The BMW M3 Base for 2005
The restyled M3 Base is equipped with a 3.2-liter six-cylinder engine that utilizes 24 valves. The engine is mated to a Getrag six-speed transmission. This has resulted in an increase in horsepower and torque over the 2004 version.
The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The M3 uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. Load balancing is provided by coil front springs and coil in the rear.

The M3 is 176.90 inches long, 70.10 inches wide, and 54.00 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 107.50 inches. It is able to seat 5 comfortably.
There is a 50,000* mile, 60* month warranty with this vehicle, including a powertrain warranty of 50,000*/36* miles/months. This is normal for this price range.
The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $47,300 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of $43,225. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Coupe.
Fuel Efficiency
The fuel system for the 2005 M3 is a traditional BMW MS, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The capacity of the fuel tank is 16.60 gallons.
