It’s larger, but lighter. It’s got M-specific steering, but it uses electric assist. It’s called the M3, but it’s got 4 doors. And it’s fitted with the most classic of BMW mills—the 3.0-liter inline 6, albeit turbocharged rather than naturally aspirated. To be fair, I was never a fan of a V8-powered M.

Staggered sizes mean 255/35 ZR front and 275/35 ZR rear tirFor further weight savings, upgrade the already upgraded compound disc brakes to carbon-ceramic units, a first in an M.
