2022 BMW M3 Competition xDrive
Description
Key Points: M Carbon Ceramic Brakes, Isle Of Man Green Metallic Exterior Paint.
The BMW M3 Competition is a more versatile and rounded variant of the potent German saloon, equipped with a new twin-turbocharged six-cylinder engine.
Under the bonnet is the ‘S58’ twin-turbocharged straight-six first used in the X3 M SUV. In the standard M3 it develops 473bhp, while in the M3 Competition, the only version available in the UK, power climbs to 503bhp. A six-speed manual gearbox is found on the standard cars, but Competition variants are equipped with a ZF eight-speed automatic torque converter.
On base M3s, the wheels are 18-inches at the front and 19-inches at the rear, growing to 19 and 20-inches respectively on Competition models. It features a new M Traction control system, which allows the driver to set the system to one of 10 positions which dictate how much slip is allowed at the rear axle.
