GOOD WATCHİNG YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND SUBSCRİBE BMW LİFE The M3 is BMW’s most iconic driver’s car, and the current model shows that the company still remembers what made many previous M cars instant favorites. The standard version of the current M3 is a rear-drive 473-hp sedan available only with a six-speed manual transmission. opt for the 503-hp M3 Competition, and you’ll have to settle for an eight-speed automatic. The M3 Comp is available with either rear- or all-wheel drive, and its track-tuned chassis is stiff-riding to the point of being close to a race car-like experience. All M3s are quick: in our testing, the rear-drive Competition model’s 60-mph time of 3.5 seconds was 0.4 seconds quicker than our long-term base car’s. Both versions will thrill you on the road or on the track, and the base model can transform into a surprisingly comfortable cruiser if you’re patient enough to solve its Rubik’s Cube of drive modes. Rivals such as the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio and Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing do an even better job of making the car-to-driver connection—but the M3 is nonetheless a joyously visceral experience. 🌐 HIGHS Silky-smooth straight-six horsepower, six-speed manual availability, economy, base model is a surprisingly comfy commuter. LOWS Overwhelming number of drive-mode settings, no manual-transmission option for Competition model, a little too much kidney grille. VERDICT The M3 is a thrilling, top-tier driver’s car that’s roomy, handsomely appointed and track-attack ready. 🌐 #bmw #bmwm #bmwlife #bmwm3 #bmwgram #bmwlove #bmwnation #bmwmotorrad #bmwrepost #bmwm4 #bmwclub #bmwm5 #bmwmotorsport #bmwmpower #bmwpower #bmwusa #bmwfan #bmwi8 #bmwx5 #bmwlovers #bmwperformance #bmwm2 #bmwe30 #bmwlifestyle #bmwclassic #bmwe36 #bmwe46 #bmwporn #bmwm6 #bmw3 #bmwx6 #bmw3series #bmws1000rr #bmwfamily #bmwmperformance #bmwworld #bmw5 #bmwinsta #bmwstories #bmw5series
