A new video gives us a somewhat rare chance to see the base model with the six-speed manual gearbox at work in a few acceleration tests.<\/p>\n<p>The performance figures don\u2019t lie \u2013 the automatic model is quicker off the line, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/01\/28\/2021-bmw-m3-competition-xdrive-review\/\">auto-only xDrive spec<\/a> is even quicker. The stick shift sends power exclusively to the rear axle and you \u201conly\u201d get 473 horsepower. Does that make the M3 any less desirable? Not at all. Enthusiasts will argue numbers don\u2019t tell the whole story, and it\u2019s not like the three-pedal version is a slouch.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-402157\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BMW-M3-Manual-Test-Drive-18-of-37-830x467.jpg\" alt=\"BMW M3 Manual Test Drive 18 of 37 830x467\" width=\"830\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BMW-M3-Manual-Test-Drive-18-of-37-830x467.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BMW-M3-Manual-Test-Drive-18-of-37-1820x1024.jpg 1820w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BMW-M3-Manual-Test-Drive-18-of-37-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BMW-M3-Manual-Test-Drive-18-of-37-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BMW-M3-Manual-Test-Drive-18-of-37.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of BMW M3 Manual Test Drive 18 of 37 830x467\"\/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-402157\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20467%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BMW-M3-Manual-Test-Drive-18-of-37-830x467.jpg\" alt=\"BMW M3 Manual Test Drive 18 of 37 830x467\" width=\"830\" height=\"467\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BMW-M3-Manual-Test-Drive-18-of-37-830x467.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BMW-M3-Manual-Test-Drive-18-of-37-1820x1024.jpg 1820w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BMW-M3-Manual-Test-Drive-18-of-37-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BMW-M3-Manual-Test-Drive-18-of-37-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BMW-M3-Manual-Test-Drive-18-of-37.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of BMW M3 Manual Test Drive 18 of 37 830x467\"\/><\/p>\n<p>BMW typically underrates its cars, but it\u2019s easier to beat the official stats with the automatic than it is with the manual. This G80 completed the sprint to 62 mph (100 km\/h) in 4.39 seconds, which is only two-tenths of a second slower than the time provided by the German automaker. The journey from 0 to 124 mph (200 km\/h) took 14.17 seconds, but we\u2019re left impressed by the 60 to 110 km\/h (96 to 68 mph) time of 2.68 seconds. It goes to show the inline-six engine has impressive pulling power in the mid-range, which matters the most in a real-life scenario when you\u2019re overtaking.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cace of base\u201d M3 completed the quarter mile in 12.55 seconds at a trap speed of 116 mph (186.8 km\/h) and need 2.75 seconds and 35.98 meters (118 feet) to come to a full stop from 62 mph (100 km\/h).<\/p>\n<p>This M3 G80 is a rare breed since there aren\u2019t many performance cars left with manual gearboxes linked to engines featuring more than four cylinders. That said, you won\u2019t be able to row your own gears in the upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/06\/03\/bmw-m3-touring-production-video\/\">M3 Touring G81<\/a> since BMW intends to sell the super wagon exclusively in the Competition flavor with ZF\u2019s eight-speed, torque-converter auto.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JHcP2Ju4yRE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PDriveTV \/ YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"2022 BMW M3 manual (353kW) 0-100km\/h &amp; engine sound\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JHcP2Ju4yRE?start=441&amp;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[embedded content] ADVERTISEMENT You\u2019ve likely seen your fair share of acceleration tests with the BMW M3 G80, but chances are most of them featured the sports sedan in the automatic guise with or without the Competition package.
