The 2010 BMW M3 offers no compromises in terms of its aggressiveness. The designers and engineers put the track in mind first with comfort and aesthetics coming in next. The V8 powerplant of the M3 boasts of about 450 horsepower for the 4.4L variant of the M3 GTS.

The power of the engine is transmitted to the rear wheels through a dual clutch system on 7-speed transmission. This was specially designed to withstand the output of the very powerful powertrain with the shifting engineered to maximize the potentials of the V-8.

Some of the aerodynamic pieces of the BMW M3 include the adjustable rear spoiler, front splitter, and some reworked elements on the front end. The car is also set up with 19-inch alloy wheels paired with tires that ensure understeer-bias with very good grip. The designers also put in a nice work on the honeycomb grille.

The brakes of the car are also custom made with four-piston and six-piston design calipers for the back and front, respectively. There are also race dampers attached to the corners of the car so owners can tune the car for appropriate rebound and bump needed on the road or track.

The inside is pretty much like a race car with rear seats gone for a fire bottle and a roll cage. Despite the very race-like features, the BMW M3 is very much street legal.
