Dubai Autodrome, 100 degrees in the shade. The M3 Coupe is already in pole position.
Since its inception, the BMW M3 has embodied the very soul of motorsport. Now it’s setting
a new benchmark on the world’s racetracks. Virtually all components have been constructed
from the ground up with one goal: to exceed the capabilities of its illustrious predecessor.
A muscular, racing-inspired 4.0-liter V-8 engine is a driving enthusiast’s dream. The M3’s
intelligent lightweight construction contributes to its dynamic responsiveness and sporty road
feel. The look is designed to set your pulse racing. Get behind the wheel – and experience the
thrill of purebred sports car performance.

One of the V-8’s many motorsport-inspired advances: using eight separate throttle butter⇑ ies,
one for each cylinder, to deliver faster engine response and greater overall performance and
ef⇒ ciency. Another is BMW’s variable Double-VANOS technology, which precisely adjusts
valve timing all the way up to the M3’s staggering 8400-rpm redline. It’s engineering like this

Massive 14" cross-drilled compound brakes work in conjunction with Dynamic Brake Control

Honed by our M engineers to perform like no other vehicle. Tested through more than 600,000
miles of corners and straightaways at the Nürburgring’s infamous Nordschleife. With astounding

uniquely engineered front and rear axles form the foundation of the M3’s driving dynamics. The

M3 brakes are a breed apart; even the biggest stresses and strains leave these perforated compound brake discs unfazed. Their ⇑ oating design
means they are fade-resistant, even at high temperatures. Perforating the brake discs doesn’t just save weight – it also helps deliver powerful brake
performance, even in wet driving conditions. What’s even more crucial, the M3’s high-performance brakes offer outstanding stopping capabilities
when driving at high speeds. On the track, they let you take advantage of the ideal brake point in curves. And on the road, they give you an “active
safety” edge in avoiding accidents.

The M3’s retractable roof is far more than just
a steel version of a softtop. When raised, the full
roo⇑ iner effectively insulates the interior against
cold and exterior noise. At the push of a button
on the center console, a motor electrohydraulically
begins the process of lowering the top. First, the
roof is separated into three sections, which then
smoothly move towards the rear and stack one
above the other. At the same time, the trunklid
unlocks at the front and swings up. The stacked
roof sections are lowered into a special storage
compartment; the trunklid closes. Total time from
top-up to top-down: 22 seconds. The trunk can
now be opened from the back, and gently closed
using the soft-close feature.
The roof can also be raised and lowered by using
the key fob buttons when the M3 Convertible
is equipped with Comfort Access. This option
also includes the Comfort Opening and Loading
feature: to stow large packages in the trunk
when the top is down, a touch of the remote
button raises the stacked roof up and conveniently out of the way, letting you access more
trunk space; another press lowers it back down.
All of which makes the M3 Convertible hardtop
not just one of the sleekest, most beautiful
convertible hardtops on the road today, but
the smartest, as well.
