The power-to-weight ratio of the first BMW M3, impressive at the time, still fun today.
When the car was presented at the IAA in Frankfurt in 1985, it was a sensation. The first BMW M3’s performance data was a new benchmark!
Racing History
Like the road vehicle, the racing version was also an outstanding success, becoming world champion in its first year and adding a European title soon after.

Testimonials
What people said at the time.
The M3 isn't about transportation, it's about driving. Hard. Fast. All the time. It's a street-legal race car that feels more at home clipping apexes than cruising boulevards.
