​

The full M version of the G20 3 Series is powered by the BMW S58 turbocharged straight-six engine that debuted in the G01 X3 M. All-wheel drive (xDrive) was optional on the new M3, the first time that an M3 has used a drivetrain layout other than rear-wheel drive. A manual gearbox is available only with rear wheel drive, and is the only transmission available on the standard M3 model. It is available as a Touring (estate) model, marking the first time BMW has offered an M3 Touring. The G80 M3 went on sale as a 2021 model, with the initial prototypes tested at the Nürburgring alongside the BMW M4 G82. It was officially unveiled on 23 September 2020 alongside the new M4. At launch in 2020, the M3 Competition was unveiled alongside the standard M3. Compared to the standard M3, the Competition increases power output by 30 hp to a total of 503 hp and torque is increased by 74 lb⋅ft to 479 lb⋅ft, and it is offered exclusively with an 8-speed M Steptronic Sport automatic transmission. The M3 Competition also features a separate transmission oil cooler, black chrome exhaust tips, forged M light-alloy wheels, automatic brake hold function, and high-gloss black mirrors. The Life Cycle Impulse (LCI) update brought an upgraded S58 twin-turbo inline-six engine producing 523 hp.
