BMW E9x M3 M3 specs

2008–2013 · horsepower, torque, 0-60 mph and weight from BMW; engines, transmissions and drive by model year from the EPA

Performance figures from BMW (US)

Model	Model year of BMW document	hp	lb-ft	0-60 mph (s)	Weight (lb)	Source
M3 Convertible 0-60 with M DCT	2011–2013	414	295	4.9 manual 5.1	4,145	[1] [2] [3]
M3 Coupe 0-60 with M DCT; weight is for the manual	2011–2013	414	295	4.5 manual 4.7	3,704	[1] [2] [3]
M3 Sedan 0-60 with M DCT	2011	414	295	4.5 manual 4.7	3,726	[1]

All 0-60 figures are BMW's own US 0-60 mph claims (BMW AG test results), not magazine tests. Where BMW printed two figures, the main one is for the automatic or dual-clutch car and the small one for the manual. Weights are BMW's US curb weights (older brochures call it "unladen weight") for the base car; options add weight. We list only the model years we hold a BMW document for. Figures often carry over to neighbouring years, but we don't assume that.
