New BMW M3 Sedan

BMW presented second version of sporty M3, which competes against RS4.
From all four BMW M3 generation, offered until now, only two had made in Sedan version: second and the actual one.
BMW hopes that like this to offer models for a higher market segment and to make more customers for this new model; although, for a sport model, the coupe isn’t unpracticed.
It is normal, that to win with this segment, BMW made few changes to its sporty model, but now big enough for a client to feel them.
The engine will be the same V8, 4 liter, which develops 420 hp at 8,300 rpm and 400 Nm at 3,900 rpm, but the car is bigger. Anyway, M3 Sedan accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds, with only 0.1 second less than the coupe.
