宝马曾在2015年发布了小改款的M3，近日又推出了第二次改款的2018款车型。这款车很难看出有显著变化，因为车身只有前脸略微进行了改款，与最近改款的M4轿跑车保持一致性。宝马将于今年7月开始投产2018款M3，而老款车和新车之间有四个月的间隔期。这意味着消费者至少要等到8月份才能买到这款车。该车动力系统没有任何升级，仍搭载那台3.0升直列六缸双涡轮引擎，功率317千瓦/431马力。可选装的Competition套装将功率提升至331千瓦/450马力，车辆百公里加速时间仅需4秒，与引擎搭配的是七速双离合变速器。除了动力升级，该套装还包括重新调校自适应M悬挂，专属20英寸合金轮圈，M排气系统及黑色排气尾管，车厢内带有M标志的运动轻质座椅。

 

2018 BMW M3 revealed with discreet facelift

It was in May 2015 when BMW gave its high-performance compact sedan a light nip and tuck and now the M3 is receiving a second facelift, albeit a minor one. You will have a hard time noticing the changes because only the front fascia has been subtlety revised to match the look of the recently facelifted M4 Coupe.

 

BMW will kick off assembly of the 2018MY cars in July and there’s going to be a four-month production break between the two model years. That means people interested in buying the slightly updated M3 will probably have to wait until at least August to get behind the wheel of the car.

 

As it was the case with the M4’s LCI, there aren’t any upgrades underneath the hood, so the 2018 M3 will continue to have 431 horsepower (317 kW) from its biturbo 3.0-liter, straight-six engine. An optional Competition Package will dial the output to 450 hp (331 kW) and will enable the sporty sedan reach 62 mph (100 kph) in only four seconds when equipped with the seven-speed, dual-clutch gearbox.

 

Besides the power hike, the kit also includes a re-tuned adaptive M suspension, exclusive 20-inch alloy wheels, an M exhaust system with black chrome tips, and a pair of sporty lightweight seats also wearing the M signature.

 

As a final note, BMW is expected to unveil a more potent M4 CS later this year and will probably take the shape of a watered-down M4 GTS in the same vein as the limited-run M4 Competition Sport sold last year in Spain in 60 units.
