BMW M3 and M4 Competition Package Adds 19 bhp

Under-the-skin improvements for the Competition Package-equipped M3 and M4 include new springs, dampers and anti-roll bars for the adaptive M suspension as well as reconfigured active M dampers and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC). The Comfort, Sport and Sport+ drive modes have also been upgraded to cope with the power upgrades.



Inside, the M3 and M4 Coupé get lightweight M sport seats. Outside, black chrome tailpipes and high-gloss black detailing around the windows, mirrors and grilles from BMW's exclusive Individual paint list set the Competition Package cars aside from their standard counterparts.



The model-specific 20-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels are wrapped in 265/30 R20 tyres at the front and 285/30 R20 tyres at the rear.



While the standard M3 Saloon, M4 Coupé and M4 Convertible produce 425 bhp and 550 Nm, Competition Package models are upgraded to 444 bhp. All shave 0.1 second off their 0-62 mph times, with the hard-tops getting there in 4.0 seconds and the convertible taking 4.3 seconds. Torque figures remain unchanged.



Competition Package on the M3 and M4 Coupé come at a £3,000 premium with both models costing near £60,000. The premium for the M4 Convertible is £2,200 but the convertible model itself is naturally more expensive, coming in at a total of £63,350.
