The M3's 4.0-liter V8 powerplant has two more cylinders than its predecessor, delivering 414 horsepower and maximum torque of 295 pound-feet at 3,900 rpm. The engine is the lightest V8 in the world, weighing less than the previous M3's inline-six. A fine example of BMW's outgoing high-revving "M" tradition, maximum engine speed in the 4.0-liter is a screaming 8,300 rpm. In the interests of fuel economy, BMW is currently abandoning high-revving naturally aspirated engines in favor of turbocharged units with much lower redlines.
The compact V8 can be paired with the either a standard six-speed manual or an optional seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. The row-your-own unit helps the car accelerate from zero-to-sixty mph in a claimed 4.7 seconds, while the auto is rated at 4.5 ticks; both times are likely conservative by nearly half a second. Fuel economy is rated at 14 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway for both transmissions.
Stopping power is enhanced by internally-vented, cross-drilled cast iron discs measuring 14.2 inches in diameter at the front and 13.8 inches in the rear.
The majority of the M3's chassis is constructed from lightweight aluminum, helping to keep the weight down and the handling reflexes sharp. Also contributing to the M3's agile dynamic character is a near perfect 51/49 front to rear weight distribution. Reminiscent of the carbon fiber roof panel used on the M6 coupe, the M3's carbon fiber roof cuts unnecessary weight and lowers the car's center of gravity. It also lets the roof edge appear flatter and thus lowers the perceived body height.
Aesthetics
The M3 coupe is visually distinguishable from lesser 3-Series models thanks to a unique body kit, a more aggressive front fascia, a slight power bulge on the hood and, of course, the carbon fiber roof. Inside, the M3 maintains the simple yet elegant cabin of the standard 3er but adds numerous M badges, unique instruments and a fat-rimmed M steering wheel. The rear seats are surprisingly accommodating, and the trunk provides a reasonable amount of space.
Options
A premium package offers power folding mirrors, universal garage opener, digital compass mirror, BMW Assist, Novillo Leather interior and choice of three optional interior trims. The technology package includes EDC, M Drive, Comfort Access, and a navigation system.

Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow
Thu, 17 Jan 2013A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.
BMW X4 opens up alongside its boxier brother
Tue, 01 Oct 2013It doesn't seem so long ago that BMW (not to mention Audi, Volvo and a handful of other European automakers) weren't in the crossover market. But it's been over a decade since BMW began producing the first-gen X5, and in the fourteen years since, the Bavarian automaker has steadily expanded its portfolio to include the X1, X3 and X6.
The next to join the family will be the X4, which is essentially to the X3 what the X6 is to the X5. That is to say, basically the same vehicle, only with an (arguably) more stylish but less utile roofline. Previewed in concept form at the Shanghai Auto Show half a year ago, the X4 has been snapped by our plucky paparazzi in the past, but this is the first time we've seen inside.
Not only that, but the prototype in question was spotted next to the current X3 on which it is based, which gives us ample opportunity to see the differences between them. Of course, that still primarily comes down to the slantback profile, because otherwise, the two are essentially the same inside and out. Or at least they will be: many of the differences between the two are expected to port over to the X3 when it's refreshed next year, including some subtle interior upgrades - just not the roofline.
BMW recalling 1 Series ActiveE over bad drivetrain housing
Wed, 30 Jan 2013There are always growing pains when automakers introduce new technologies. BMW is learning this with the electric powetrain used on the 2011 BMW ActiveE. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, about half of the all-electric 1 Series coupes currently in the hands of the public are being recalled for a potential problem that could leave the cars stranded.
With 700 ActiveE models running around the US, 360 of these cars have insufficient sealing between the electric motor and transmission, which could lead to premature wear to the connection between the two, which in turn could result in a loss of propulsion. BMW started notifying affected owners by phone earlier this month.
While no automaker wants a recall on its hands, it's much better for BMW to learn such a lesson now on the low-production, lease-only ActiveE ahead of the car's successor, the BMW i3, which is expected to be a much higher-volume EV. Scroll down for the official recall notification.
