All the car we’ll ever need?! The new #BMWM M3 xDrive is very much a stealth option. You won’t see a single difference in exterior or interior design, and not even a single badge — very un-BMW! Almost as if M doesn’t want you to feel a difference. You can’t see any of the unique parts that comprise the XDrive #M3, so in typical RBR style, I’ll strip back the skin and show you what’s up!

The result is a BIG difference. This is the first-ever all-wheel-drive version of what is historically BMW M’s most important car. Customers are nervous enough already with the rear-wheel drive car thanks to the abandoning of the dual-clutch, the increased weight and the design choices. This extra if potentially makes things even more difficult for the traditional M customer, or maybe BMW M I pulled a rabbit out of the hat. Let’s find out today!

Firstly the RWD new M3 is already the king of its segment, a real #supercar with 5 seats. Yes, the front has a beaver face. We’ve seen car crashes with better design cohesion than this thing - I like the idea but maybe the execution could be less divisive. Regardless of that, it has a massive road presence with just the doors shared with a standard 3 series - we have huge rear arches, 4 series lights, staggered set up with 19/20 wheels for the first time on M3, and two big shotguns on the rear. Not ugly enough? You can get the M Performance Parts exhaust and aero pack. Please don’t.

The engine is a powerful 3-litre straight-six twin-turbo engine called the “S58”. It has parts that are 3D printed to reduce weight. Plus a Lightweight crankshaft, Forged pistons, a closed deck construction with a slightly larger bore and shorter stroke. All this allows it to rev higher to 7250 RPM. The XDrive comes with the ZF 8 speed only, in Competition spec! That means 510 BHP, 650 NM of torque and a super quick 0-60 of 3.5 seconds - let’s see if we can beat it with launch control!

The difference in 0-60 is more than the previous-gen M3 vs the M5. It’s literally a class or two above! All that is thanks to the XDrive, which is similar to the 340i but, this one uses an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch in the transfer case. To give Fully variable torque delivery between the front and rear. But compared to the 340i, it’s extremely rear-biased: Only on the loss of grip at the rear do the front driveshafts wake up. The reason for this we’ll discuss when driving. It also features a torque control system for faster adjustments and the clutch pack is a beefed-up version with better oil cooling. FYI The front differential is an open differential without an integrated mechanical lock. OF course, you get 3 traction modes including RWD only “drift mode”!

As a final touch, It also has its own front suspension and steering tuning and geometry over the rear-drive car, plus the engine’s oil system has also been upgraded.

As for weight, the standard M3 sits at 1730, which is heavier than the 1640 previous car (manual almost the same 1670)
The M3 xDrive weight is 1780KG, a mere 50kg more. Some of this can be negated by options, like the Carbon roof - 23kg lighter than the sunroof, Lightweight bucket seats save 10kg, and the ceramics at 13kg So not a lot of penalties, for what could be a lot of benefits. Oh, and there will be an M3 Touring coming very soon, as M celebrates 50 years!
