This is not a turbocharged shortcut to power. It's a hand-built, race-derived engine that delivers linear, intoxicating acceleration and a soundtrack unlike anything else in its class. Paired with the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission with DriveLogic, gear changes are near-instantaneous in manual mode, or smooth and seamless in automatic mode for everyday commuting. Rear-wheel drive keeps the driving experience pure and engaging whether you're carving the curves of Mount Diablo or cruising the 680 corridor.The E92 M3 also features a rear limited-slip differential, four-piston Brembo front brake calipers, and a sport-tuned suspension that strikes a remarkable balance between track capability and street usability.
