The high-performance version of the 3 Series coupe gets V8 power, other significant upgrades.

BMW'S new M3 coupe is all about power, torque, and performance. It is the first time the M3 has been given a V8 engine, and it ups the power of the ultimate version of the 3 Series coupe from the 252 kW (338 hp) of the old six-cylinder model to 309 kW (414 hp) at 8300 rpm.

The evolution of the M3 has covered 21 years. It was originally powered by BMW's first 16-valve four-cylinder engine. Later came 3.0- and 3.2-L sixes. Racing derivatives have won more Touring Car titles than any other car.
