BMW M3 & M4 Competition Package

Me likes!

"BMW’s flagship M3 and M4 performance cars will soon be available with a special Competition Package which will feature cosmetic and performance upgrades.

Cosmetic exterior upgrades will feature a unique set of 20-inch alloy wheels (somewhat reminiscent of the set found on older M models) and an M Sport exhaust system with black chrome tailpipes. Shadowline accents have also been added to the grille, mirrors, and window surrounds. The only changes made to the interior are the lightweight bucket seats with the M Power colours imprinted on the seatbelts.

Fans will be glad to hear that the Competition Package will feature some more power from the 3,0-litre twin-turbo straight-six powerplant. It now produces 336 kW which is 19 kW more than the standard version. A claimed 0-100 km/h time with the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission is now set at 4,0 seconds (0,1 seconds faster than the standard model). The M4 Convertible will achieve it in 4,3 seconds.

Other enhancements on the Competition Package include a revised adaptive M Suspension with new springs, dampers, and anti-roll bars, an active M differential, a retuned dynamic stability control system and reconfigured driving modes.


The Competition Package will be available to South African markets this March. Pricing, however is yet to be announced."

BMW M3 & M4 Competition Package

Looking good

"The BMW M3 Sedan, the BMW M4 Coupe and the BMW M4 Convertible demonstrate the perfect combination of high-performance sports car engineering with unrestricted everyday utility. From spring 2016, all three body styles will be available with a special Competition Package from BMW M GmbH that combines added sporty personality with enhanced dynamics. As well as extensive handling upgrades, the Competition Package also comes with exclusive equipment features and a14 kW/19 hp hike in power that takes output to 331 kW/450 hp (BMW M3/M4 Coupe: combined fuel consumption 8.8-8.3 l/100 km [32.1-34.0 mpg imp], combined CO2 emissions 204-194 g/km; BMW M4 Convertible: combined fuel consumption 9.1-8.7 l/100 km [31.0-32.5 mpg imp], combined CO2 emissions 213-203 g/km).

The extra power also means improved performance. The BMW M3 Sedan and BMW M4 Coupe with optional 7-speed M Double Clutch transmission sprint from rest to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.0 seconds (without Competition Package: 4.1 s), while the BMW M4 Convertible reaches the same speed in 4.3 seconds (without Competition Package: 4.4 s). The sprint time for models with the standard 6-speed manual transmission is likewise 0.1 seconds faster in all cases than without the package.

The Competition Package also includes Adaptive M Suspension, which has been extensively tuned to the enhanced performance and handling, and which features new springs, dampers and anti-roll bars, along with reconfigured driving modes (Comfort, Sport and Sport+). The standard Active M Differential on the rear axle and DSC Dynamic Stability Control have likewise been configured to match the upgraded dynamics. Exclusive forged, machine-polished, weight- and rigidity-optimised 20-inch M alloy wheels - front 9J × 20; rear 10 J × 20 - with exclusive multi-spoke 666 M styling and mixed tyres (front: 265/30 R20, rear: 285/30 R20) complete the list of chassis upgrades.

For the BMW M3 and BMW M4 Coupe, the Competition Package includes special lightweight M sports seats that combine perfect support under extremely hard driving with exceptional comfort on long journeys. Seatbelts with woven-in BMW M stripes cap off an extremely sporty interior ambience.

Eye-catching exterior highlights of the Competition Package include the M sports exhaust system with black chrome tailpipes. Even more than its good looks, the most distinctive feature of the M sports exhaust system is its potent sound, which brings added emotional resonance to the driving experience. The starting rumble and the distinctive burble on overrun never fail to get under the skin of dedicated drivers time and again.

The Competition Package for the BMW M3 and BMW M4 is topped off by extended BMW Individual high-gloss Shadow Line exterior trim. The high-gloss Black finish has been applied not only to the side window trim, window recess finishers and exterior mirror frames and bases, but also to the BMW kidney grille, the side gills and the model badge on the tail."

CAR

The Competition Package improvements do enough to nudge the M3 back up to a five-star car. CAR was disappointed by 2014's four-door, which felt like a step back from the brilliant E90-era V8. Now with 2016's upgrades, it feels like the M3 is back on its game.

We'd wholeheartedly recommend the extra performance, sublime chassis tweaks and extra character of the M3 Comp Pack.

BMW expects take up of the Competition Pack to be around the 75 per cent mark. I’m not sure why you wouldn’t have it. The Competition Pack takes the slack out of standard car, and the waywardness, too. It’s purer and more focused, usefully sharper and no less refined to live with.

I reckon it’s borderline transformative, the car the M3 always should have been.

To drive, the Competition Pack definitely feels superior in most ways compared with the regular version, and that's backed up by the way it looks, even the way it sounds, thanks to its standard fit sports exhaust. Together, such upgrades make the Competition seem like a bargain, even if they do place the M4 right on the cusp of what's acceptable when it comes to ride and noise refinement on the average UK road.
