High Performance pure for the new super sports BMW M, which makes the official market launch of the new BMW M3. The testing was performed with the utmost ease, even after the countless support collected for the concept at the Geneva Motor Show, now the new 3 Series Coupe high-performance "M" is ready to conquer again the pole position.

The heart of the new BMW M3 is a propeller to eight cylinders, developed completely from scratch, who locked himself in the DNA of the Formula 1 engine from the BMW Sauber F1 Team. The V8 was designed according to the principle that characterizes all M engines by providing a displacement of 3999 cubic centimeters a maximum output of 309 kW/420 hp. The maximum torque of 400 Nm is impressive, and the maximum speed of 8400 rpm.

Without equal is undoubtedly the impetus generated with the help of this potential which is perceived in the transmission of engine power to the rear wheels using the self-blocking differential variable M.

The acceleration of the new BMW M3 not only provides high speed of response but also an enormous and ongoing deployment of power. The sprint from 0 to 100 km / h takes just 4.8 seconds and even above this level the progression continues with a consistently fascinating, up to a value of 250 km / h when the electronics of the engine blocks artificially.

For the development of new generation M3 was obviously used BMW 3 Series Coupe, while distinguishing it strongly, both aesthetically and technically. In addition to an exclusive design and a technique of propulsion and attitude calibrated to achieve maximum precision with a peak performance, one of the priorities defined in terms of production of M engineers had to build lightweight. The arrival on the market is expected by the end of 2007, and by the approach will be released the first details on prices.

After 15 years, is introduced the successor to the six-cylinder engine in the two generations of BMW M3 before, many times awarded "Engine of the Year." The new BMW M3 is used for the first time a propeller to eight cylinders. The technical data of high-performance engine developed completely from scratch confirm the know-how of the automotive engineers of BMW M GmbH crop in the field of races, as was evident on the recent M5 Touring, M6 and M6 convertible, with 10 cylinder "V".

The main feature of the eight-cylinder engine is the realization of the concept of regional high, typical of BMW M. The maximum output is reached at 8400 rpm allowing the propeller to develop a huge boost. The transmission of power to the rear wheels via 6-speed manual reports. This combination creates the ability to accelerate with a rapid response and a potential dynamic comparable to those of a racing car.

When the objective is to achieve a rapid response, the principle of providing a butterfly for each cylinder remains unsurpassed not only in racing engines. The new engine of the BMW M3 has eight individual butterflies. In each bank of cylinders, two servomotors carry four butterflies in order to achieve a low revs a specific response of the engine and also an immediate reaction when the engine is a high power demand.

The new M3, the driver can configure various parameters of driving dynamics and adapt the BMW M3 to its reactions preferences. For example, the setup of the car, you can completely disable the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC). Electronic control of the dampers (EDC), which optimizes, through adjusting the damping force, the behavior of vertical vibration, the pitch and roll of the BMW M3 in bends and during braking and acceleration, it offers three levels "Normal" "Comfort" and "Sport", pre-press of a button.

For management there are three engine mappings that control the butterflies in the intake as well as a number of other parameters that strongly influence the response of the engine.

Under this principle, the engine hood made of aluminum at the center has a strong camber, known powerdome. Together with grooves which accommodate the additional air intakes, it indicates the high potential of the propeller to eight cylinders that throbs inside. The lines of powerdome and the air intakes follow the shape of the bonnet edge and integrate harmoniously into the form before it was lengthened compared to that of the BMW 3 Series Coupe.

The front module has three large air vents incorporated in the radiator grille that supplies the engine air intake and cooling. The function and size of the air intakes are precisely defined in accordance with technical requirements. Their location corresponds to the call for cooling and air intake of the engine and its sub-groups.

The wheel of the new BMW M3 is a symbol of maximum agility and driving stability. Along with alloy wheels from 18 inches to optimized weight in the typical styling ray M split they emphasize the wide track of the car. As optional is available also in alloy wheels from 19 inches. Through the rays identify the compound brake performance.

The increases sought to shape the dynamics of the rib that extends along the body. The insert in chrome which divides the gill accentuates the three-dimensional structure. The insert accepts both the flash of the form that the horizontal M3 emblem. The exterior mirrors also perform a function and aerodynamic characteristic feature is the support arm doubled.

Five Kg saved through the adoption of the roof of carbon fiber, which like the M6, is used to further lower the center of gravity of the new M3. The weight saving in this area has a particularly positive impact on the dynamics of the car. In order to strengthen the technology, the roof has been treated with the varnish that makes visible the structure of carbon fiber.
