Video: Celebrating 25 Years Of The BMW M3

1985-BMW-M3-First-Generation-Red

The BMW M3 has been around for 25 years now, when it was first introduced way back in 1985, it won everyone’s hearts.  It was a small family car with the heart of a sports car.  The first generation M3 was the fastest 3-Series BMW ever and it had 200 horsepower and did the 0 – 60 mph run in only 6.7 seconds.  These numbers are pretty impressive in today’s standards, can you imagine how great these numbers looked back then.  It is no wonder the M3 gained so much popularity.

The current generation BMW M3’s (E90, E92, and E93) are powered by V8 engines that produce 420 horsepower and a 0 to 60 mph time of 4.8 seconds.  To celebrate the M3’s 25 successful years, BMW has released the following video.

I've been writing about cars for the last 8 years, but I've loved everything with an engine since I was a kid. I'll take the sound of high revving naturally aspirated engine over music, any day! Favorite Car: Porsche Cayman GT4
