Our first drive of the regular M3 and the Competition variant showcased their ability to pull off lurid drifts, which were encouraged by the optional M Drift Analyzer (part of the M Drive professional package). The sedan can be outfitted with even stronger carbon-ceramic brakes, which feature cool gold-painted calipers. Every M3 also features adaptive dampers and an adjustable brake-pedal feel. The limited-production M3 CS boosts power to 543 with 479 pound-feet of torque. The M3 Comp comes standard with rear-wheel drive, but it's also available with an all-wheel-drive system with a rear-drive mode. The M3 Competition's engine is even more powerful, generating 503 horses and 479 pound-feet, but it's only offered with the eight-speed automatic.
#NEED FOR SPEED SHIFT 2 BMW M3 MANUAL#
A six-speed manual is the only transmission offered. The normal version sends 473 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. Engine, Transmission, and PerformanceĪs with the M4 coupe, the M3 sedan features a twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six. Aside from the subjective exterior and interior styling choices, we'd recommend selecting the M Drive Professional package (with its onboard drift analyzer and lap timer) and the M Driver's package (unlocks a higher top speed and includes a high-performance driving class). We understand why some folks will be drawn to the M3 Comp–its extra power and available all-wheel drive ($4100 extra) for starters–but we prefer the one with the manual-which also rides better.
It's a pity that the more powerful M3 Competition is only offered with an automatic transmission because the six-speed manual on the base version is hugely satisfying.
