BMW cars are unique in that after a long time, almost all of their models don’t look outdated no matter how they looked to us when we first saw them. Maybe you noticed this? For example, when you first saw the BMW E60 in 2003, it looked awfully weird and then it really didn’t seem to stand the test of time. But it is BMW cars that stand this test - which is why the E30, E34, E36, E38, E39 and others have been and will be favorite. Wondering how the new BMW front radiator grille will stand the test of time? It’s hard to imagine that this design will ever become a classic. But that is exactly how it should be. Whether you like it or not, you really like the new BMW front style, but you will definitely like the rear. It’s great with a regular third and of course looks impressive with the M3 where the emphasis is on the four traditionally installed exhaust pipes. The car differs significantly from the usual third - air vents in the bumpers, M3 marking on the wings, carbon fiber roof, side mirrors of a different design, wider wings, etc. Only the side door remained common. It is interesting to observe not only the evolution or revolution of the M3 design, but also the changes in composition and engines. If the first E30 M3 had a rather modest 2-2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with about 200 hp, then the E36 engine increased to 3-3.2 liters, power to 300 hp, and the number of cylinders increased to six. The next-generation E46 engine retained 3.2 displacement, but power rose to 360 hp, and the model received a sportier suspension. The next E90 model got an even bigger 4-4.4-liter, 8-cylinder engine reaching as much as 450 hp. The displacement of the next F80 was significantly reduced to 3 liters and returned to the 6-cylinder configuration, but the engine received a turbine, so power and dynamic performance only increased. The latest G80 model has retained the classic composition - 3 liters, 6 cylinders in a row, of course without a turbine was not dispensed plus the new M3 will be composed with all-wheel drive - for the first time in the M3 model. We see that over time, the car’s displacement has increased, reached a peak and is now starting to decline. If the trend continues, and it probably will, we will soon see the M3 again with four-cylinder engines. There will be only one key difference - the M3 will never be the small, high-revving, atmospheric engine sports car it was designed to be. Well, we will definitely have more power and dynamics, and seconds to 100 km / h for really less.
