 BMW M3

The BMW M3 is a high-performance version of the BMW 3 Series, developed by BMW's in-house motorsport division, BMW M. M3 models have been derived from the E30, E36, E46 and E90/E92/E93 3-series, and sold with coupé, sedan and convertible body styles. Upgrades over the "standard" 3-Series automobiles include more powerful and responsive engines, improved handling/suspension/braking systems, aerodynamic body enhancements, and interior/exterior accents with the tri-color "M" (Motorsport) emblem. by:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_M3

 Fasten your seat belt and get ready for the breathtaking BMW M3 Sedan. The fourth generation continues the BMW M tradition of M3 motorsport technology for everyday driving. Bmw M3However, as soon as you have taken your first journey in the BMW M3 Sedan, everyday driving will never be the same again. This is thanks components such as the chassis that has mastered the ultimate test on the Nürburgring's legendary Nordschleife, a high-rev concept with up to 8,400 rpm of driving pleasure and the double-clutch transmission M DKG Drivelogic that transfers engine power to the M differential lock and then to the rear wheels without the slightest disruption to tractive force. Bmw M3This is it. The car the BMW faithful have been waiting for. The 4.0-liter V-8 up front barks as the tach needle zings around the dial -- 6000, 7000, 8000 rpm. I grab fourth just before the 8400 rpm redline -- no, that's not a typo -- and turn into the fast right-hander.Some aftermarket mirrors are manufactured with an additional lamp in the side. This can be wired to either to your parking lamps or your turn-signal lamps. Either one requires additional wiring to be threaded through the door, so I usually don’t recommend this approach.The new “BMW M Performance Accessories” livery of the BMW M3 DTM had been presented to a few members of the public at the BMW Autohaus Krauth in Heidelberg (DE) on Friday. Around three months earlier, on July 15th, the BMW M3 DTM concept car was officially presented at the BMW Welt in Munich (DE). From 2012 on, BMW will compete in the DTM with three strong teams, the BMW Team Schnitzer.Bmw M3For 2011, both rear-drive, four-seat coupes use all-aluminum V-8 engines with double-overhead camshafts tickling 32 valves. The M3's 4.0-liter carryover makes 414 horsepower at 8300 rpm and 295 pound-feet of torque at 3900 rpm.Bmw M3

Although that screaming V-8 develops more than 100 horsepower per liter, it's a pussycat around town, pulling cleanly from as little as 1500 rpm. The four-cylinder E30 that founded the M3 dynasty 22 years ago was as rowdy and rambunctious as a punk rocker in a ripped T-shirt; by comparison this fourth generation version is as smooth and suave as a banker in a Brioni suit and $1000 wingtips.They have soft, wrinkle-free leather, dashboards absent of cracks and fading, engines making something like the advertised horsepower, and suspensions that digest a track without shudders or arthritic clunks. It was as though time had wrinkled.Some 80 percent of the M3's components are new or redesigned compared with the regular 3 Series coupe, for those very reasons. The new M3 is the first volume-selling car with a carbon fiber roof, and most of the suspension is made from aluminum. It has an aluminum hood, and plastic front fenders. The 4.0-liter V-8, a close cousin of the M5's 5.0-liter V-10, is 33 pounds lighter than the smaller straight six of the old car.The BMW M3 DTM excited tens of thousands of fans at the DTM season finale at Hockenheim (DE).The Mustang's all new 5.0-liter V-8 cranks out 412 ponies at 6500 rpm and 390 pound-feet at 4250 rpm.Bmw M3 But the most compelling number is 0.2: the difference in power-to-weight ratio between the two. The Mustang carries 8.8 pounds per pony to the M3's 8.6. And yet, at the test track, the 5.0 equals or betters the M3 in every performance category we measure. Both hit 60 mph in 4.4 seconds, but the Mustang is faster to the quarter mile by a tenth of a second and 0.7 mph-12.7 seconds at 111.6 mph.Rare, brash, expensive when new, and often showing scars of high mileage and a hard life when you glimpse a survivor on the street today, the seminal E30 M3 came into being because of a mid-1980s racing technicality.Bmw M3
