What's New for the 2027 BMW M3?
For the 2027 model year, a limited-edition CS Handschalter trim joins the lineup. While this trim shares the same powertrain as the Base M3, it comes with several exclusive upgrades to enhance performance, including lightweight carbon-fiber components and specialized suspension tuning. Inside, you'll find power-adjustable M Carbon bucket seats.
What Are the 2027 M3 Trims and Features?
BMW offers the new M3 in four trim levels: Base, Competition, Competition xDrive, and CS Handschalter.
The Base M3 packs more than enough performance to deliver a thrilling drive. You can experience the engagement of a six-speed manual transmission. It also comes standard with an abundance of premium features. BMW's modern infotainment system pairs a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster with a 14.9-inch central touchscreen. Integrated M-specific performance graphics make this interface even more enjoyable for driving enthusiasts. Meanwhile, heated front M Sport Seats ensure a comfortable drive. Other highlights include a 16-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, leather upholstery, and wireless smartphone charging.
For drivers who crave extra muscle, BMW offers the more powerful M3 Competition. Along with the additional power comes an eight-speed M Steptronic Sport automatic transmission. It also features a staggered wheel setup, with 19-inch front and 20-inch rear forged alloy wheels. Gloss-black exterior elements further distinguish the Competition trim. Another step up the trim ladder is the M3 Competition xDrive, which gives you the enhanced traction of a rear-biased AWD system.
With only a limited number of units being produced, the M3 CS Handschalter is bound to be a hot commodity. Unique performance tuning and race-inspired styling help it stand out.
How Much Horsepower Does the 2027 M3 Have?
Motivation comes from a 3.0-liter, BMW TwinPower Turbo inline-six engine. While the Base and CS Handschalter trims are rated at 473 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque, BMW tunes the M3 Competition to develop 503 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. The M3 Competition xDrive packs an additional 20 horsepower under the hood, making it the lineup's quickest-accelerating trim. Track-ready features, such as an M Sport rear differential for improved traction and adaptive suspension dampers, come standard.
What Safety Features Does the 2027 M3 Include?
Forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert, and parking sensors all come standard.
