2005 BMW M3 Overview

Introduction

The BMW M3 is a high-performance tuned version of the 3-series coupe.

The M3 seats five passengers and comes in either a coupe or convertible. It features many of the same amenities as other 3-series models, but it has distinct sporty styling cues that set it apart thanks to its racing heritage. It is powered by a 33 hp 3.2-liter inline-six cylinder engine that is mated to a Getrag Type D six-speed manual transmission. An optional sequential shifter can also be incorporated. Safety features include side-impact airbags, all-disc antilock brakes, a Rollover Protection system for the convertible, daytime running lights, and a front Head Protection System for coupes.

For 2005, the BMW M3 gets a Competition Package option.
