Optional M DCT allows M3 drivers to enjoy a thrilling Formula 1 derived technology and an even more dynamic driving experience. By allowing the process of disengaging one gear and engaging the next to overlap, power delivery remains uninterrupted during gear changes. As a result, all three M3 models reach the 62mph benchmark 0.2 seconds quicker than their six-speed manual equivalents and achieve a reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of around 10%. And thanks to DRIVELOGIC, M DCT can be personalised to match the M3 driver’s preferences, achieving the perfect balance of dynamic performance and comfort. V8 ENGINE. The M3’s 4.0 litre V8 engine is inspired by motorsport technology – and it shows. The 420hp powerplant remains faithful to the BMW M tradition of high-revving, high-performance engines thanks to its lightweight components. Eight individually-adjustable throttle butterflies give the engine an immediate and direct throttle response at all times, resulting in an impressive maximum engine speed of 8,400rpm and a power output of 105hp/litre. A PERSONALISED DRIVING EXPERIENCE. The BMW M3 offers a high degree of driver personalisation, allowing the set- up to be adjusted to their own unique driving style. Individual settings for engine response – Power, Dynamic Stability Control Plus, optional Electronic Damper Control and DRIVELOGIC (within M DCT) can be instantly adjusted using buttons on the centre console. In addition, preferred combinations of settings can be configured and stored via MDrive Manager (within iDrive), and activated by simply pressing the MDrive button on the M leather steering wheel.

    Metric Mechanic’s M3 Engines M3/S14 Engine Specifications Copyright© June 2012 by Metric Mechanic Inc™ 505 East Main, Richland, MO 65556 Page 2 PH: 573-765-1269 FAX: 573-765-4216, metricmechanicinc@mac .com, www.metricmechanic.com Sport 2500 M3 Engine Metric Mechanic’s Sport 2500 HiFlo ST S14 M3 Engine General Engine Description Straight from the factory, BMW M3’s are great performance sedans! With their bigger brakes, better suspension and more powerful high rev engines, the M3 engine is strong, well built and reliable even though more aggressively driven. The average engine life expectancy is about 140,000 to 150,000 miles. But some owners feel the M3 lacks low to mid- range rpm “grunt”. In other words, it doesn’t pull to their liking below 4,500 rpms. Metric Mechan- ic’s “fix” is to enlarge the engine. We up the bore from 93.4 mm to 95 mm and increase the stock 84 mm stroke to 87 mm. Enlarging the intake ports from 26 mm to 29.5 mm, helps the engine breath. The net result is a bigger engine with improved low end and mid range torque, and expanded top end breathing - in other words - a 2.5 liter M3. Metric Mechanic 2500 HiFlo ST M3 Engine - 235 HP M3 Engine Anatomy Head Porting the 4 Valve M Head A 16.5% flow increase is achieved by machining the intake ports to 29.5 mm (26 mm stock). See “Metric Mechanic HiFlo ST M3 Head” chart on the next page. By using stock cams and porting, the engine ends up with a very flexible power band on the street.

  • BMW AG Presse
    BMW AG Presse. The story of an exception: the BMW M3 is 25. The anticipation began in August 1985. That summer Germany’s automobile magazines built up their readers’ expectations for the fastest 3 Series BMW of all times. The key data revealed a sports car that would punch way above its class: 200 hp, top speed in excess of 230 km/h, sprint from a standing start to 100 km/h inside 6.7 seconds. However, the story was that “the most dynamic BMW 3 Series drivers” would have to wait until mid-1986. The pundits were right on that count. But one prediction missed the mark by a mile: anyone who “wants to be in the A Team needs to be turbochar- ged under the bonnet”. Not true. The BMW M3 became the most successful touring car in motor-sport history. The M3 project was launched just a few months earlier. Production of the M1 mid-engine sports car had already been discontinued for some time and BMW CEO Eberhard Kuenheim commissioned a design for a successor, almost as an aside, according to legend. After one of his regular visits to Motorsport GmbH in Munich’s Preußenstraße he said, almost as he was lea- ving: “Mr. Rosche, we need a sporty engine for the 3 Series.” His aspi- ration was in good hands. Motorsport GmbH with its managing director of technical development Paul Rosche had demonstrated its expertise with the legendary 5 Series saloons driven by M engines as well as developing the Formula 1 turbo engine that powered Brazilian Nelson Piquet to win the World Championship in the Brabham BMW in 1983.
