2008 BMW M3 - Notable Features

For those familiar with the M3 nameplate, the addition of a V-8 engine will likely stand out as the most significant feature for 2008, with the new double-clutch automatic transmission coming in a close second. Shoppers new to the scene might want to simply focus on the numbers: 414 (ponies under the hood), 4.7 (seconds to 60 mph), 155 (top speed), 20 (estimated highway fuel economy rating), and 55,875 (price of admission).

Individuals of all backgrounds will surely enjoy the new M3’s M Dynamic Mode for customized performance, available HD radio, a USB adaptor for no-brainer iPod and iPhone integration, and by 2009 a total of three body styles from which to choose: coupe, sedan, and convertible.

More importantly, the M3 plays host to a variety of safety features, such as Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), traction control with Variable M Differential Lock, performance-tuned ABS, cornering brake control, brake drying, a tire pressure monitor, and side-curtain airbags.
