They also extend the boundaries for the driver, making what was once thought impossible, possible - when man and machine become one.
The M TwinPower Turbo delivers the best of both worlds: a high-revving concept with up to 7 600rpm and highly efficient power delivery: with peak torque of 550Nm and output of 317kW readily at your command. With the optional seven-speed M double-clutch transmission, it takes 4,1sec to reach 100km/h; 200km/h arrives 9,3sec later it is claimed.
The overall concept, now in its fifth generation, has reached a new peak of technical perfection. And you will feel the results from the word go.
A BMW M vehicle is a natural leader - and conspicuously so. The aerodynamic M design is one of many attributes with which the new BMW M4 Coupé and M3 Sedan show their superiority at the leading edge.
The Air Breather and M gills on the flanks optimise air resistance. The intercooler beneath the characteristic powerdome is part of a race-grade cooling system that always guarantees the ideal temperature of the engine, turbocharger and transmission.
The front apron with its large air intakes also contributes here.
The spoiler integrated into the tailgate serves to further reduce lift values. And from the black carbon roof to the distinctive forged M light alloy wheels, every detail is focused on one goal - totally immersive driving dynamics right through to the limits.
Start of retail for the new BMW M3 Sedan and BMW M4 Coupe is planned for July 2014 in SA.
