The BMW M3 Sedan and M3 Coupé Pure Edition with manual transmission are available to order in
the limited production run of 50 units each from $135,000* and $148,300* respectively. The first
customer deliveries are expected early in 2011.
The BMW M3 features a 309 kW V8 engine. Peak torque is 400 Nm. The BMW M3 Coupé sprints to 100
km/h in 4.8 sec (4.9 sec for the Sedan), while fuel consumption for both models in the EU test
cycle is 12.4 litres/100 km.
All M3s, including the Pure Edition, feature the signature variable M differential lock – with
up to 100 per cent locking action with fully variable action whenever required - which provides
perfect traction for the rear wheels.
Brake Energy Regeneration as well as Automatic Start/Stop function are also standard across the
entire M3 range, as well as high-performance ventilated and perforated compound disc brakes.
Like other M3 Coupés, the Pure Edition also features a lightweight carbon-fibre roof.
