Next-gen BMW M3 to get all-wheel drive

According to a media report, the next-generation BMW M3 will come with all-wheel drive in higher variants.

The report suggests that the car will be powered by a six-cylinder engine and will get at least two different power outputs. The lower variants of the M3 are expected to come with a manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, while the higher, more powerful variants could come with the xDrive all-wheel drive system and an automatic transmission. The all-wheel drive system will be similar to that of the M5 and could get a 2WD mode. The cheaper variants could also get a different wheel design, fabric and alcantara upholstery, bespoke instrument cluster and a special paint job.

Higher variants of the M3 are expected to be called the Competition. The line-up will also consist of the M4 coupe, M4 cabriolet and the M4 Gran Coupe. The cabriolet will get a soft top.
