2022 BMW M3 Base

The 2022 BMW M3 Sedan 4D represents a pivotal, highly acclaimed model year for BMW s iconic high-performance sports sedan, marking the debut of the available M xDrive all-wheel-drive system on the sixth-generation (G80) platform. Built on an ultra-rigid chassis with aluminum subframes, additional underbody bracing, and a lightweight carbon-fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) roof, the G80 M3 combines track-ready motorsport engineering with four-door executive practicality and daily usability.Under the sculpted aluminum hood with dual character lines lies BMW M s 3.0-liter BMW M TwinPower Turbocharged DOHC 24-valve Inline 6-cylinder engine (S58). This high-revving motorsport powerplant is offered in two distinct output tunes:Standard M3 (Manual): Produces 473 horsepower at 6,250 RPM and 406 lb-ft of torque available from 2,650 to 6,130 RPM, paired exclusively with a purist 6-speed manual transmission with Gear Shift Assistant and sending power strictly to the rear wheels (RWD). It launches from 0 to 60 MPH in 4.1 seconds.M3 Competition: Produces 503 horsepower at 6,250 RPM and 479 lb-ft of torque from 2,750 to 5,500 RPM, paired exclusively with an 8-speed M Steptronic automatic transmission with Drivelogic and paddle shifters. Available in standard RWD (0 to 60 MPH in 3.8 seconds) or the newly introduced M xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive system featuring rear-biased 4WD, 4WD Sport, and pure 2WD rear-wheel-drive drift modes, launching the M3 Competition xDrive from 0 to 60 MPH in a blistering 3.4 seconds on its way to a top track speed of 180 MPH (with M Driver's Package).On the exterior, the G80 M3 executes an aggressive, wide-body stance defined by a frameless full-height vertical BMW kidney grille, large lower air intakes for cooling, flared wheel arches, signature M side gills with integrated badging, aerodynamic M exterior mirrors, a rear diffuser housing quad 100mm exhaust tailpipes, and a subtle rear lip spoiler. Functional exterior features include Full LED headlights with available BMW Laserlight, rain-sensing windshield wipers, carbon-fiber roof, power-folding heated side mirrors, and a staggered rolling setup featuring 18-inch front / 19-inch rear M light alloy wheels on the standard M3, or 19-inch front / 20-inch rear forged M wheels on Competition models wrapped in high-performance summer tires.Inside, the driver-centric cockpit welcomes up to five occupants into a high-grade sanctuary lined with Extended Merino Leather upholstery and aluminum or carbon-fiber interior trim accents. The layout features 14-way power heated M sport seats with illuminated M logos (or optional ultra-lightweight M Carbon Bucket Seats), M leather steering wheel with red M1/M2 drive mode buttons, Three-Zone Automatic Climate Control, dynamic ambient lighting, proximity keyless entry with push-button start, and 40/20/40 split-folding rear seatbacks. Digital connectivity centers around the iDrive 7.0 infotainment system featuring a 10.25-inch central touchscreen display accompanied by a 12.3-inch digital M instrument cluster and available Head-Up Display with M-specific view modes. Features include wireless Apple CarPlay , wireless Android Auto , M Drive Professional (including M Drift Analyzer and M Laptimer), Navigation, SiriusXM , wireless device charging, and a studio-quality 16-speaker 464-watt Harman Kardon Surround Sound System.Practicality and daily spatial allocation remain strong points for the G80 platform thanks to its long 112.5-inch wheelbase. Opening the power trunk lid reveals 13.0 cubic feet of flat cargo trunk space. Utilizing the quick-release levers to collapse the 40/20/40 split rear seatbacks flat expands total storage capacity, allowing longer luggage sets, track gear, or equipment packages to extend flat into the rear passenger cabin.Backed by a 15.6-gallon fuel tank, the 3.0L Twin-Turbo Inline-6 achieves an EPA-estimated 16 MPG city and 23 MPG highway for manual and rear-wheel-drive models (16/22 MPG for Competition xDrive). Safety is top-tier, backed by an ultra-high-strength steel passenger safety cell. The vehicle comes factory-equipped with Active Driving Assistant (Forward Collision Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Warning, Speed Limit Info), Active Blind Spot Detection, Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) including M Dynamic Mode (MDM), 10-stage M Traction Control, 4-wheel compound ventilated disc brakes (with optional M Carbon Ceramic Brakes), tire pressure monitoring (TPMS), available Driving Assistance Professional Package (Extended Traffic Jam Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go), and a comprehensive multi-stage 8-airbag protection canopy network spanning both rows to guarantee total driving confidence across highway cruising and track sessions alike.window.__CF$cv$params={r:'a36a92d69cd57bc9',t:'MTc4ODY2NzI5OA==',u:'01a074e10a5b7091a4d94d47a816114e',ut:'SnGsUbso5Wla2Jg9iJcNROgTluPQkVvLIFIs5QKsgkA-1788667300-1.2.1.1-foIGgMtTau_t9RzVsSXpSq.CvEqXrT7U9Ml6UoAprRGf1ydYxVcQ6Wws01nzMrYgwPcP4YJ0ykMW2_MZWjRtzy26kDcp1lzLcUFu7vjD7BA',i:60};(function(){if(!document.body)return;var s=document.createElement('script');s.src='/cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/scripts/precursor/main.js';document.head.appendChild(s);})();
