After watching the BMW M3 Competition xDrive test drive reports or videos from domestic and foreign media, it is not difficult to find that this generation of models has made great progress in terms of handling and all-round practicality. In addition, this super four-door touring car also demonstrated the amazing acceleration performance of the supercar level.
According to BMW’s original data, the 2023 M3 Competition xDrive equipped with a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged straight-6 gasoline engine (503 horsepower and 66.18 kg-meter peak torque) can accelerate from zero to 96 hours per hour in just 3.4 seconds. Compared with many pure electric performance RVs, this kind of performance does not have too many surprises. But in the recent test by Car and Driver in the United States, the M3 Competition xDrive ran faster!
The M Steptronic sporty eight-speed automatic manual transmission is paired with the excellent M xDrive sports car-like adjustable four-wheel drive system, allowing the M3 Competition xDrive to accelerate from 0 to 96 kilometers per hour in 2.8 seconds in the Car and Driver test. This does not include the 0.2 second 1 foot coast start time, so the actual acceleration time should be 3 seconds. The M3 Competition xDrive then accelerated to 100 miles per hour (161 kilometers per hour) in 7 seconds following the start, and ran a 1/4 mile zero-four acceleration record in 11 seconds (at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour).
Car and Driver’s M3 Competition xDrive test vehicle this time is a special model for the 50th anniversary of the 50 Jahre edition introduced to the North American market (the United States and Canada) with a limited number of 500 units. The original factory provides unique car colors such as Cinnabar Red, Techno Violet, Deep Interlagos Blue, Fire Orange III and Limerock Gray, and comes standard with M Sport seats and an exclusive nameplate.
