BMW M3 and M4 Competition Package
BMW's M division boss Frank van Meel has
confirmed that the latest 3- and 4-Series M versions will soon be offered with
a new performance pack. Van Meel broke the news at an M's official magazine
exclusive interview.
The Competition Package will be offered
for the M3 Sedan, M4 Coupe and M4 Cabriolet. Changes will include more power
from the 425 hp twin-turbo 3.0-liter six-cylinder, even sharper driving
dynamics and additions in the cabin.
There's no reason for the M Division to
unseat its 500 hp M4 GTS, so it's reasonable to assume that the updates will
keep power below that figure comfortably lower, maybe around 450-460 hp or so.
Beyond the engine upgrades, the
suspension will undoubtedly be more sporty than the standard M3/M4 in order to
improve what is an already excellent chassis. No further details about the Competition
Package are known by van Meel did promise to reveal additional details shortly.
