Beginning this spring, BMW will be incorporating its EfficientDynamics systems into the M3, which will come equipped with Auto Start Stop. This system, according to BMW, cuts the engine when the M3 comes to a stop, reducing emissions and fuel consumption by up to 8%.

In addition, BMW will be offering a Competition Package for the M3 coupe (see image above) and sedan in Europe, which includes 19x9-inch wheels, a suspension lowered by 10mm and a revised Sport traction control setting.

A new M Sport package for the X5 will debut at the Geneva Motor Show, alongside the Competition M3. It will feature 19- or 20-inch wheels, wrapped in specially developed tires, a new front fascia with larger air intakes, "sanitized aluminum" window surrounds, M leather steering wheel, footrest and a few interior tweaks.
