What's New For the 2021 BMW M Series?

Much is new for the BMW M models in 2021, including some refreshments to the current M5, the return of the M3, and an all-new coupe called the M4. This year, the M3 makes a comeback after halting production for a brief time. The M3 is back with updated technology, including a new larger and more intuitive touchscreen interface. All the latest technology is added to the M3, including Android Auto and Apple CarPlay that is wireless for the first time. The M series adds another vehicle called the M4 in 2021. The M4 has many similarities to the other M models, but it is made in a two-door coupe body style rather than a four-door sedan. A familiar sedan, the M5, is also available this year. The M5 gets some modifications, including refreshed exterior styling on both ends. It also has some technology upgrades.

What Features Are Available for 2021?

The M model collection offers two trim levels in all body styles. Each M model has a base trim, and a higher-end trim called the Competition has some sportier features. The M3 base trim has the option of 12 paint colors. It also has the choice of 18-inch or 19-inch wheels and special high-performance tires. The mirrors are heated, and power-folding and the exterior are accessorized with Shadowline trim. The interior has BMW's signature iDrive 7.0 software, and it also sports a new 10.25-inch infotainment display.

The Competition has available carbon-fiber accents and carbon-fiber bucket seats. You can order racing seat belts as well. The M4 has full LED headlights. Laser lights are available. The Competition gets high-gloss black accents and unique carbon fiber accents, along with a glossy black rear spoiler.

The M5 Competition also has new leather and suede seats.
