The all-new "heart" of the latest BMW M3 is the eight-cylinder power unit which, through its high-speed engine concept alone, comes with all the DNA of the current Formula 1 engine raced by the BMW Sauber F1 Team.
Applying this high-speed concept characteristic of all BMW M power units, the new V8 develops maximum output of 309 kW/420 hp from engine capacity of precisely 3,999 cc. Further equally impressive factors are the engine's peak torque of 400 Newton-meters as well as maximum engine speed of 8, 400 rpm.
Truly unprecedented, the thrust and pulling force generated through this unique potential conveys the supreme power of the engine through the variable M differential lock to the rear wheels. Acceleration to 100 km/h comes in just 4.8 seconds, and the car continues this exceptional performance with fascinating consistency all the way to its top speed of 250 km/h, where the engine electronics set an artificial limit to the ongoing power and performance of the new BMW M3.
