BMW M3 weight

BMW M3 curb weight affects the fuel efficiency, handling, and overall driving experience. A heavier M3 may have a more stable ride and handle better in adverse weather conditions, but it may also require more fuel and have slower acceleration.

On the other hand, a lighter BMW M3 may boast of better MPG and quicker acceleration, though it may also have reduced stability and less control on the road.

The lightest BMW M3 was produced in 2018 with a weight of 3540 lbs. And the heaviest model came off the production line in 2013 with 4145 lbs pounds in curb weight.
