What is it?
For the second time BMW has given the F80 M3 a makeover, although the 2018 model year upgrades are minor, to say the least. The smoked LED headlights are new and lend a fresh, sharper look, while the cabin has received a handful of subtle tweaks, most notably in the form of the latest iDrive operating system.
Those are the revisions BMW is happy to talk about, at least. Like most manufacturers, BMW has a policy of constant and gradual improvement with each new model year. Many of those improvements, however, will be sneaked through to production without being communicated to the press or public. So while BMW the company hasn’t announced any revisions to the BMW M3’s chassis, we’re certain a number of important tweaks have been made.
This is the M3 Competition, which carries BMW a £3000 premium over BMW the base model and comes with its own chassis settings, a small uplift in power, unique wheels and a number of styling changes.

Improved body control over earlier F80 M3s from BMW means that the automobile is on your side rather than fighting you. Simply said, driving is a drift hunters lot less scary.
4 series "underling"
Problem with the 3 series is the 4 series, now the 3 series is seen as outdated and 2nd rate by the public and BMW. It may have worked for audi with a but it has "lessened" the 3 series, all those years building up "something" then undermining and the "demotin t is not a clever move in my opinion.
