How does the 2024 BMW M3 drive?
Our expert take on BMW M3 drivability.
Power comes from a 375kW and 650Nm 3.0-litre M TwinPower turbo inline-six using an M-specific exhaust with movable flaps, mated to an eight-speed M Steptronic automatic and variable (but rear-biased) AWD with a rear diff.
Acceleration from zero to 100km/h takes 3.6 seconds, one-tenth slower than the marginally lighter sedan.
Separate to the sedan, the M3 Touring development program included tuning at BMW Group’s Miramas facility in the south of France; winter testing in Arjeplog, Sweden; and obviously high speed work at the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
Dynamically, BMW claims the chassis tuning creates “an ideal balance of sports performance and smooth ride comfort in everyday use and over longer-distance journeys”.
The M3 Touring has more stiffening struts at the rear axle; new spring, damper and anti-roll bar setups both front and rear; and specific tuning for suspension, steering, and ESP systems.
The adaptive M suspension uses electronically controlled shocks, while the M Servotronic steering has a variable ratio.
The braking system offers two settings for pedal feel, and optional M Carbon ceramic brakes can be ordered. A range of forged M light-alloy wheel designs – 19-inch for the front and 20-inch for the rear – are standard equipment.
