2015 BMW M3 Sedan (F80) Official Specs, Wallpapers, Videos, Photos, Info

dvk92 · 12-11-2013, 06:57 PM

Anyone else notice how much better the 'boomerang' is on the M3/4 than the 3/4ers. They got it right. I picked up my MG 435 this week and can't wait until I can get my hands on some body-coloured ones.

There has been no pricing for the U.S. announced yet. That will come later.

I believe it's 425HP which is 431PS

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes the sedan (M3) definitely looks nicer than the coupe (M4.) If I don't end up in a 991 4S in the next year or so I think the M3 will be for me (yes they're different cars but both in the running for me given trade-offs of everyday utility and occasional track ability.)

How did you come to that conclusion?

"Different selectable drive modes feature different engine sound profiles"

If you know what you're doing, you'll keep it in S85 mode at all times.

Joking aside, the new cars look great in all aspects.

Jockey · 12-11-2013, 07:04 PM

Well, great job BMW, you convinced me of my next car. Amazing job!

I had written off YMB, but damn it looks good

mstmng · 12-11-2013, 07:10 PM

m3 FTW!

All that aside, this car is properly awesome.

Bad info given out or reported from the M3/M4 press workshop.

ihc95 · 12-11-2013, 07:13 PM

Interesting that they use the same headlights for the M3 as in the M4, just like the E90 and E92 M3.

Longboarder · 12-11-2013, 07:13 PM

I've got a hard-on for the sedan

Tiago@VRSF · 12-11-2013, 07:13 PM

This is very exciting, great coverage guys!

Desert_Fox · 12-11-2013, 07:18 PM

I'm definitely going to consider a Porsche or Audi for my next car. That power output seems pretty weak, and I just hate how ugly the designers have made the front end of these things. The hood line and headlights are just awful... It's sad to see the company's better days behind it when Audi and Mercedes are pumping out more interesting cars to compete with

Sedan_Clan · 12-11-2013, 07:21 PM

The sedan looks so muscular! YSB looks good too.

nizer · 12-11-2013, 07:23 PM

M3 on order. Long live the manual trans.

Dealer launch guides state 2014 model and this announcement says 2015 for customer orders

My final exams have just taken a back seat.

Wow, they did all this and left the rear lamp with incandescent bulb.

stealth.pilot · 12-11-2013, 07:32 PM

BMW can put full leather in an M3, but Audi can't do it on an RS7. Shame on Ingolstadt.

Glory to Garching.

Prissy · 12-11-2013, 07:33 PM

Love both cars... but I do like the M3 a lot more than the M4!
