The 4-litre monster produces 420bhp and 295 lb/ft of pulling power enabling a 0-62mph (100kph) dash of just 4.7 seconds. As with previous M3s, the latest model, codenamed E92 offers serious, race-bred performance and everyday practicality. BMWs new M3 is an outrageous and seriously wicked car; a four-seater coupe that thinks it's a supercar. it's a beast quite capable of twitching nervously if you push it hard, but it's also surprisingly capable of being driven sedately.
0-60 mph: 4.7 Seconds
