New Competition Package for the BMW M3 Coupé
At the turn of the year, BMW M will be offering a so-called Competition Package intended for the particularly sports-orientated BMW M3 driver.
Thanks to this new optional equipment package, available only when purchasing a new car, the M3 Coupé, already one of the world's best sports cars, becomes just that little more responsive and agile.
The package, which is available from December 2004, will be sold in Belgium at a price of 5,550 Euro incl. (price M3 Competition 63,500 Euro).
The Competition Package comprises 19-inch wheels possessing the same styling of those sported by the M3 CSL and fitted with high-performance tyres size 225/40 R 19 on 8Jx19 rims at the front and size 255/35 R 19 on 9.5x19 rims at the rear.
Overall optimisation of the suspension and slightly enhanced steering response (a ratio of 14.5:1 instead of 15.4:1) result in noticeably improved vehicle dynamics.
M Track mode and brake system taken from the BMW M3 CSL.
Moreover, drivers will be able to enjoy the M Track mode also featured on the M3 CSL, allowing them to venture even further to the boundaries of the vehicle's potential without having to forgo the benefits of Dynamic Stability Control (DSC).
The steering wheel, the handbrake lever and, in the case of the optionally available sequential M transmission, the gearshift lever knob have an Alcantara covering. Owing to the M Track mode button located on the right hand steering wheel spoke, there are no multifunction buttons.
The brake system of the M3 with the Competition Package was also taken from the M3 CSL. Consequently, the overall diameter of the perforated compound brake discs at the front has increased by 20 mm to 345 mm.
Finally, the Competition Package also exclusively includes the new Alu Tec interior trim and the option of a new M3 body colour - Interlagos blue metallic.
