The new BMW M3 debuted at the 2014 annual annual Detroit Auto Show. It is not difficult to distinguish the new product from the standard version of the sedan; it has stylish elongated headlights with linzovannaya optics and LED sections of daytime running lights in the corporate style of BMW.

Another hallmark of the Bavarian automaker is a two-section radiator grill with large vertically oriented fins, on this model they are made of black plastic, on top of which you can see the nameplate M. The front bumper looks very aggressive, it has large embossed air intakes covered with a mesh with black plastic honeycombs similar to the details of a race car or jet fighter. The silhouette of the car looks fast and dynamic thanks to the embossed ribs on the sides and hood, wheels of eighteen inches radius and M body kit also contribute.
