This is a dream car for enthusiasts and is probably more at home on a performance track than commuting everyday on city streets. The M3 boasts a completely different engine (3.2 litre, 333hp six), distinct body panels quad exhausts, tires/wheels and brakes. The result is a huge improvement in performance. The fit and finish of the interior is excellent and includes a driver's seat with thigh extensions for taller drivers. This is a hot rod with a super-stiff, not luxurious ride.

A new competition package adds 19 inch wheels and a lower steering ratio. Larger, cross-drilled brakes and the M Track mode from the M3 CSL complete the package.
