In the realm of high-performance, mid-range sedans, the G80 M3 stands as a beacon of automotive excellence. With its 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline six-cylinder engine and impeccable driving dynamics, the M3 has long captured the imagination of enthusiasts worldwide. Yet, for those seeking the pinnacle of M3 performance, the limited edition M3 CS delivers an even more exhilarating experience, boasting a remarkable 550 horsepower and 650 Nm of torque. However, for the discerning few who crave further refinement and exclusivity, dAHLer Competition Line steps in with a tasteful upgrade package designed to elevate this already extraordinary sedan.
At the core of the enhancement package lies the "powered by dAHLer" performance upgrades, meticulously crafted by owner Christoph Dähler and his team. The first stage of these enhancements propels the S58 engine to an impressive 630 horsepower and 740 Nm of torque, providing a substantial increase in power and performance. Complementing this power boost is a carbon fiber intake system, further enhancing both aesthetics and engine efficiency. Importantly, all dAHLer upgrades come with EU/CH homologation certificates and comply with the stringent WLTP Euro 6d-TEMP exhaust standard, ensuring both legality and environmental responsibility.
While the factory-fitted titanium sports exhaust system retains its place in the showcased specimen, dAHLer offers an optional stainless steel exhaust system "built by dAHLer," complete with bi-flap control, for an even more captivating exhaust note synonymous with the brand. Adding to the visual appeal are ceramic-coated tailpipes, available in either 100 mm or 108 mm diameters, providing a striking finishing touch to the rear end of the M3 CS.
When it comes to wheels, dAHLer consciously refrained from fitting the specimen with its 21-inch CDC2 FORGED rims, opting instead to preserve the exclusive character of the M3 CS as a collector's edition. By adding wheel spacers, the forged OEM rims, measuring 19 inches at the front and 20 inches at the rear, now sit perfectly aligned with the fenders, maintaining the sedan's aesthetic balance. Complementing this stance is a performance coilover suspension "built by dAHLer," which not only lowers the chassis but also offers adjustable compression and rebound damping, enhancing both visual appeal and driving dynamics.
For those seeking a subtler approach, dAHLer Competition Line provides its own set of sports springs, dropping the front axle of the limited edition sedan by 24 mm and the rear by 3 mm, resulting in a more aggressive stance without compromising ride quality.
Importantly, all the upgrades showcased here are not exclusive to the M3 CS but can also be applied to regular M3 and M4 models, ensuring that enthusiasts across the BMW M range can experience the unparalleled performance and refinement synonymous with dAHLer Competition Line.
In summary, with its expertly crafted upgrades and unwavering commitment to performance and exclusivity, dAHLer Competition Line has once again proven itself as the go-to choice for discerning enthusiasts seeking to elevate their driving experience to new heights.
