The 1998 BMW M3 is part of the model's third generation and is a high-performance version of the 3-series sedan. It's powered by a 3.2-liter inline-six engine that produces 240 horsepower. This engine is paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed automatic transmission, driving the rear wheels. The '98 M3 featured a sport-tuned suspension, improved brakes, and performance tires as part of its standard package. While there was no infotainment system like we find in modern cars, the BMW M3 offered a premium sound system. Comfort-wise, leather sport seats were standard, and safety features included dual front airbags, traction control, and an anti-lock braking system.
