Aerodynamics



Wind power.
The aerodynamics of the new BMW M3 Coupé.
The optimised aerodynamics in the BMW M3 Coupé ensures that downforce is both cooled and increased at the same time. The left opening near the powerdome channels additional air to the intake air plenum. The M rear apron with diffuser ensures controlled airflow along the car’s underbody. And the M front air dam with integrated air inlets cools the engine. The result? Added downforce for added thrills.

Desain Interior



Designed with drivers in mind.
The interior of the new BMW M3 Coupé.
Driving pleasure starts in the driving seat. This is why the interior of the BMW M3 Coupé has been designed with the person sitting behind the M steering wheel in mind. The trademark dual M circular dials, the M design iDrive Controller, the ergonomically optimised M seat with memory function, the innovative carbon structure leather trim. All these features combine to create an ambience that is designed to make drivers feel good - and inspired to take control.

Desain Exterior



The beauty of dynamics
The exterior of the new BMW M3 Coupé.With a vehicle as powerful and dynamic as this, styling is never an aim in itself. Form will always be driven by functional considerations. The expressive front is designed to accommodate the V8 high-rev engine. The muscular rear allows for the wider track and four tailpipes. Even the shape of the exterior mirrors adds to the overall aerodynamics. Only the interplay of all these measures ensures the desired effect: sports car performance that is ideally suited to everyday driving.

The new BMW M3 Coupé.The fourth generation - 20 years and still designed to thrill. The new BMW M3 Coupé continues the tradition of the M GmbH to build a perfect high-performance sports car. It comes with a completely new V8 engine and drivetrain, a lightweight body that is also extremely stiff, a lowered centre of gravity and a carbon roof which, while just as strong as a steel roof, weighs far less. And of course, everything has been tried and tested on the toughest proving ground in the world, the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
