BMW is introducing its all-new M3 Competition and M4 Competition Coupe to the South African market.
Both models are now available for purchase in Mzansi and both employ an S58 twin-turbo 3.0-litre inline-six engine with 375 kW and 650 Nm of torque.
An 8-speed M Steptronic with drivelogic and three shift programs transmission sends power to the rear axle giving both models a 3.9 seconds sprint from a standstill to 100 km/h. If you want the M xDrive variants, you better exercise some patients because they will only be touching down in SA in the fourth quarter of the year.
The M xDrive links up with Active M Differential, rear-wheel-biased setup, three selectable modes: 4WD, 4WD Sport and 2WD for pure rear‑wheel drive and deactivated stability control.
Offered as standard is an adaptive M suspension with electronically controlled shock absorbers and M Servotronic steering with variable ratio. M Carbon ceramic brakes can be had as an option while M Compound stoppers are offered as standard.
There is Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) including M Dynamic Mode and, for the first time, integrated wheel slip limitation and M Traction Control adjustable through ten stages. The M3 and M4 Competition models with M xDrive feature 19-inch tyres in front and 20-inch at the back. The performance tyres are optional.
The interior is bolstered with electrically adjustable M sport seats as well as fine-grain Merino leather. M Carbon bucket seats are offered at an extra charge.
There’s also three-zone automatic climate control, LED interior lighting plus the brand’s Live Cockpit Professional that allows Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Connectivity.
For the first time, there is an M Race Track Package that sheds 25 kg thanks to the features such as M Carbon ceramic brakes, special M light-alloy wheels and M Carbon bucket seats.
In terms of the safety system, BMW has expanded the selection to include; Park Distance Control, Front Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning and Speed Limit Info fitted as standard.
