BMW M3 Competition Package – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nBMW<\/a> is hell-bent on incorporating its EfficientDynamics<\/a> systems into every model in its line-up, and the latest recipient is the M3<\/a>, which will come equipped with Auto Start Stop this spring. According to BMW, the system, which cuts the engine when the M3 comes to a stop, reduces emissions and fuel consumption by up to eight percent.<\/p>\n

BMW will also begin offering a Competition Package for the M3 coupe and sedan in Europe, which includes 19×9-inch wheels, a suspension lowered by 10mm and a revised Sport traction control setting. A carbon fiber rear spoiler and front apron flaps are included in the package, and can be ordered separately for older M3s.<\/p>\n

A new M Sport package for the X5<\/a> will debut alongside the Competition M3 at the Geneva Motor Show<\/a>, comprised of a 19- or 20-inch wheels wrapped in specially developed tires, a new front fascia with larger air intakes, “satinized aluminum” window surrounds, M leather steering wheel, footrest and a few interior tweaks. All the details, along with new Individual packages for the X5 M<\/a>, X6 M<\/a>, 5<\/a> and 7 Series<\/a> sedans, are available in the press release below the fold.<\/p>\n
