In your face yet perfectly refined, the wildly flared wheelarches - the exclusive sheetmetal a first for M3 - wrap around massive rubber at all four corners and combine with the lower-roofed, faster-windscreened two-door bodyshell and powerdomed alloy bonnet to make the M3 standout from even the most performance orientated crowd. The heavily sculpted front and rear bumpers, side skirts and frameless windows marry well with the large quad tailpipes, subtle "M" badging, discreet rear wing and staggered 18-inch alloy wheels to produce a purposeful yet undeniably attractive presence - either standing still or in full flight. This longer, wider and generally more substantial looking M3 may be slightly heavier, but retains its predecessor's level of slipperiness and is far more threatening than before. Did you know?M3's 20mm-wider wheelarches are not just for show: they were necessitated to accommodate those massive 18-inch alloys, which are mounted further apart than before at both endsAll car reviewsAlfa Romeo Abarth Alpine Alpina Audi Aston Martin BMW Bentley Chevrolet Chery Citroen Chrysler Dodge Cupra Ferrari DS Ford Fiat FPV Foton GWM Great Wall Holden Haval HSV Honda Hyundai Hummer Isuzu Infiniti Jeep Jaguar Lamborghini Kia LDV Land Rover Lotus Lexus Maserati Mahindra McLaren Mazda Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG Mini MG Nissan Mitsubishi Peugeot Opel Proton Porsche Renault Ram Rover Rolls-Royce Skoda Saab SsangYong Smart Suzuki Subaru Toyota Tesla Volvo Volkswagen |
