New BMW M3 Sedan and M4 Coupe India launch on November 26

Petrol heads rejoice. The new BMW M3 Sedan and M4 Coupe is all set to be launched in India on November 26. Both the M3 and M4 are powered by a six-cylinder in-line petrol engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology newly developed for the new M twins. The cars weigh 80 kgms less to maximise dynamic ability and efficiency.

The weight loss is attributed to increased use of lightweight materials such as carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) and aluminium for a number of chassis and body components. Both models feature a carbon roof.

The new BMW M3 Sedan and new BMW M4 Coupe produce a maximum output of 431 hp and a peak torque of 550 Nm, an increase of roughly 40 per cent to the outgoing BMW M3. The engine also achieves a reduction in fuel consumption and emissions of around 25 per cent. Both the BMW M3 Sedan and BMW M4 Coupe can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds with the optional seven-speed M Double Clutch Transmission.

To cope with the rack track capabilities, the M cars are fitted with track-specification cooling system, ensuring optimum temperature balance for the engine, turbochargers and transmission is maintained at all times.
