The new BMW M3 was seen yesterday, a day before its official launch at midnight and met their final technical data and the M4 coupe. Yes, on an aesthetic level the fact is that we do not appreciate surprises. The bulkier bumpers, side, front and rear skirts, aerodynamic mirrors or quadruple exhaust outlet or side gills have become true identity in recent BMW M. Inside subtle changes are also appreciated, as the new three-spoke steering wheel and rim thickness.
Unlike the M3 e92 -a still- sale as well as all of the above, the new M3 mounts a 3.0 turbo engine of 431 horses, 11 hp more than the previous, available between 5,390 and 7,000 rpm with a pair of 550 nm between 1,800 and 5,390 laps. This block can be associated with an M DKG dual-clutch gearbox or a six-speed manual, the latter standard. His predecessor, the current M3, arrived in 2008 and incorporated a 4.0 V8 engine with 420 horses -that the first M3 with eight cylinders if we exclude the exclusive e46 M3 GTR, which occurred 100 units-. However, current anti-pollution regulations and the commitment to the downsizing of the German brand promise to restore its six-cylinder M3, yes, without sacrificing the maximum power and performance figures.
In addition to increased power, the new M3 is also lighter, specifically has achieved a weight reduction of about 90 kilos over its predecessor thanks to the use of lightweight materials like aluminum and CFRP, plastics reinforced with carbon fiber. For example, in roof savings 5 or 6 kilos respect to the sheet is achieved.Specification BMW M3 2014. On the other hand, electronics is one of its strengths. This allows us to gauge the response of the direction-of electrically assistance, accelerator and suspension based on three driving modes: Comfort, Sport and Sport +. In addition, it gives us the possibility of regulating the stability control in three different positions: connected, disconnected and M Mode or perform specific 'Launch Control' function, which optimizes the performance of mechanics to exit as quickly as possible, 'Smokey Burnout 'which helps us to perform controlled skids, and' Stability clutch Control ', which acts on the clutch to correct over steer.With these credentials, no wonder that their benefits are. Accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 4.1 seconds (4.6 of its predecessor) and its maximum speed can be self-limiting to 250 or 280 km / h as an option.To contain all this thrust has specific brakes feature, with oversized ceramic compounds and optionally discs. The tires are 18-inch-to-19, the front tires are 255/40 R18 and 275/40 R18 rear.
