Overview
The full M version of the G20 3 Series is powered by the BMW S58 turbocharged straight-six engine that debuted in the G01 X3 M. The more notable changes for the G80 M3 are a power output of 473 hp, which is a 35 kW (47 hp; 47 hp) increase over the previous F80 M3, and the adoption of the twin-kidney grille from the 4 Series, which was notably controversial among critics. All-wheel drive (xDrive) is optional on the new M3, the first time that an M3 has used a drivetrain layout other than rear-wheel drive. A manual gearbox is available only with rear wheel drive, and is the only transmission available on the standard M3 model.
M Performance Parts
M performance parts can be fitted to all models. These include a wing, carbon fibre side skirts, an M Performance exhaust system, canards, a carbon fibre splitter, a carbon fibre diffuser, as well as rear ground effects.
Motorsport
Originally an April Fools' Day joke made by BMW in a social media post in 2025, overwhelmingly positive reception from internet users convinced BMW to proceed with the idea of developing a racing version of the M3 Touring model. Nearly a year later on 16 March 2026, BMW formally unveiled the M3 Touring 24H online, sharing images of the car both in studio and on track completing a shakedown.
