This brand new car is a beast! It is a continuation to all the other M3s and it does not seem to disappoint anybody with its upgraded V8 engine that puts out a total of 420hp. That is a huge increase from the last M3 that "only" had 330hp. But this awesome car does have so tough competition just to name a few: Lexus IS-F, Audi RS5, and the Mercedes CLK63 AMG. But with its killer looks and asphalt-burning performance I am sure that it will do just fine.
Now about the specifications; the motor is a 4.0L V8 putting out 414hp and a 295 lb-ft at 3,900 rpm. BMW put the lightest V8 engine in this car and surprisingly it is even 30 pounds lighter than the previous inline-6! Apart from making the engine lighter, BMW added a lot of carbon fiber in many parts of the car to decease the weight as much as possible, especially to the new aerodynamic features such as the body kit and the new air intakes. The M3’s suspension has 3 different riding styles which include Normal, Comfort, and of coarse Sports!
This car has some of the newest technology out there. This BMW come with the Mdrive option which is only offered in BMW’s M vehicles. This device is used for the driver to customize his or her own way combination of preferences by simply pushing a button. This M3 has certainly been a gigantic improvement from all the other M3s and it will be a challenge to outperform this one.
In my personal opinion this car is flawless, well that is I haven’t driven it yet but I am sure I will not be disappointed when I do drive this baby (yeah right!). The only thing is that we will all have to wait till next year, but if you are really interested in this car I suggest you reserve one now because sooner then later they will be all gone. As a conclusion, we who adore every single M3 that has been made, think that this is a beautiful piece of machinery. So with that a sum up my first blog ever! Oh and btw if I ever do drive it I will come straight here to tell you guys all about it! For a little extra imformation and pictures of the new M3 click here.

This is not a major flaw of the car, but I don't think it has a good amount of torque. Horsepower is good to have, but torque is fairly important too.
The new M3 is still fast, but you don't get that "pull" when you give it throttle with low torque.
I might be wrong, but the full power of the engine is only available in high revs, which kills the mileage... but since its not a car for mileage in the first place who cares right? :)
