BMW M3 Competition – is this the best M3 to date?

Ciro De Siena

18 Jun 2021

Watch Ciro de Siena get to grips with the latest G80 BMW M3 Competition. It is always a special occasion when there’s a new BMW M3 and we just had to get behind the wheel.

Is there a more iconic letter in the car alphabet? M from BMW represents a special breed of performance vehicle and when a new one is launched, people get excited. This is the new BMW M3 Competition and it features a 3.0-litre turbocharged straight-6 engine with 375 kW and 650 Nm, and power goes to the rear wheels via an 8-speed gearbox. An all-wheel-drive model will follow later in 2021. 

Is this new BMW M3 Competition good enough? We put Ciro de Siena behind the wheel on the safety of an airfield to see if it’s worthy of the M badge.
