BMW M3 Engines and Transmissions

The BMW M3 engine in this generation pairs a naturally aspirated inline-six with either a traditional manual or a quick-shifting double-clutch transmission. Rear-wheel drive keeps handling playful and direct. The manual suits purists who enjoy full control, while the DCT offers rapid gear changes for effortless pace.
