Official German M3/M4 brochure available for download
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com PDF: http://www.bmw.com/com/en/newvehicle...?download=true Interactive: http://www.bmw.com/com/en/newvehicle...ue/index2.html German PDF: http://www.bmw.de/dam/brandBM/market...2975025706.pdf Interesting as it shows the Individual options. I like the azurite black colour! And Frozen colors expected in 2015. It also mentions that the M3 logo at the bottom of the door frame is illuminated, so either the showcars simply were not equipped with this light or its a mistake in the catalogue.

Thanks for posting this. Nice pictures, and nice sample swatches of the individual options.
It also makes me even more disappointed we don't get the Blue Shadow trim option in the US. It is a simple all-dark trim that would look great with the cloth/leather. Oh well, at least trim is easy to swap out, and as I've said before I can sell the CF trim. Anyone know why there is an item listed under both the standard and Individual trims under the heading "INTERIEURFARBEN" (Interior colors) and labeled simply "Schwartz" (Black)? What equipment is that referring to? It's not the trim or the upholstery since those are shown next to and above it. |

Nice find, thx!
It also shows 0-200 (0-125mph) time.... 13,6 (6MT) and 13,4 (DCT).

Germans among us, why is the M4 introduced as:
"Das neue BMW M4 coupe" ... yet the M3 as: "Die neue BMW M3 Limousine"? I can understand why the sedan would be considered to be the more feminine of the two, and deserving of the feminine tag "die", but why isn't the M4 not "Der neue M4" instead of the neutral "das"? Perhaps BMW should be alerted to its faulty use of German?

My CarTest physics based simulation nailed this at 13.4 s for the M-DCT. No fudging or curve fitting. Although the predictions for the time to distance at the very low distances are a bit off, the prediction for the standing 1km is also spot on at 21.8 vs. 21.9 claimed.

Nice work! I am slightly puzzled though- the official BMW press release for the M5 states a standing km time of 21.9sec for the F10 M5 which would suggest that the M3/4 will be just as fast to this benchmark however the 13.4 sec quoted to 200kph for the M3/4 is a lot slower than the F10 M5 which has been tested by sport auto at 11.7 sec and other magazines still below 12 sec.

Observations on the published acceleration numbers in the brochure:
The same 0.2s difference is quoted between DCT and 6MT on both the 0-100km/h and 0-200km/h. Due to much faster shifts of the DCT, I would have expected the gap to widen with the extra shifts needed to get to 200km/h. Any thoughts why? Extra weight of the DCT? The DCT is shown to be slower by 0.1s on one of the 80-120km/h pick-up numbers (5th gear?), thoughts to why that is? Gear Ratio? Weight? (EDIT: 5th gear and FD are the same between 6MT and DCT, so weight and more losses can be the only culprit ) Last edited by CanAutM3; 02-27-2014 at 07:01 PM.. |

What I find interesting in the M5 stats you posted is the 0-120km/h pick-up numbers. The M3/4 trumps the M5 in both 4th and 5th gear Last edited by CanAutM3; 02-22-2014 at 06:06 AM.. |

As for the in gear acceleration- the only reason I can think of for this is that the M3 has a higher torque/weight ratio than the M5 which I believe it does. Regardless it looks like the new cars will be noticeably faster than the E9x and possibly in E60 M5 straight line speed league?!

In gear acceleration performance can and in some cases/gears should be better than F10 M5 because of the significantly lower weight of the M3/M4. I think all numbers make good sense. The stock M3/M4 performance level is in line with a FBO tuned 1M, which has similar engine fundamentals with less power in stock form but almost identical weight. This last detail is amazing; such a bigger car with same weight! The only thing I wished for the 1M was it should be around 100 kg. lighter. Apparently that might be achieved with the next M2.

I think you could be right. BMW regularly understate their performance figures and engine outputs. I think the 1M just missed out on the BMW diet that has been implemented on their new cars- M2 should be a real lightweight , 1400kg or less would be nice.

Exactly, that being said BMW has quoted some of these times officially as well. In some cases the numbers are extremely conservative and in others they are more like best possible times. Inconsistency from BMW is not too surprising but is disappointing...
