2026 BMW M3 Competition M xDrive Sedan Automatic

This new 2026 BMW M3 Competition M xDrive brings the performance-focused character of BMW M to a practical four-door saloon format. Its combination of muscular styling, four-wheel drive traction and a high-output petrol engine gives it a broad range of ability, while the five-seat cabin retains the everyday usability expected of a performance sedan.

The M3’s figures make its intent clear: the engine produces 390 kW (530 hp) and 650Nm, with a quoted 0–100 km/h acceleration time of 3.50 seconds. All-wheel drive is specified for this vehicle, providing a confident foundation for putting that output to the road. A 250 km/h maximum speed is also listed, alongside a combined fuel consumption figure of 10.2L/100km.

Chassis hardware is central to the M3 Competition experience. Adaptive M Suspension is paired with an M Sport differential and M Compound brakes, while the 19-inch front and 20-inch rear M forged wheels use the distinctive Double-spoke style 826 M design. Together, these features are intended to provide the control and braking capacity needed for enthusiastic driving without abandoning the composure required of a refined road car.

Finished in Black Sapphire metallic with a black interior, the car has a suitably understated specification that allows its M details to provide the visual emphasis. Carbon-fibre interior trim finishers, an anthracite M headliner, M seat belts and M Sport seats give the cabin a purposeful atmosphere. Electric seat adjustment with memory, front-seat heating, steering-wheel heating and driver and front-passenger lumbar support add everyday comfort to the performance-focused layout.

The equipment list also places a strong emphasis on connected technology and driver assistance. BMW Live Cockpit Professional, Connected Package Professional, a Harman Kardon Surround Sound System, DAB+ radio and a Personal eSIM support communication and entertainment on longer drives. Wireless charging storage, Comfort Access and automatic air conditioning further reduce the effort involved in daily use.

For visibility and convenience, the vehicle includes adaptive LED headlights, High-Beam Assistant, an automatically dimming interior mirror and an Exterior Mirror Package. Parking Assistant Plus, an automatic tailgate and a tyre pressure monitoring system add useful support in low-speed manoeuvring and routine ownership. Driving Assistant Professional, Active Guard Plus, Active Protection and Active Pedestrian Protection contribute additional layers of monitored safety technology.

As a new vehicle with zero kilometres, this M3 Competition M xDrive presents the current model in a specification that balances exceptional performance with a comprehensive suite of comfort, infotainment and assistance equipment. Its sedan body, five-seat layout and all-wheel-drive configuration make the package notably versatile, while the M-specific suspension, braking and differential systems preserve the sharper focus expected from BMW’s performance division.
