Technical Specs for Every M3 Model/Edition Ever (Up to E90/E92/E93)

It's hard to believe that the HP has nearly doubled in the M3's since the E36. BTW, it looks like the engine output figures are the EU ratings. Like E46 is 343 bhp and E92 is 420 bhp. We all know those figures here Stateside to be 333 and 414 respectively.

Greetings,

The second to last document, before the 2010 GTS - states the 2007 E92 coupe (and others) as 420 bhp - so what is it ?

420 or 414 ??


Cheers,
Merlin

Euro cars rated at 420, North America at 414 HP.

I'm trying to find if the e92 ever came with Carbon Ceramic brakes. I keep searching and all the turns up are the Brembo upgrades. I couldn't find it on this sheet. Does anyone know if they came from the factory in the US with them, and what year?

Its just a different standard/unit of measurement.
PS/Metric HP/DIN HP vs Imperial HP/Mechanical HP/SAE HP.
Germany, Japan, Italy use the former. USA & UK use the latter.
Hence 420 / 414.
But the engines are rated for exactly the same output, 309 kilowatts (kW).
In fact, if you do a cross conversion between the different units of measurements, they prove to be identical.

No. M-cars didn't have a CCB option until the F-chassis.

Solid post. I have now learned something valuable today. Thank you kindly!

Carbon Ceramics... Anyone?

Just hopped back on the forum...still got a 04 Civic and I think I am gonna go with a Subaru WRX for my next car :/ I live in New England and rwd is tricky but one day I hope I can afford an M3, still need to save up for the Subaru I still have a lot to learn about M3's also.

Thanks!

With so much inaccurate information, I don't think we should be promoting this document. Just take a look at the 4 speed automatic on the e46 and e9x.

Yep. This thread should not be a sticky. It's full of crap and hasn't been corrected.

Quick question, is there an actual PDF attached to the OP? I only access M3Post from an IPhone, so I'm assuming if there is a PDF then I would need to login from a computer. I do understand from comments that there are many mistakes, just trying to figure out why I'm not seeing a PDF more so than what the content of it is.

Yup, there's a 11 page PDF in the first post.

Yep, that .pdf is still crap

Here's a great resource - a PDF containing all the technical specifications for every single M3 model and edition BMW has ever produced. Want to know what the roof load, gear ratios, or suspension type is for a particular M3? It's all in here, plus much more.

Excellent document! Thank you 🙌🏾

Hey Guys!

Would you hand me some technical literature, like BMW Group University Technical Training about the S65 Engine?

This is just what I needed. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Guys , new to this forum hoping to get some info. Was trying some new shifters and did not like the look and when I replace the OEM shifters its not changing gears. I removed it a few times cleaned the like the gold connections put it back in and also put the ball bearing back in and I think the correct was as I can move the shifter ok. also the back plastic section that the shifter screws on has a spring that can come out.
Any ideas would be great before I have to buy another one.
Thanks
Chris.
