BMW M3

BMW M3

BMW intends to do remains the best sport sedan in its class and live up to its precedent, but it has done otherwise. Just the BMW M3 without electronic driving aid, leaving the BMW M3 without stability control would have been a mistake, however much they want to defend the "purity" of driving.

To achieve these horses more, without increasing the engine capacity or resort to overfeeding, BMW had to re-complete. Now is one of the most technically complex market and almost everything in it is intended to achieve a very high speed: 8000 rpm, hence leaving the horses.

To maintain the strength we need to give power to that regime, and although it has dual variable intake, the engine has lost some elasticity.

The transmission is very similar but with shorter development and self-differential that gives you more towing capacity. Not only has traction control (not the former), it also has stability control, even off.

Relative to a normal 3 Series chassis modifications are very significant, including suspension and different components of structural reinforcements. Change the brakes as much as suspensions, new drilled and ventilated discs at all four wheels.

The body now is distinguished not only by details such as mirrors or tire pilots. The BMW M3 has a clearly different front skirt, in a bulging hood, fins and widened with cooling holes and other details.

Initially it is available only with manual gearbox with six gears and the body coupe. And can be ordered and costs 9,700,000 pesetas, more than in other European markets due to slight differences in equipment and tax.

The main method to increase the engine power has been brought up a scheme higher, everything has changed in the engine derives from that purpose and the need to avoid a large loss of elasticity.

BMW M3

The displacement is 3.2 liters, slightly higher than the previous BMW M3 because of the diameter of the cylinder (84.6 before, 87.0 now). It also increases the compression ratio, which is extremely high and improving performance at any speed (11.5 to 1, before 11.3). To avoid the problems of detonation caused by a compression ratio as high has three sensors that detect, in this case the PBX amending power.
