Stylish 2015 BMW M3 Revs for the Camera at Villa D’Este

However, when such an event hosts two brand new M models and BMW is the sponsor of the entire venue, you can’t really impose any limits, now can you? That’s probably why the Sapphire Black 2015 BMW M3 in the video below was allowed to rev its engine and bring the ruckus.

What we have here is the perfect illustration of the BMW M3 spirit. The M3 is the more powerful version of the 3 Series but it’s not all in your face like other super fast sedans. It’s exuding power and a dangerous feeling without being too obvious.

Furthermore, you can option it to fit your character. Therefore, if you’re an executive that wants power but doesn’t really like carbon fibre and aluminum trims, you can get your M3 with wood inserts and beautiful Amaro Brown leather all around, just like this car. Add the ‘serious’ black paint on the outside and people will almost think you’re driving a 7 Series and not an M car.

However, with this model, you’ll be given away instantly by the exhaust sound. According to BMW, a lot of work has been put into making this car sound good but it’s just not there. Especially on a cold start. It simply sounds like a lawnmower. There. We said it.

When the flaps are open and the engine within the normal operating temperatures, things change a bit but compared to the previous model there’s simply no comparison.

That’s mostly because of the different engine architecture, probably and the forced induction. The E90 M3 used a naturally aspirated V8 engine that sounded more than beautiful. This one uses a inline 6-cylinder architecture and has a turbocharger in the way of the gases from the engine to the mufflers. Therefore, a different sound was expect and yet, maybe not so dull. Of course, people will always have different opinions about such things and we’ll let you form yours and get back to us.
