At the Geneva motor show in early March, BMW will present the updated sedan M3 (factory designation F80). This is the second facelift of the current M3 generation (the first was conducted in the spring of 2015), and facelift in BMW tradition more than cosmetic – perhaps not every car designer can immediately tell the difference between the F80 LCI I 2016 II F80 LCI 2017.

The most striking feature of the facelift in the truest sense of the word – a new, more "vigorous" the geometry of the led backlight driving lights in the front lighting, which visually connects the grille (by the way, as an option, it is now blackened) and lights.

In addition, changed the rear lights – the internal structure of the LED lamps has become more expressive design. Little has also changed the bumpers, will expand the choice of wheels with diameter from 18 to 20 inches, and the interior expanded selection color combinations and changed the schedule of media system iDrive.

On the subject of differences with the previous version is not expected under the hood is still mighty R6 with the compressor, the twin-turbo 3.0 liter that develops 431 HP and 550 nm in the basic version, or 450 HP with extreme package Competition Package. 

Choice of transmissions also will not change: a 6-step "mechanics" for extreme athletes, or 7-speed RCP M DCT Drivelogic production Getrag. Selling the upgraded "emok" will start in August 2017.
