The first test of the BMW M3 in 2021: specifications and facts

Oh, what a terrible nose for a BMW M3. Hope your driving experience lasts all day?

Any new BMW BMW M3 is a huge bargain for the enthusiasts of the automotive community. Forget for a moment what a car actually is and instead focus on understanding what it stands for. The M3 for the motoring community, it’s the improved version, with hot rods, that gives you a better ride thanks to the Ultimate Driving Machine.

We’re talking about hopes and dreams here, folks. And before we get into the specifications and facts, let me tell you a secret that the car dealership in Egypt offers a test drive of the BMW X3 model , and you can enjoy that experience. And before you go to try this wonderful car, I share this video with you, so watch it, but do not hesitate to try it on my own, so be with me with it.

And while it’s of course never going to come cheap, this level of M performance should be feasible and commensurate with its price tag, and to some extent it is. In fact, the M3 tends to look very good too for its price, as the BMW M3 harkens back to the OG E30’s deep-shock, deep chin-knurled ’80s version with the same value and power.

I don’t think I’m going to raise a lot of feathers by saying that fast car enthusiasts want any new M3 to be handsome, fast, expensive without being exclusive and – above all – great to drive. It’s the all-new 2021 BMW M3. Let’s take a spin on the design of the BMW M3 Competition ?

This introduction

It would be a default of a car clerk’s duty for me to say one more sentence without mentioning the face of this car. He’s mad. I’ve been staring at it online for months, and in person for over a week. The massive double grille structures did not grow on me. It’s similar to the human nostrils which is a personal favorite of mine, perhaps I’m not used to it in the design.

But I have a theory about why. In the work of this strange web, some argue that for the most part, people think the front end of a car or its pretty face might make some personify it. This means that they display human traits for what they are looking at. But the front is a lot like humans, the headlights are like the eyes, the grille is like the mouth, etc.

The face of the new M3 (and its two-door sister, the M4) doesn’t look human. It is strange, unfamiliar. I have no way of knowing if BMW did it on purpose, but they created a car that repels people in the same way. If you see a “G80 M3 weighing you down (and will weigh you down), you will instinctively stray out of its way. One of my favorite German words for my fellow car maker is Überholprestige, which means “prestige bypass,” as in this car, when you glimpse a car in your mirror like a BMW M3, it uses the prestige feature to make you pull back properly and let it pass. Looking through this special lens, the M3’s face works. Having said that, I don’t enjoy looking at it.

Is the rest of the car good looking? No, not really. It’s safe to say that this generation of the M3 is less powerful in terms of design. It’s a bit more family-oriented, and BMW didn’t spend the money to light up the tailgate leather to match the bulging rear fender. The result is a sudden transition from door to bulkhead that looks cheap. Also the back end is generic. I suppose I have to tell you that there are four huge tubes and a carbon diffuser”,

How about inside the cabin of the M3 Competition?

If you look and focus on the interior photos, you’ll notice what appears to be a carbon fiber tray located between the thighs of either front seat passenger. Well, that’s exactly what it is. This is part of an expensive carbon seat option. From my previous experience in driving different cars, but I did not like these seats.

Unlike the decidedly slender German engineers, the six-and-a-half feet tall who designed these chairs, these chairs seem to fit them, but like many Americans – I’m not tall and have narrower thighs. The point is that at first I didn’t like the seats.

Then I had to drive all the way for a great distance and into the constant and horrific traffic jams. And after driving for ninety minutes, I came to the conclusion that these carbon-backed arbors are the least comfortable seats I’ve ever sat on.

This was my impression of driving a masterpiece BMW M3 Competition, which changed after I felt the way it was designed, changing the opinion is very difficult, but in fact. I now think these are the best seats I’ve ever had in a car in terms of performance and comfort.

If they’re not really the best, but what would please me may not please someone else, however these optional seats keep you in place for long distances and make you completely comfortable during the flight, however, they are bad for the normal daily commute. So you should choose the seats wisely. And change the seats

Everything that’s left inside this car’s cabin looks a lot like an M5 or M8, with the addition of a new driving analysis system known as the M Drift Analyzer. I did a 24-yard spin-drift at a 31.6-degree angle for 3.4 seconds, but the system only gave me one star out of four for a driving error.

The bottom line is that I found comfort, safety and a sense of high standard. It supports the salon of its cars during the trip with many innovative technologies. The instrument cluster and head-up display ensure maximum visibility. Availability of other features and settings.

Take advantage of the intelligent driver assistance systems while driving and parking, or communicate in a new and simple way with your vehicle through the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant. In addition, numerous connectivity features and digital services are available to provide you with the perfect link to your car and the world to make your mobile life more convenient. *Available for the BMW M3 Competition Sedan and BMW M3 Sedan.

It’s time to find out the price of the M3 Competition, its international price is 73,795 dollars. But the price of the car I tested is $104,245. Yes, the additional options can cost you about $30,000 to put the touches you want. Its time, for example, adding carbon and ceramic brakes may cost you $ 8150 but it is totally worth the trouble.

Need a carbon chair? It’s $950 and the kit price is $4,700, and the M Carbon Exterior package probably doesn’t matter (even if the front intakes are the choice), especially since carbon exterior trim pieces like the carbon-fiber roof come in the standard versions for free. .

But honestly, I can’t do without the M Driver’s Quality System, which is priced at 2500, and is important because it raises the top speed from 155 miles (249.448 km) per hour to 186 miles (299.337 km/h) and includes a “high performance driving class” that can be tested for a day One at the BMW Performance Center. You can request a driving test from here .

Now time to audition?

Yes, the G80 M3 is larger and heavier than the previous F80 M3. But in this version of the M3 BMW has increased the wheelbase by 1.8 inches, the car has become longer by 4.6 inches, and the width of the car has increased by half an inch, while the weight of the car has increased, it is not as bad as you might imagine. Ninety-nine pounds more than the previous 2016 M3 (3,646 pounds) M3 Comp, which our scales say weighs 3,745 pounds. I have previously seen some reports about the weight of this car from Belfast, but this does not seem true at all

This isn’t light, but it’s not a number one should tear off their clothes either. In fact, it is still light. The M3’s most direct competitor, the 505-horsepower Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio, weighs 3,785 pounds, and the last Mercedes-AMG C63 S we tested clocked 3,936 pounds. While we’ve never weighed the Audi RS5 Sportback, its relative, the S5 Sportback, clocked in at 4,092 lbs. It’s a safe bet that the RS5 version is still heavier. What about all the manual pressure you’ve seen on the internet saying the M3 is too big and heavy? The warning from lectorum.

The M3 Competition’s S58 turbocharged 3.0-liter I-6 engine is rated at 503 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque; The non-qualified model makes 473 horsepower and 406 lb-ft for reference. Output goes through an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission and onto the rear wheels. (All-wheel drive is available for 2022.) Can you still get a manual transmission? Yes, but not on comp.

As you’d expect, this BMW is fast. The 2021 M3 hits 60 mph (96.97 km) in 3.5 seconds, easily outperforming the 2016 M3 that achieved the same acceleration in 4.3 seconds. Same story for the quarter mile run – the old car did it in 12.5 seconds at 118.0 miles (189.902 km) per hour. The G80 is almost second fastest at 11.6 seconds.

Braking (the brakes) is a kind of wash, as the old M3 Competition stops from 60 mph (96.56 km) at 100 feet and the new car needs 102 to get off from 101 feet. However, the M3 Comp’s number-eight time was significantly improved: 23.8 seconds versus 24.2 on the old M3 and Alfa Romeo models. And we consider that less than 24 seconds around the handling lane makes it a supercar – which is truly a supercar – given the smooth stance as well.

A look at the driving process?

Fabulous. I wasn’t prepared for how brutal, how harsh and indomitable the G80 BMW M3 Competition would be on the road. The initial impression is all torque – buckets and suitcases are full with it. The S58 engine produces maximum torque on a flat glass “curve” from 2,600 to 6,000 rpm,

And the front wheel drive of the car never calms down. 3rd, 4th or 5th gear, it doesn’t even matter because you’re still hard on the “curve”. Beamer fans and girls wrinkled their collective noses due to the fact that the dual-clutch gearbox of the last generation car was dumped in favor of a regular automatic transmission. These same types are also bothered by having anything other than proof.

Truth? If I told you the transmission was actually a dual clutch, you probably wouldn’t know the difference. This is how fast the ZF box got. Sure, the slower shifts can be a fraction of a second, but that gets into the realm of indifference.

The front end is great. Planted, precise, and neutral—it’s as good as a sports car. The steering is incredibly direct and there’s no steering issue, and it’s not easy to pull in this heavy-nosed street car (53/47 percent weight distribution front and rear). There is hardly any exaggeration either. Despite attempts to drift judged horribly,

I struggled and tried to get the tire screaming. This rubber never yelled, and this thing is completely closed. It feels really special but I found the G80 M3 was built with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres. In this regard, the Pilot Sport Cup 2 high-performance rubber is available, and this technology is not available in other tires on the market,

Popular internet opinion says the new M3 is now really the M5. The fact is that this is in the dreams of the M5. Aside from the fact that the G80 M3 is more than 400 pounds lighter than the current F90 M5, the G80 M3 is also nearly 200 pounds lighter than the legendary E39 M5. Even the 311-horsepower E34 M5 weighs 100 pounds more than this car.

No M5 has ever felt this fleet, exactly that, sporty. Sorry, the Internet, but this is the truth. Sure, the original E28 M5’s 282-horsepower engine was much lighter, but that wasn’t anywhere near that kind of power-to-weight ratio. No, the G80 M3 is something else entirely.

Judgment after the corner?

While I’ve yet to get behind the wheel of an E30 M3, I’ve driven more than my fair share of every other M3 generation. Years ago I drove a straight E46 M3 on a racetrack compared to a 997-generation Porsche 911 Carrera S. The E46 was nice, fun and all that,

But the Porsche 911 seemed twice as fast and was 50 times better. You wouldn’t really think about comparing the two. Fast forward, and not only did I have this wild-faced M3 at home, but I also had a manual Porsche 911 Carrera S. I took all the Germans’ tech the same route on the same day, and the best way to test the car is to compare the cars.

Despite previous experiences stuck in my mind I felt like a BMW was really faster, and according to our test numbers, it is. And I’m sure that on the racetrack, a 519-pound lighter Porsche will find a way to exercise its supremacy — and that’s what Porsche does. But in the grooves? Where will you drive the two cars most of the time? Best participation in the 2021 M3 competition. This car is good. I just want to remember to put the thing aside to just park a great car by all accounts.

And now I leave you with some data about M3

The BMW M3 Competition Sedan demonstrates the possibility to take part in motor racing with the BMW 3 Series saloon. The top model of the BMW 3 Series saloon features a high-performance BMW M TwinPower Turbo 6-cylinder petrol engine with a power of 510 hp, numerous driving technologies and a modified chassis from motor racing.

Interaction with the optional M xDrive* all-wheel drive system with the active M differential means that the driver of this unique sports saloon can always expect a high level of typical M driving dynamics. The powerful proportions and distinctive three-part design visually emphasize the car’s sporty character.

Bold M design elements such as the carbon roof with fins or the prominent black sill plates add striking sportiness to the exterior. Thanks to the many M features, the interior of the BMW M3 Competition sedan has a sporty, elegant appearance that is always driver-oriented. *M xDrive is expected to be available from summer 2021.
