BMW Group Middle East has announced that its highly-anticipated M3 Sedan will arrive in the region in April.
"With its superior power, performance and dynamism, the new BMW M3 ensures truly unique sheer driving pleasure of the highest calibre," said Phil Horton, managing director, BMW Group Middle East.
"The new BMW M3 is destined to take pole position with aficionados when it arrives in the region. The new, 309 kW/420 hp V8 power unit offers enormous muscle and performance and the aesthetic design so typical of the BMW M spells out its supremacy on the racetrack."
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-metres as well as maximum engine speed of 8,400 rpm.
Acceleration to 100 km/h comes in just 4.8 seconds, and the car continues this performance 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.
