The 2016 BMW M3 Has Grown Old, But Not Weary: Review - BoldRide.com
And it’s good—real good. The new engine gives you six-cylinder efficiency paired with V8 performance. Power is there at every gear, even at sixth you’re not forcing yourself to downshift in order to pass. From that new inline-six, you’re getting a respectable 425-horsepower and 406 lb-ft torque. It’s not Hellcat type of power (or even Cadillac ATS-V power), but it’s palpable and there when you need it. BMW says you’ll be able to get to 60 mph in about 4. 0 seconds. The launch isn’t completely composed though, negating a bit of tire spin you have to sort of ease your way into it properly. Again, it’s not eating tires like a Charger Hellcat, but do enough launches from standstill and you’ll be dishing out some cash for some new tires in no time.

I don’t like to feel like I’m driving a tank, I want something that’s going to do what I want it to do, and not fight me with its lumbering size throughout the entire process. Enter the BMW M3. The M3 is perfectly proportioned—not to small, but definitely not too big. Source: news.boldride.com
