Five generations within 30 years.

Five generations within 30 years.
The birth of a high-performance icon.
24.05.2016

When it developed a high-performance sports car based on the BMW 3 Series, BMW was really just trying to find a way into the DTM. The successes of this fascinating cross-breeding of sedan and motor sport genes were, however, overwhelming on numerous levels.

Right in the very first season, the BMW M3 dominated the Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft (German Touring Car Championship), including overall championship victory. And the sales figures of the first-generation BMW M3 with its 200 HP four-cylinder also exceeded all expectations. BMW recognised the potential. From this point on each additional generation reinforced the BMW legend:

In the second generation which launched in 1992, the raised rear spoiler and its broad nose enhanced the significantly more discrete appearance of the BMW M3 based on the E36. With 286 HP from an inline six-cylinder, it was no less powerful, but its appearance made it more of a wolf in sheep's clothing than a muscleman.

The third-generation BMW M3 was based on the E36 and went even further to conceal its power reserves. And rightly so, as with its high-rev engine it blasted the 300 HP record by 43 HP.

Derived from the V10 of the BMW M5 (E60) from 2007, in the fourth generation a V8 with four-litre cylinder capacity and an impressive 420 HP then admirably performed its duty in a BMW M3. It rapidly achieved cult status with its high-rev character, sharp throttle response and goosebumps-inducing sound in a top quality athletic body.

The fifth BMW M3 generation has continued the tradition of high performance sports cars since 2014, and represents the high point to date in dynamics and power. This is thanks in particular to its M TwinPower Turbo inline six-cylinder with up to 450 HP. Powerdome and expansive air inlets on the outside also unmistakably pay testament to its claim to the top.

In 30 years of BMW M3, each of the five BMW M3 generations has embodied the very best in technical ability. With the goal of overriding the laws of physics vis-a-vis dynamics and agility. Redefining boundaries. Raising standards for high-performance cars. Goals that have made the BMW M3 what it is today: an icon of automotive engineering and synonym for "high-performance sports car".

Exclusive special edition of the BMW M3: '30 Years M3'.
BMW M celebrates the 30th anniversary of its benchmark-setting high-performance sports car.

How do we pay homage to an icon like the BMW M3, perfected continuously over five generations? By fusing uncompromising driving dynamic and unique exclusivity. With the most stylish feature details of BMW Individual Manufaktur and the performance and technical finesse of the Competition Package. In short: With the "30 Jahre M3" special edition limited to 500 units worldwide.

The "30 Jahre M3" special edition demonstrates the unrivalled performance of BMW M and the expertise surrounding BMW Individual Manufaktur's unmistakable exclusivity.

The exterior in Macao Blue metallic is reminiscent of the first BMW M3 in the same colour based on the E30. The BMW kidney grille, the M gill, the model badge on the rear in high-gloss Black, the M sports exhaust system with Black chrome tailpipes and the exclusive "30 Jahre M3" logo in the gills underscore the especially sporty character of this exceptional vehicle.

The "30 Jahre M3" special edition continues the dynamism of the suspension design in the interior: High-tech materials such as carbon, lightweight M sport seats, BMW Individual full fine-grain Merino leather in Bicolor design and perfected craftsmanship refinement details of BMW Individual Manufaktur underscore the exclusivity of this coveted anniversary model.

The BMW M3 “30 Years M3” features an exclusive full leather Merino trim in bi-colour Black/Fjord Blue or optionally in Black Silverstone with colour-matching contrast seams that effectively underscore the anniversary model’s sporty and sophisticated character.

The various references to the special status of this automotive highlight are indicators of the attention to detail and aesthetic demand of BMW Individual Manufaktur.

The "30 Jahre M3" logo in the doorsill finishers, the headrests and the Carbon fibre interior trims, for example. A further special feature is the BMW Individual instrument panel finished in leather with colour-matching contrast seams.

Technically, the "30 Jahre M3" special edition surpasses all BMW M3s to date thanks to the Competition Package: Adapted sprin, dampers and anti-roll bars, optimised loop tuning of the Active M Differential and increasing the performance of the M TwinPower Turbo inline six-cylinder to a breath-taking 450 HP ensure legendary driving dynamism and performance.

It hits the 100 km/h mark in just 4.0 seconds and has an impressive top speed of 280 km/h with the optional M Driver's Package. Numbers that we otherwise only see in pure-bred racing cars – and now in the "30 Jahre M3" special edition as well.
Compared with the BMW M3 with Competition Package, the additional cost of the anniversary model is €10,000 incl. VAT in Germany. Market launch is scheduled for the summer of 2016 – this being exactly 30 years after the signing of the first contract for the purchase of a BMW M3.
