New 2021 BMW M3 And M4 Land In UK In The Range-Topping Competition Spec

BMW has opened the order books for the new generation M3 Sedan and M4 Coupe in the United Kingdom.

Available solely in the Competition spec, pricing starts at £74,755 ($100,939) for the four-door and £76,055 ($102,694) for the two-door model, and both of them sport plenty of standard gear.

Goodies such as the heated and electrically adjustable front bucket seats, Merino leather upholstery, M-branded steering wheel, carbon fiber trim, wireless charging pad, head-up display, 10.25-inch infotainment system and 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster are included at no extra cost.

Customers also get LED headlights as standard, 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels, adaptive suspension and others, whereas for the carbon fiber exterior styling package, 360-degree parking assistant, different wheels and so on, they will have to pay extra.

The new M3 and M4 are powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine, which produces 503 HP (510 PS / 375 kW) and 479 lb-ft (650 Nm) of torque in the Competition variants.

The engine comes paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, helping both models accelerate to 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 3.9 seconds.

Those who would rather change gears by hand will have to wait for BMW to launch the six-speed manual transmission version, with rear-wheel drive. The M-tuned xDrive all-wheel drive system will launch in a few months.

The base models, on the other hand, which are not available yet in Britain, get the same engine, albeit with less power, developing 473 HP (479 PS / 352 kW) and 406 lb-ft (550 Nm).
