Photoshoot: Dravit Gray Metallic BMW G80 M3 Competition Rocking Vorsteiner VPX-101 Forged Wheels
Sporting the unique Dravit Gray Metallic paint finish, this BMW G80 M3 is also equipped with a set of custom-made Vorsteiner VPX-101 monoblock forged wheels, giving this high-performance German machine a worthy visual upgrade
I’ve got a confession to make. Vorsteiner makes some of the best-looking carbon fiber aero & wheels for BMWs. Simply put, they’ve evolved over the years into a premium manufacturer of carbon fiber aero parts, making their work one of the most aesthetically pleasing. With the advent of the BMW G80 M3, we didn’t have to wait long to see their package for this all-new high-performance platform from the Bavarian car maker. In turn, the already aggressive-looking M3 got some additional flare, concealing all the design worries we got to experience with this generation of one of the most successful performance sedans out there.
The BMW G80 M3 might sport a shiny new identity, but it still offers a significant level of track-inspired technology and fun, borrowed from the forthcoming M4 GT3 customer sports racing model. The vehicle is still a purebred high-performance machine, capable of impressive performance and great handling. The two-door coupe is prepared by the BMW ///M division, giving the vehicle a high-revving 3.0 liter M TwinPower Turbo six-cylinder petrol engine that develops a peak output of 503 hp and 479 lb-ft (637Nm) of torque.
With the standard BMW G80 M3, the power is sent exclusively to the rear-axle wheels by means of a six-speed manual transmission. Purists will love the manual transmission that comes as standard on the BMW M3, however, this is a BMW M3 Competition model. In turn, this vehicle is equipped with an 8-speed M STEPTRONIC automatic transmission. With the BMW M3 Competition, the 0-62mph (0-100km/h) sprint will take just 3.8 seconds. A truly capable performance machine both on and off the track.
As a result, it’s also a perfect foundation for a great aftermarket build that only needs a few subtle visual touches to make it one of the best performance cars out there.
Even though Vorsteiner hasn’t equipped this particular Davit Gray BMW M3 with all their bells & whistles, it still sports a pretty good upgrade in the form of Vorsteiner VPX-101 monoblock forged wheels. These are perfectly sized at 20×9.5 in the front and 20×10.5 in the rear, sporting a Liquid Smoke finish that works perfectly with the exterior of this M3. In turn, this is a clean build that will undoubtedly be a fan favorite for years to come.
