What's New for the 2027 BMW M3?
For the 2027 model year, the lineup expands to include the limited-edition CS Handschalter trim. Although this specific trim utilizes the same foundational powertrain as the Base M3, it incorporates several exclusive performance enhancements. These upgrades feature specialized suspension tuning and lightweight carbon-fiber elements. The interior of the CS Handschalter is distinguished by power-adjustable M Carbon bucket seats.
What Are the 2027 M3 Trims and Features?
BMW offers the 2027 M3 in four distinct trim levels: Base, Competition, Competition xDrive, and CS Handschalter.
The Base M3 provides a performance-oriented driving experience, highlighted by the tactile engagement of a six-speed manual transmission. Premium amenities are standard, including BMW's sophisticated infotainment interface. This system integrates a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster with a 14.9-inch central touchscreen, which features M-specific performance graphics. Comfort is prioritized through heated front M Sport Seats. Additional standard interior and audio amenities include leather upholstery, a 16-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, and wireless smartphone charging.
Drivers seeking additional performance capability can opt for the M3 Competition, which utilizes an eight-speed M Steptronic Sport automatic transmission. This trim features a staggered wheel configuration, with 19-inch front and 20-inch rear forged alloy wheels, along with gloss-black exterior accents. The M3 Competition xDrive further enhances capability by integrating a rear-biased all-wheel drive system to provide superior traction. Finally, the M3 CS Handschalter offers a rare, race-inspired design paired with unique performance tuning.
How Much Horsepower Does the 2027 M3 Have?
The 2027 BMW M3 is powered by a 3.0-liter, BMW TwinPower Turbo inline-six engine. The Base and CS Handschalter trims generate 473 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. The M3 Competition produces 503 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque, while the M3 Competition xDrive adds 20 horsepower, making it the quickest-accelerating trim in the lineup. Performance is further bolstered by standard track-ready features, such as adaptive suspension dampers and an M Sport rear differential for optimized traction.
What Safety Features Does the 2027 M3 Include?
BMW prioritizes driver awareness through a comprehensive suite of safety technologies. Standard equipment includes forward collision warning paired with automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, and blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert.
