BMW M3 Sedan Competition: The Original
The BMW M3 Sedan Competition belongs to the fifth generation of BMW's famous M-Series and was produced from 2014 to 2018. This high-performance sports car is based on the previous F30 3 Series and was designed to provide a perfect balance between track performance and everyday usability. The vehicle is powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six engine that delivers an impressive 450 horsepower. The M3's engine was developed by the talented engineer Paul Rosche, who was also responsible for many other notable BMW engines.
The chassis is one of the most advanced in its class, featuring an adaptive M suspension with electronic damper control, providing exceptional stability and handling. The braking system consists of lightweight and powerful M Compound brakes. Combined with precise steering, the BMW M3 Sedan Competition offers an unbeatable driving experience. Another highlight of the car is the optional Competition Package, which includes higher performance and specific chassis tuning, among other features.
The Manufacturer: Norev 1/18 Scale Model Car
The model shown here in 1/18 scale was manufactured by the renowned company Norev. This miniature is a remarkably detailed representation of the BMW M3 Sedan Competition. It boasts high-quality craftsmanship and many realistic details. The model is part of the collection of Modelly member "neophyte1410". The wheels of the model are an exact replica of the real M light-alloy wheels - a sign of the precision that sets Norev apart.
In the photos, you can see the shiny paintwork of the model, reminiscent of the original color "Black Sapphire Metallic". The lighting units, front and rear bumpers, and small M logos are equally proportioned and crafted with precision. The interior, although not fully visible in the photos, is also detailed to the tee, including the seat upholstery and dashboard components.
Details and Design Features
The perfection embodied in the production of the Norev model in 1/18 scale is impressive. The BMW kidney grilles in the front, faithfully replicated, are particularly striking. The headlights are another highlight, showcasing the distinctive LED signature of the BMW M3 Sedan Competition. The taillights and the M emblem on the rear clearly illustrate the M3’s DNA and are also finely detailed and carefully placed. The representation of the exhaust pipes and diffuser completes the realistic look.
For collectors, the level of detail is often crucial, and this Norev miniature does not lack such accurate details. The doors, likely capable of opening and closing, along with the exact reproduction of the engine bay and trunk, make this model a must-have for any BMW or model car enthusiast.
Other Interesting Aspects of the Original
The fifth-generation BMW M3 Sedan Competition also brought significant improvements over its predecessor. Compared to the E90 M3, the F80 was 80 kilograms lighter, mainly due to the use of lightweight materials such as aluminum and carbon. Another standout feature was the introduction of twin-turbocharging, providing the vehicle not only with more power but also better efficiency.
The design of the M3 F80 was created under the leadership of Chief Designer Adrian van Hooydonk. His team crafted a vehicle that is both muscular and aerodynamically optimized. Inside, the car features high-quality leather, carbon inserts, and advanced technology. Interestingly, the demand for this model was so high that it remained a preferred choice among many automotive enthusiasts until its discontinuation in 2018.
