BMW M3 Launch Date 2021, Pictures, News
BMW M3: Based on the recently redesigned 3-series sedan, this new supercar successfully resurrects the nameplate’s storied driver engagement. This company shows its commitment to that sentiment by continuing to provide a manual transmission, at least on the regular model. An eight-speed automatic is mandatory on the more powerful M3 Competition. Behind their prominent, albeit polarizing, the grille is a familiar twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six that makes between 473 and 503 horsepower.
The latter is reserved for the aforementioned Competition variant, which will be offered with all-wheel drive for the first time, but not until the 2022 model year.
Still, the 2021 M3 Competition further highlights the sports sedan’s performance potential with track-ready hardware that should terrify rivals such as the Alfa Romeo
Giulia Quadrifoglio and Mercedes-AMG C63.
Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG
The EPA estimates the 2021 M3 sedan will earn 16 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway. However, we haven’t run the Bimmer on our 75-mph highway fuel-economy route, which is part of our extensive testing regimen, so we can’t evaluate its real-world mpg.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
Besides unique “M” badging and distinct trim details, the M3 interior is basically the same as the regular 3-series. That means the M3 has the same design, passenger space, and outward visibility as its more pedestrian counterpart. While M cars are known for their heartier performance, they also meet or exceed the materials and build quality of the top-of-the-line 3-series. Of course, the M3 has more carbon fiber and microsuede accents for a racier aesthetic. The driver faces a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster that will switch to M View in the sportier drive modes; they are activated via prominent red buttons on the M3’s chunky steering wheel.
Switching to M View adds a shift indicator and replaces the regular tachometer with one that’s easier to read.
A set of heavily bolstered, lightweight front seats are available (standard on the Competition) and provide incredible support without sacrificing much comfort, although that might not ring true on long road trips.
Expected Launch Date
The is expected to launch in India in October 2021.
How Fast Is The 2021 BMW M3?
The M3 hits 60 mph from a standing start in 4.1 seconds. The M3 Competition is obviously quicker, needing 3.8 clicks to hit the same benchmark. Top speed is rated at the very German 155 mph, but adding the option M Driver’s Package raises the benchmark to 180 mph.
