With the new Competition Package, power for the 2016 BMW M3 and M4 models increases from 425 hp to 444 hp. BMW says the 0-60 mph times improve by 0.1 seconds for each body style with either transmission. When fitted with the seven-speed M Double Clutch Transmission (M-DCT), the M3 sedan and M4 coupe reach 60 mph in a claimed 3.8 seconds, while the M4 convertible does it in 4.1 seconds.

Other performance changes include the Adaptive M Suspension with new springs, dampers, and anti-roll bars as well as revised driving modes including Comfort, Sport, and Sport+. Additionally, the Active M Differential and DSC Dynamic Stability Control have been reprogrammed to match the suspension tuning. The M3 and M4 also gain new staggered lightweight multi-spoke 20-inch M alloy wheels that appear similar in design to those of the M4 GTS.

The Competition Package also adds the M Sports exhaust system with black chrome tailpipes, and Shadow Line exterior trim with high-gloss Black finish on the kidney grilles the side gills, and rear badging. Inside, the Competition Package adds special lightweight M sport seats to the BMW M3 sedan and BMW M4 Coupe as well as seatbelts with woven-in BMW M stripes.

The Competition Package is priced at $5,500 on the M3 Sedan and M4 Coupe and $5,000 on the M4 Convertible.
