Iconic four-door gets raft of performance-focused upgrades, subtle styling tweaks and drops RWD variant
BMW has given the M3 Competition a series of performance and technology upgrades as part of a mid-life facelift which includes more power, subtle styling tweaks and chassis upgrades. Powered by the same 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged straight six as before - codenamed B58 - the Mercedes-AMG C63 S rival receives a 20bhp power boost thanks to an ECU remap, so it now produces 523bhp and 479lb ft. Because the M3 is now exclusively four-wheel-drive, the Competition variant is now the only one available.
Outside, the new M3 features a range of subtle styling revisions including new arrow-shaped LED headlight designs, new alloy designs split into 19in sets at the front and 20in sets at the rear, as well as new colours for the wheels themselves, and redesigned M3 badging. Revisions inside are more extensive, and include the introduction of the brand's latest iDrive infotainment system which it shares with the new 3 Series.
