Recently, we obtained the latest official spy photos of the BMW M3 travel version from relevant channels. It is reported that the new car will be equipped with a powertrain composed of a 3.0T engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission, and will be officially unveiled in 2022.
In terms of appearance, the front face of the new car adopts the same vertical grille design as the new 4 series, and the overall effect is very exaggerated and eye-catching; the upper hood has added a lot of polyline design compared with the ordinary version, which further highlights its sporty characteristics. The LED headlights on both sides of the front are narrow and sophisticated, and adaptive LED headlights with BMW Laserlight are optionally available.
The side can be seen close to the wheel brow suspension height and the front four rear two brake sets and the M sports kit (including: carbon fiber front lip, side skirt, small tail, exclusive M exterior mirrors, rear diffuser and two sides of the exhaust, etc.), which undoubtedly proves that this is still the M Power setting we are familiar with. In the hub part, the new car uses an exclusive customized M power multi-spoke sports rim.
At the rear, the taillight group of the new car also adopts BMW's latest 3D suspension style, with a flexible shape of the red light strip inside, and the rear surround is equipped with air vents for brake heat dissipation on both sides, equipped with a large black tail lip, rear spoiler and bilateral four-out exhaust system.
In terms of power, referring to the new BMW M3, it is expected that the new car will also be equipped with the S58 3.0T twin-turbo straight six engine that has been used on the BMW X3 M and X4 M, and its maximum power is expected to be 375kW (510PS), and the gearbox is matched with the 8-speed M Steptronic gearbox. The official announcement of the new car's acceleration time from 100 kilometers is 3.9 seconds. In terms of drive form, in addition to pure rear-wheel drive, a four-wheel drive version has also been added.
