Information
|
Already
renowned for its performance and handling, the new Competition
Package takes BMW M3 performance to the razor's edge. Every aspect
of the M3's handling has been tweaked resulting in the best-handling
M3 ever.
Wheels and Tires
 The
wheels are 19-inch forged-alloy wheels with high-performance tires.
The
suspension has been tuned specifically for the Competition Package.
Turn-in
is quicker with a more direct steering ratio which goes from 15.4:1
to 14.5:1.

M
Track and Brakes
The M Track mode
and brake system are taken from the BMW M3 CSL.
The
Dynamic
Stability Control (DSC) system includes a less intrusive M track mode, as
equipped on the M3 CSL, ensuring the security of DSC and spirited driving
too.
For inclement conditions, the regular DSC mode remains
the same.
The
brakes, also adopted from the M3 CSL, include compound and
cross-drilled rotors.
The front rotors have also been enlarged
from 12.8 to 13.6 inches.
As the serious
enthusiast would expect, the Competition Package is available in
combination with the standard six-speed manual or the optional
Sequential Manual Gearbox.

Interior
The interior
enhancements of the package are subtle but purposeful.
The Alcantara
steering wheel and handbrake grip feel great to the touch.
The
addition of the steering wheel-mounted button for the DSC M track
mode requires the deletion of the multi-function controls and cruise
control.
