Adrian PatonBMW Unveils M3 Coupe With Competition Package
February 24th 2010 18:00
BMW has introduced a Competition Package for the brilliant M3 coupe in the UK, designed to enhance the model’s unparalleled driving dynamics. On sale from March 20, 2010, the package comprises a revised Electronic Damper Control, suspension tweaks, new wheels and even auto start-stop technology.
The Electronic Damper Control is now available with a new Sport setting which, when coupled with the 10mm lower suspension, improves the standard car’s already dynamic handling. A Dynamic Stability Control Plus system with subtly less electronic intervention than before allows for a more 'enthusiastic' driving style - sideways action!
New 19-inch light alloy wheels - very similar to the ones found on the E46 M3 CSL - complete the package.
The introduction of Auto Start-Stop, on both manual and M DCT transmission-equipped cars, represents the first time a BMW model with more than four-cylinders and a transmission other than a six-speed manual has featured the technology. No other high performance car currently comes with this capability.
The benefits of Auto Start-Stop for all BMW M3 models results in significant reductions in CO2 emissions and an improvement in fuel consumption.
Priced at £3,315 in the UK, BMW has yet to confirm the availability of the Competition Package in Australia.
