La BMW M3 G80 rappresenta la sesta generazione della leggendaria berlina sportiva di BMW M Division, lanciata nel 2021 come evoluzione profonda che combina tecnologia derivata dal motorsport con elettronica avanzata e direzione di design controversa. Il telaio G80 segna allontanamento significativo dai predecessori aspirati naturalmente, abbracciando architettura motore S58 sei cilindri in linea biturbo producendo 473 cavalli (353 kW) a 6250 giri/min con 406 libbre-piede (550 Newton-metri) di coppia a 2650-6130 giri/min in specifica trazione posteriore standard tramite trasmissione manuale a sei marce, mentre variante Competition eleva uscita a 503 cavalli (375 kW) a 6250 giri/min con 479 libbre-piede (650 Newton-metri) di coppia a 2750-5500 giri/min esclusivamente tramite trasmissione automatica M Steptronic a otto marce offrendo configurazioni trazione posteriore o xDrive trazione integrale. La specifica Competition xDrive riceve calibrazione aggiuntiva consegnando 523 cavalli (390 kW) rappresentando impegno di BMW M verso capacità di prestazioni per tutte le condizioni meteorologiche mantenendo distribuzione coppia orientata posteriormente e modalità trazione posteriore dedicata preservando dinamica M3 tradizionale.

Il motore S58 rappresenta capolavoro tecnologico presentando costruzione blocco chiuso, nucleo testata stampato 3D, albero motore forgiato, due turbocompressori mono-scroll con collettori integrati minimizzando ritardo turbo, iniezione diretta carburante operante a pressione 350 bar, e regolazione albero a camme VANOS continuamente variabile estendentesi fino a zona rossa 7200 giri/min. La specifica Competition raggiunge aumento potenza tramite pressione sovralimentazione elevata raggiungendo 24,7 PSI versus configurazione standard 18,9 PSI, calibrazione gestione motore rivista, e sistemi raffreddamento migliorati includendo raffreddatore olio trasmissione separato gestendo carichi termici durante operazione alte prestazioni sostenuta. L'architettura condivide DNA fondamentale con gruppo propulsore origine BMW della Toyota GR Supra incorporando rinforzi specifici M Division, miglioramenti raffreddamento, e ottimizzazioni calibrazione consegnando erogazione potenza M3 caratteristica combinando accessibilità coppia bassa gamma con urgenza alti giri mancante da offerta turbocompressa generazione F80 precedente.

Il telaio G80 incorpora uso estensivo alluminio e acciaio alta resistenza riducendo peso versus predecessore aumentando rigidità torsionale 20 percento creando fondazione per sospensione M adattiva controllata elettronicamente presentando ammortizzatori continuamente variabili, bracci controllo specifici M, e geometria cinematica sofisticata ottimizzando gestione impronta contatto lungo corsa sospensione. Il Pacchetto Competition aggiunge molle più rigide, valvole ammortizzatori riviste, altezza da terra ridotta 7 millimetri, cerchi legati leggeri M forgiati 19 pollici anteriori e 20 pollici posteriori con pneumatici Michelin Pilot Sport 4S dimensionati 275/40R19 anteriori e 285/35R20 posteriori fornendo fondazione aderenza meccanica. Il sistema frenante presenta dischi anteriori 380 millimetri con pinze fisse sei pistoni e dischi posteriori 370 millimetri con pinze flottanti singolo pistone come standard, con freni M Carbon Ceramic opzionali offrendo rotori anteriori 400 millimetri e posteriori 380 millimetri riducendo massa non sospesa 23 chilogrammi eliminando fading durante operazione pista. La specifica Competition include Differenziale M Attivo—differenziale posteriore slittamento limitato multi-disco controllato elettronicamente distribuendo attivamente coppia tra ruote posteriori basandosi su angolo sterzo, accelerazione laterale, e slittamento ruota individuale creando caratteristiche rotazione impossibili con progetti differenziale meccanico.

La gerarchia prestazioni spazia da M3 standard trazione posteriore manuale raggiungendo 0-60 MPH in 4,1 secondi con velocità massima limitata elettronicamente a 155 MPH, Competition trazione posteriore raggiungendo 60 MPH in 3,5 secondi, e Competition xDrive compiendo sprint in 3,0 secondi netti mantenendo velocità massima 180 MPH con Pacchetto M Driver opzionale rimuovendo limitatore elettronico. L'anno modello 2024 ha introdotto variante edizione limitata M3 CS producendo 543 cavalli (405 kW) esclusivamente con xDrive e trasmissione automatica, incorporando carrozzeria estensiva plastica rinforzata fibra carbonio includendo cofano, tetto, splitter anteriore, alettone posteriore, e diffusore posteriore riducendo 75 libbre versus specifica Competition. La M3 CS ha stabilito tempo giro Nürburgring Nordschleife di 7:28,760—10 secondi più veloce di M3 CS F80 precedente—mentre variante M4 CSL condividendo architettura meccanica ha raggiunto 7:18,137 rappresentando impegno continuo BMW M di sviluppare auto sportive riferimento combinando utilizzabilità quotidiana con capacità pista genuina rivaleggiando supercar dedicate in precisione handling e prestazione tempo giro.

Specifiche OEM
