The “M” division is the pinnacle of BMW’s. They are a car that is impossible not to love. Their looks, features and most importantly, the incredible driving ability. Firstly, let’s start with the insane looks of this car. It’s finished in the Gorgeous Yas marina blue, holding it to the ground is a set of Unmarked 19″ M Double Spoke Alloy Wheels. This car has been sent to the carbon division and told to go crazy, It’s everywhere. The rear arches are beautifully moulded to make room for those massive rear wheels and tyres.
The interior is laced with gadgets, technology and brilliant build quality. You’ll be seated in a lightweight electrically adjustable sports seat with your hands gripped around a leather-wrapped multifunctional steering wheel and looking out over a beefy bonnet bulge. It’s a magical place to be. The cockpit is well suppressed from the outside but BMW know their market and they know that the people who buy their cars are people who love driving, which in turn leads to people who love the noise of a straight 6 powering its way up through the rev range, especially with this factory fitted Akrapovic Exhaust System.
BMW’s iDrive system is just fantastic. It’s super smooth, responsive, easy to manoeuvre around and has a boatload of features and technology to make your life easier. It has a media tab with DAB radio and Bluetooth media, so you don’t have to worry about plugging your phone in every time you get into the car, a communication tab, where you can access your phone’s contacts and call people hands free, a navigation tab, BMW’s Connected Drive, where you can find the weather forecast and news and finally, the My Vehicle tab where there are some really intuitive ideas such as your a tyre pressure monitor, oil level monitor, service requirements and even your service history – all stored in your car’s computer.
BMW’s attention to detail is magnificent.
The driving section of the M experience starts with a push of a brake pedal and the press of a button. You hear the roar of the twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre straight-six engine that pushes all them ponies. Everything about the M3’s mechanical being is made for incredible performance and handling but BMW has also given the M3 the ability to be a daily car. So essentially you have the best of both worlds! There are settings for your throttle response, suspension and steering weight and you can change them all from comfort to sport and to sport plus. Your usual BMW would have a button for changing the whole car’s characteristics from mode to mode but the M3 has the ability to change each individual aspect from mode to mode. And this is where the “M” buttons come in. On your steering wheel are buttons labelled “M1” and “M2”. You can customize these buttons in iDrive and set each driving aspect to your prefered mode so you can have your desired set-up at the quick push of a button!

A truly beautiful car with a huge list of factory fitted options that sounds incredible.
