The G80 marked a major turning point for the BMW M3 and in its original Competition configuration, it kept one ingredient that matters: rear-wheel drive 💥
Under the bonnet sits BMW M’s S58: a 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged inline-six producing 510 CH 🐎 and 650 Nm of torque📈
Power is sent exclusively to the rear wheels through the 8-speed M Steptronic transmission, with the Active M Differential managing how that performance reaches the road
0–100 km/h takes just 3.9 s. ⏱️
0–200 km/h follows in approximately 12.5 s. ⏱️
while top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h
But the G80 M3 Competition is about more than straight-line figures
Its wider tracks, extensively reinforced chassis, adaptive M suspension and powerful braking system were developed to combine high-speed stability with the adjustability expected from a proper M car. The rear-wheel-drive architecture gives this early G80 Competition a particularly direct character 🏁
Finished in Toronto Red Metallic ♥️, this M3 Competition is paired with a striking Kyalami Orange / Black Merino leather interior 🟠⚫️
The specification is completed by M Carbon bucket seats, carbon-fibre interior trim and the exposed carbon roof, a bold combination that perfectly suits the character of the G80
