About BMW M3

The BMW M3 is a high-performance version of the BMW 3 Series, developed by BMW’s in-house motorsport division, BMW M GmbH. M3 models have been produced for every generation of 3 Series since the E30 M3 was introduced in 1986.

The initial model was available in a coupé body style, with a convertible body style added soon after. M3 sedans were available during the E36 (1994-1999) and E90 (2008-2012) generations. Since 2015 the M3 has been solely produced in the sedan body style, due to the coupé and convertible models being rebranded as the 4 Series range, making the high-performance variant the M4.

Upgrades over the standard 3 Series automobiles include engines, handling, brakes, aerodynamics, lightweight materials and various interior upgrades.
