The BMW M3 has been around for 34 years since its first global release. In May 2016, the brand celebrated the M3’s 30th year anniversary with the M3 30 Years variant which was also launched to the Philippine market. After a facelift, the fourth-generation model BMW M3 Sedan CS was launched in May 2018.
The 2024 BMW M3 comes with an aggressive face with the brand’s iconic kidney grille and air vents, flanked by sleek LED headlamps. Character lines provide a contouring effect around the sports sedan which makes it look even more athletic and robust. These design elements not only serve aesthetic purposes but also aerodynamics. A carbon fiber roof complements the functionality and design of the vehicle.
Completing the sporty yet elegant styling are 18-inch alloy wheels that are equipped with run-flat tires.
The balance of sportiness and sophistication extends to the interior of the BMW M3. Its minimalist layout is refined by premium, soft-touch materials with a mix of leather, high-grade fabric, and chrome trims. Much like other M Series sedans, it comes with the BMW signature driver-oriented cockpit with a multi-function steering wheel and a slew of controls from the center console and instrument panel.
The generously spaced cabin comes with leather upholstered seats that are equipped with power adjustability and heating.
On the dashboard is a touchscreen LCD infotainment system connected to BMW iDrive. The system provides easy access for drivers to activate safety controls, navigation features, and the entertainment package. Smartphones and gadgets can also be synced to the system through Bluetooth connectivity.
What makes the BMW M3 stand out is its wide range of safety features that cover all bases for a sports sedan. Among the long list are an Anti-Lock Braking System, Electronic Brake Distribution, Brake Assist, Vehicle Stability Control System, Parking Sensors, Back-Up Camera, Crash Sensors, Tire Pressure Warning, and a Post Collision Safety System that are furnished as standard. To make things more convenient, the sedan also comes with Cruise Control, Keyless Entry, and a Multi-Zone Climate Control system.
The 4-door sports sedan comes with a lightweight chassis, adaptive suspension, and an active differential. Stopping power comes from ventilated discs in the front and discs at the rear.
Powering the BMW M3 Sedan CS is a 3-liter inline 6 Twin Turbo gasoline engine that produces an impressive 450 hp and 550 Nm of torque. The engine sends power to the rear wheels through a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission which can accelerate in 4.3 seconds.
