M3s are also available in three different body types ; the sedan, the coupe, and the convertible body styles.
the first ever M3, the E30 M3, was produced in 1986. Heavily based totally on the E30 platform, a beefing up of similar specs with the engine design from the M1 was adopted to achieve an impressive performance fit for motorsports. A road version of the M3 was also released with less h.p. along with an increased compression and a catalyzed model that approximately produces only 215 h.p..
A V8 high-rev engine is used by the M3 Coupe to provide top of the line sports auto performance. Improved aerodynamics is also a main feature not just for the coupe but to all M3 body types. A regular release of the road versions of the sports auto was followed to follow the homologation rules set. Different models from specifically released models to updated versions of sports to road versions are continually being released.
The newly released M3 now has the intuitive iDrive installed that can control anything on the M3. The driver seat is also optimized with memory function which enables the driver to take straightforward full control of the vehicle. Down force is improved through the optimized aerodynamics of the M3. Controlled airflow under the vehicles body makes the M3 increase its down force together with its cooling capabilities.
