BMW has revealed a redesigned edition of the M3 that comes with more power and several new body components. The first units will be delivered to the owners in a few months (July).

The redesigned M3 is equipped with new LED headlight housings with new graphics for the daytime running lights and direction indicators, slightly different air flow openings in the front bumper, a redesigned badging on the trunk lid and new 825M reinforced aluminum wheels that will also be available in light gray.

The cabin is covered in leather, with many aluminum and carbon accessories. It is equipped with a multifunctional steering wheel that can be covered with leather or Alcantara, a new digital instrument panel, and an improved multimedia system in a new case with the latest software version, and greatly simplified control of the automatic air conditioner.

Under the hood of the Competition xDrive version is a 3.0-L six-cylinder biturbo engine with 530 hp (395 kW) and 479 lb-ft (650 Nm) of torque, mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission that sends power to both axles. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.5 seconds and with the optional M Driver package that turns off the electronic limiter reaches a top speed of 290 km/h (180 mph). Other versions (without xDrive) will have the same engine power as before the redesign, and a manual 6-speed gearbox.

The starting price for the redesigned M3 Competition xDrive in Germany is 105,300 euros.
