In addition to its famous dynamics, attractive design and amazing efficiency, the BMW M3 has an immense, but so desirable for all drivers, image of success.

What can disappoint you?

It is hardly possible to say that this car will be so desirable for young and more demanding customers. It can be explained by the fact that its competitors Mercedes-Benz C-Class and Audi A4 are better equipped in terms of technology and comfort elements. An unpleasant surprise is also the ever-growing price.

Fortunately, the BMW M3 is not too different from the main linear model of the 3 Series. The hood has become more rounded. Its updated appearance hints at the power gains. In addition, it has received new low-profile tires. Carbon fiber roof options are also presented to reduce the gravity center.

Driving experience

All 2016 cars are able to bring special pleasure from driving, the quality of which brings it to the first positions of the segment. The twin-turbocharged engine is powerful and even aggressive. It sounds very nice. A manual six-speed or automatic seven-speed double clutch gearbox will amaze its owner. The electric power steering, which has made the steering wheel less sensitive, can be considered as the biggest problem. Cars of the highest configuration are very clever, but their automatic gearbox is a little tough. Most drivers prefer a mechanical one.

Interior

Representatives of BMW say that the interior of their latest model is reproduced simply from the album. That's probably why the car looks so straight and restrained and is equipped with high-quality materials. The main devices are located in front of the driver, making them easy to access. There is enough legroom for the passengers of the second row. The driver and front passenger can use the iDrive controller located on the center console. The central screen, with high resolution, is conveniently located.

Exterior

The connection of the BMW M3 2016 with its predecessors is easy to see, especially if to put them together. Even not very knowledgeable drivers know exactly what they are looking for in a BMW car. The modern M3 became a little longer and higher, got a straighter styling and well-connected headlights and grille. Its external aggressiveness hints at the power under the hood. The car is a typical attractive representative of its family.

BMW offers 4 years of free maintenance and four years of road assistance.

Optional equipment

Optional equipment is diverse and expensive. However, even high costs should not stop the driver from the purchase of the following equipment: the 360 camera, the system of trunk door opening without arms, navigation system with programmable road points, display on the windshield and adaptive cruise control. 

Under the hood 

The 2016 line offers four versions of four-cylinder engines. As been said earlier, the M3 is equipped with a 3.0-liter twin-turbo engine and a manual six-speed or automatic seven-speed double-clutch gearbox. Most representatives of the 3 Series have a fuel-saving stop/start function. Nevertheless, this feature causes a stumble in the movement continuation. You can disable this function if you wish.
