The New BMW M3 Brings Added Style to its Dynamic Performance

When you crave unmatched power and performance, it can't be enough to simply feel the power of your car. You want to know it can satiate your desire for elegance. When it comes to luxurious power, you deserve the chart-topping performance of the BMW M3. It brings a simple and elegant design to the streets of Knoxville while allowing you to crank up the energy for your commute through Sevierville.

Thrilling Performance of the BMW M3

The M3 brings the noise with a boisterous base engine that doesn't fool around. A 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged I-6 engine provides a solid starting block for the M3. It gets you from zero-to-60 in less than four seconds, thanks to the 473 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. It can get you up to 155 mph without breaking a sweat on the highways of Maryville, TN. The Competition level of the M3 ramps up the horses to 503 and 479 pound-feet of torque and all-wheel drive.

The standard manual transmission gets you more in tune with the BMW M3 as you jet along the streets of Oak Ridge, Tn. When you level up to the Competition trim, you get the smooth-sailing eight-speed M Steptronic automatic transmission.

But the M3 isn't just engineered for speed; it has been designed to give you the most aerodynamic experience on the road. The all-new frameless kidney grille and sleek, sculpted hood let the airflow unobstructed across its frame. It achieves precision weight-balance with the carbon-fiber roof. Its low center of gravity and new aerodynamic fins let you handle Knoxville with agility and reliable maneuverability.


Exterior Design: Aggressive Elegance

The 2026 BMW M3 Sedan makes a bold statement from every angle. Its sleek, sculpted body is enhanced by M-specific design elements that optimize aerodynamics and provide a visual testament to its performance capabilities. The front fascia is dominated by the distinctive BMW kidney grille with horizontal slats, a signature of the M lineup. Flanking the grille are adaptive LED headlights that not only provide exceptional illumination but also contribute to the M3's aggressive demeanor.

Moving along the side, you'll notice the muscular wheel arches that house staggered wheels - 19 inches up front and 20 inches in the rear. These wheels come wrapped in high-performance tires designed to maximize grip and handling. The side skirts further emphasize its low, wide stance, hinting at the performance potential within. At the rear, quad exhaust tips and a subtle lip spoiler leave no doubt about the sporting intent of the M3.

Interior Refinement: Luxury Meets Performance

The driver and front passenger are treated to M Sport seats, upholstered in supple Extended Merino leather. These seats offer exceptional support during spirited driving while remaining comfortable on long journeys. The anthracite headliner and carbon fiber trim add a touch of sportiness to the cabin.

The M3 also comes standard with a host of comfort and convenience features, including heated and ventilated front seats, tri-zone automatic climate control, and a large panoramic moonroof. The Harman Kardon surround sound system delivers an immersive audio experience, while the iDrive 8 infotainment system, featuring a 14.9-inch touchscreen, provides intuitive access to a wide range of functions.

Unrivaled Performance: Power and Precision

The beating heart of the 2026 BMW M3 Sedan is a marvel of modern engineering - a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine. This powerplant is available in three states of tune, each delivering breathtaking performance:

  • In the base M3, the engine produces 473 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque, propelling the sedan to 60 mph in mere seconds.
  • The M3 Competition ups the ante with 503 horsepower.
  • For the ultimate in performance, the M3 Competition xDrive boasts 523 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque, rocketing to 60 mph courtesy of its advanced all-wheel-drive system.

All M3 models come standard with an eight-speed M Steptronic automatic transmission, which offers lightning-fast shifts and smooth operation in both automatic and manual modes. The base M3 and M3 Competition send power to the rear wheels, while the M3 Competition xDrive benefits from the BMW intelligent all-wheel-drive system for maximum traction.

Completing the M3 sedan's performance package are an Adaptive M Suspension, M Compound brakes, and an M Sport exhaust system. These advanced components work in harmony to provide the razor-sharp handling, unflappable braking, and stirring soundtrack that have become hallmarks of the BMW M experience.

Advanced Technology: Connectivity and Safety

The 2026 BMW M3 Sedan is more than just a performance machine - it's also a showcase of BMW's latest technology. The iDrive 8 infotainment system is the heart of the M3's connectivity features, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, on-board Wi-Fi, and the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant for hands-free voice control. Wireless device charging and a head-up display are also available to further enhance convenience.

On the safety front, the M3 comes standard with a comprehensive suite of driver assistance systems. Blind Spot Detection, Lane Departure Warning, Frontal Collision Warning with Automatic City Collision Mitigation, and Speed Limit Info all work together to provide an added layer of protection. For even greater peace of mind when navigating the streets of Maryville, the available Driving Assistance Professional Package adds Advanced Cruise Control, Active Lane Keeping Assist, and Extended Traffic Jam Assistant.

Trim Levels: Tailored to Your Tastes

BMW offers the 2026 M3 Sedan in three trim levels, each catering to a different type of driving enthusiast:
