- BMW engineers had to balance horsepower and weight as they developed the first and only M3 equipped with a V8 engine. Released for 2008, and based on the E90-generation 3 Series, it won over skeptical enthusiasts by offering performance that approached supercar levels in a practical, daily-drivable, and relatively subtle package. Sedan, coupe, and convertible variants were offered.
- Power comes from a 4.0-liter V8, rated at 414 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque in stock form. Due to the modifications performed to this M3, it may produce more power, but a dyno sheet was not provided to confirm. Output is sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
