The M4 and M3 are powered by a new 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine.

Both cars receive power from a newly-developed 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder motor with BMW's TwinPower Turbo technology. The engine is good for 431 bhp and 550 Nm of torque, and transmission options include a 6-speed manual and a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic. Irrespective of the transmission, drive is sent to the rear wheels.
