No nameplate defines the sport sedan like the M3. This catalog span covers three distinct eras: the E9x cars with their 414-hp 4.0L S65 V8, the F80's move to the twin-turbo S55 inline-six, and the arrival of the current G80 with 473 hp and a standard manual. Each generation has its partisans, and each remains the benchmark its rivals were measured against.
