"Who's got tha keys to ma beemer"
 
 

 
 

This is no ordinary car - you can see that at a glance. The very bonnet seems barely able to contain the engine, the powerdome hinting at the sheer might lurking within. It's almost like watching the M3's beating heart - and hearing the pounding of your own.

 No turbo, no supercharger, just engineering excellence, M-style - that's what lies at the heart of the M3's appeal. With an unbridled appetite for revs instead of a short-lived shove of torque, the new M3's normally aspirated straight six is a real enthusiast's delight.
