What engine does a BMW M3 have?
I have a BMW M3 but don’t know what kind of engine is in it. Can you help?
Jacqulyn Graber · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
The
BMW
M3 is powered by a S58 twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline six engine, which produces a whopping 473 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque in standard form. This iconic, legendary sport sedan pairs its engine with a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission that drives on rear wheels exclusively. Those who crave speed can go from 0 to 60 mph in a quick 4.1 seconds and the car reaches a top speed of 180 mph.
Upgrade to the M3 Competition trim level and your engine output will rise to 504 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. The Competition is only offered in automatic transmission, but BMW’s xDrive all-wheel drive system does become available.
Considering the car’s sporty performance, its fuel economy isn’t all that bad, earning 16 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway, regardless of which transmission is selected.
