The M3 Coupe and M3 Sedan, arriving at BMW retailers on March 8th, will debut with MSRPs of $71,300 and $69,900, respectively. The M3 Cabriolet, with an MSRP of $81,900, will find its way into BMW showrooms on May 17th.
The highly anticipated fourth-generation M3’s will share the same light-alloy, high-revving V-8 engine, producing 414 hp at 8,300 rpm and 295 pound-feet of torque at 3,900 rpm with 85 percent of the maximum torque available consistently through 6,500 rpm. This power output represents a 17% |
increase over the six-cylinder from the last generation M3 yet the new engine weighs 7% less and consumes 8% less fuel than its predecessor.
All M3 variants will transmit power to the rear wheels through a close-ratio, oil-cooled six-speed manual gearbox, via a twin-disc clutch and Variable M Differential Lock rear axle. Equipped with six-speed manual transmission, the 2008 M3 Coupe storms from 0-100 km/h in 4.8 seconds, the M3 Sedan a “tick” later at 4.9 seconds even, and the M3 Cabriolet simultaneously rockets from 0-100 km/h in just 5.3 seconds.

| A brand new, race-bred, 7-speed Double-Clutch transmission with Drivelogic will also be offered as an option on all M3 models. The fourth-generation automated manual gearbox developed specifically for the M3, features eleven electronically controlled driving programs – five in automatic mode and six in manual mode. The smoothest and quickest M3 gearbox yet helps to propel the potent new M3 trio, when equipped, from 0-100 km/h in a blistering 4.6, 4.7 and 5.1 seconds, respectively, in the M3 Coupe, M3 Sedan and M3 Cabriolet.

The 2008 BMW M3 stable, in either drivetrain variation, are the highest-performing M3s ever offered by BMW’s M division, setting new performance benchmarks once again.
As M heritage dictates, the potent thrust of the new M3 is matched in all variants with all-new chassis design featuring unprecedented levels of torsional rigidity, all-new suspension with forged aluminum track control arms and a plethora of other purpose-designed lightweight components, bringing a new level of handling dynamics to the new M3 family. The optional Electronic Damper Control features three selectable control maps: Sport, Normal and Comfort, allow the driver to tailor the vehicle’s chassis dynamics to his or her preference and even store the preferred |
setting to the available steering-wheel-mounted “MDrive” button for quick access.
As expected, the most competent M3 chassis’ yet are complemented by equally competent high-performance brake systems with massive, cross-drilled ventilated compound brake discs, producing track-worthy deceleration capability.
When the driver is done enjoying the symphony of eight cylinders, the sumptuous and functional interior comes standard with the powerful LOGIC 7 sound system with 13 speakers (11 speakers in the M3 Cabriolet). For serious audiophiles, an all-new BMW Individual Audio System is available as an option. Featuring 16 speakers with rigid HexaCone® diaphragms and neodymium magnets driven by a 9-channel, 825 watt digital amplifier (12 speakers and 675w amplifier in the M3 Cabriolet). The system also includes DIRAC Live™ Technology - used exclusively in an automotive application by BMW – ensuring a perfectly timed sound experience in all seats.
The 2008 BMW M3 family of thoroughbreds is poised to transcend their legendary predecessors and redefine the benchmark for ultra-performance Coupes, Sedans and Cabriolets. |
