It's a year of firsts for BMW. Recently, BMW released its all-new 1-Series, a model that has already met with much critical and public praise, and now has released the first-ever M3 with a V-8 engine. What does this mean for the 2009 BMW M3?
Well, for starters, the 2009 M3 can transmit 414 horsepower to its rear-wheel drive with its close-ratio six-speed manual gearbox, with peak torque climbing up to a lofty 295 pound-feet, allowing the vehicle to accelerate from 0-60 in an impressive 4.8 seconds and reach an overall 155 mph. Adding to the year of firsts is the M3's interesting roof design. BMW claims it is the first production vehicle in its segment with a roof made of reinforced carbon fiber, a tactic often used in professional racing sports to lower overall vehicle weight, and drop the center of gravity. This enhances the speed, nimbleness and handling of the vehicle, making the M3 yet another perfectly-optimized Ultimate Driving Machine. Throw in weight-optimized aluminum components, and other little feats of weight engineering, and you can see the intent within the design- to make the lightest, most responsive and powerful production vehicle that can be made. BMW pays attention to all the little details, and they all add up to an incredible driving experience.
Aesthetically, the 2009 BMW M3 has a lot going for it as well. Almost everything on the vehicle has been carefully redesigned. Its body features such as the flared wheel arches, air-intake scoops, dual tailpipes and side sills are all custom-designed for the 2009 M3. A careful 50/50 weight balance on the axles truly makes this a chassis designed to be "faster than its engine". All and all, it has an athletic, sporting stance that separates it from the competition.
