Want a cheap BMW M3? Go to Australia!

BMW introduced the second facelift for its M3 at the beginning of the year and already it has more news to share about the high-performance sedan. Created exclusively to cater the Australian market, the new M3 Pure aims to lure in more buyers by packing more goodies for a lower price tag.

Although it’s a base model, the M3 Pure still feature an extensive list of standard equipment, including the important M Competition Package increasing the turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder’s output by 19 horsepower (14 kilowatts) to a grand total of 444 hp (331 kW). Buyers can have it with a standard dual-clutch, seven-speed automatic transmission enabling a 0-62 mph (0-100 kph) run in just four seconds or with a six-speed manual gearbox available as a no-cost option. Bear in mind that opting for the manual will increase the sprint time by two tenths of a second.
