BMW (http://www.autoblog.com/make/bmw/) is hell-bent on incorporating its EfficientDynamics (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/EfficientDynamics/) systems into every model in its line-up, and the latest recipient is the M3 (http://www.autoblog.com/model/m3), which will come equipped with Auto Start Stop this spring. According to BMW, the system, which cuts the engine when the M3 comes to a stop, reduces emissions and fuel consumption by up to eight percent.
BMW will also begin offering a Competition Package for the M3 coupe and sedan in Europe, which includes 19x9-inch wheels, a suspension lowered by 10mm and a revised Sport traction control setting. A carbon fiber rear spoiler and front apron flaps are included in the package, and can be ordered separately for older M3s.
