretty much loaded, although there is room for a few option packages:
You can order individual performance upgrades such as an adaptive suspension system and carbon ceramic brakes—as well as a handful of high-end conveniences.
The M3 packs a ton of standard equipment, not to mention performance. We consider the adaptive suspension—reasonable at $1,000—to be the only essential add-on for performance fans.
