BMW M3 Coupe Car Review in India
The BMW M (Motorsport) was initially created to facilitate BMW's racing program in the 1960s and 1970s. For years, the M has seen grand success in racing venues across the world and has bloomed in the growing market for high performance sports cars.
The BMW M3 Coupe is the latest in the M Series cars to arrive in India. The car is based on BMW's popular 3 Series sedan and comes with a modified engine, suspension, interior trim, aerodynamics and exterior styling. It is designed purely to thrill people who are looking for a high-performance sports car. The coupe comes with a lightweight body and has a very powerful engine. It has been tried and tested on some of the toughest proving grounds in the world.
The BMW M3 Coupe competes with the Audi TT Coupe in India.The M3 Coupe derives power from a 4.0-litre V8 engine that has a maximum output of 420 bhp@8400 rpm and a peak torque of 400 Nm@3900 rpm. A 6-speed manual gearbox ensures optimum transmission of engine power resulting in smooth acceleration on demand. It offers super-fast, super-precise gear shifts every time.
The coupe's lightweight body construction enables it to be very dynamic in movement and the perfect 50/50 weight distribution of the car at the front and rear provides great stability. Its high performance braking system reacts quickly and effectively to the driver. The lightweight braking system is composed of high-performance compound disc brakes that provide excellent braking even under wet weather conditions.
The 'M Dynamic Mode' feature when engaged, allows the driver to push the car to the limits without having to worry about losing control. In this mode, the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system automatically steps in to bring the car under control if it seems to be slipping.
The BMW M3 Coupe has an incredibly lightweight yet strong carbon roof and an unmatched 'M' chassis. The car rides on double-spoke 18-inch alloy wheels that provide an extremely sporty look. Even sportier multi-spoke 19-inch alloy wheels are available as an option. High speed tyres deliver amazing performance and stability on the toughest of roads. Body coloured bumpers with large air dams on the front bumper ensure that the powerful engine is cooled fast and efficiently. They also enhance the sporty appeal of the coupe.
The car gets bright xenon headlamps that come with automatic range control, four corona rings and a headlight washing system. The automatic range control system prevents dazzling of oncoming traffic by the headlights. A great feature that makes driving even safer are the Adaptive Headlights which are an optional feature on the coupe. In these headlights, sensors measure the car's speed and steering movement to automatically shift lighting focus in the direction of the road ahead. This feature is particularly useful around corners and sharp turns in the road.
The interior of the Coupe is highly driver-oriented. The design and layout of the dashboard and controls are suited for driver's convenience. Available interior trim options are: Titanium Shadow, Brushed Aluminum Shadow, Black Carbon-look leather and high-floss fine-wood Sycamore grain anthracite. The driver and front passenger M sport seats are electrically adjustable and the driver's seat comes with a memory function to store seat position settings. Standard upholstery is a fine combination of cloth and leather. A fully premium Novillo leather interior upholstery can be added at an extra cost.
The automatic air conditioning system on the M3 Coupe includes fogging and solar sensors that detect cabin conditions and heat or cool the cabin automatically. The M leather steering wheel comes with multifunction buttons for the driver's convenience. On-board entertainment equipment includes a Hi-Fi LOGIC7 5-channel professional audio system.
The airbags system includes driver and front passenger airbags, head airbags at the front and rear, and side airbags integrated into the seat for driver and the front passenger. The front passenger front airbag comes with a seat occupancy detector. All airbags are controlled by a perfectly calibrated safety electronics system which ensures that each airbag is inflated to the correct degree in case an accident occurs. Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system and all wheel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) provide additional safety. An alarm system with remote control is available for the BMW M3 Coupe.
