Longitudinal and lateral dynamics are improved by innovative lightweight construction.
This is why lightweight materials are used on the BMW M3 Convertible in key areas
such as the bumpers and drivetrain. As a result, the new V8 engine weighs 15 kg
less than its six-cylinder predecessor. As well as reducing weight, we've lowered
the centre of gravity and stiffened the chassis, making for even greater agility
and stability.
