BMW M3 Sedan and Convertible Debut in the Middle East in May
Fourth generation M3 to feature 4.0-litre V8 and 420 hp output Dubai, UAE. The new BMW M3 Sedan and Convertible will mark its debut in the region in May, BMW Group Middle East confirmed today.
The powerful Sedan and Convertible features a highly tuned 4.0-litre V8, the first for an M3, and produces an astonishing 420 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque at 8,400rpm. The M3 propels from 0-100 km/h |
in just 4.9 seconds, up to an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h.
“BMW has raised its performance benchmark with the introduction of the 2008 M3 Sedan and Convertible setting new standards while remaining first and foremost a BMW M3 in its character,” said Phil Horton, Managing Director, BMW Group Middle East.
“The M3 Sedan is a car developed and built with the mission to convey the most demanding motorsport technology to everyday traffic, offering unique sheer driving pleasure in the process. |

“We expect a very high level of interest for the M3 Sedan and Convertible similar to the excellent response we received for the Coupe version last year. The new M3 is nothing short of spectacular, which is a reflection of the previous generation’s popularity in the region. We are confident that the M3 will enjoy the same success story of its predecessors,” continued Horton.
The M3 Sedan is also a grand tourer, with space for up to five occupants, and owes its supreme driving dynamics to the new eight-cylinder power unit which, through its high engine speed concept |
|
|
alone, offers all the DNA of the current BMW Sauber F1 power unit.
The new Variable M Differential Lock generates up to 100 per cent locking action with fully variable action whenever required thus ensuring optimum traction on all road surfaces. The Variable M Differential Lock responds to differences in speed between the right and left rear wheel, a solution ideally supplementing the positive qualities of rear-wheel drive.
Safety is also a major element of the M3 Sedan, with a variety of systems integrated in the vehicle, ranging from Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), ABS anti-lock brakes, ASC Automatic Stability Control, CBC Cornering Brake Control, |
| as well as six airbags, belt latch tensioners and belt force limiters. |
