As iconic four-door sedan, it embodies 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline 6-cylinder direct-injection gasoline engine and 6-speed manual transmission, same to M4 Coupe that can deliver power of 425 hp at 5500 rpm and torque of 406 lb-ft at 1850 rpm. It is more 5 hp than older version because the engine system now adopts new reengineering technology using 2 fast spooling and single scroll turbochargers. The engine is downsized and intake valve is controlled correctly to make fuel economy 25 percents more efficient than ever as well as lower emissions.
By using high quality material, the weight is lighter although it is not significant because only 22 lb is cut off. The roof is made of carbon meanwhile the front suspension is made in aluminum. All components are bolted directly so improving handling and elasticity are gained for better stability. To keep front end tougher, aluminum plate and strut tower brace are also redesigned. There is no more rubber bushing on rear sub-frame.
There will be no more problems on cooling systems because it is optimized with new engineered radiator and water cooler, placed upon the side. There are also indirect intercoolers on engine air intake and magnesium oil pan to optimize oil return system. The interior or cabin is designed based on M style touches with best combination of all features including leather seating, steering wheel and dashboard. It is more stylish and luxury. For more powerful BMW car, 2016 BMW M8 is also recommended choice.
