1. The Thrilling Performance
This is really a car for drivers who can get excited about how beautifully the vehicle handles corners. The standard M3 is equipped with a turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder that delivers up to 473 horsepower and 406 lb.-ft of torque. Test drives of this vehicle with its six-speed manual transmission have gone from 0 to 60 MPH in just 3.9 seconds. The M3 comes with rear-wheel drive, sending its torque to the rear wheels for excellent tail-outs if you’re so inspired.
The M3 Competition comes with an even more powerful engine that delivers a maximum of 503 horsepower and 479 lb.-ft of torque. There’s an optional all-wheel drive system, which can be disabled for rear-wheel drive when you prefer. The M3 Competition with its eight-speed automatic transmission has managed test drives of 0 to 60 MPH in 2.8 seconds. Both of these trim levels have excellent grip as the car handles corners, especially with the optional all-wheel drive system.
2. The Practical and Comfortable Interior Space
The M3 is one of those great cars that has thrilling performance while still being an efficient everyday vehicle. There are Isofix anchors in the back with flip-up lids, creating a safe space for a rear-facing car seat. The trunk has an ample 13 cubic feet of space, providing room for all the daily essentials. The interior is largely designed with carbon fiber and microsuede accents which helps maintain the feel of an upscale racing car.
The M3’s standard front sports seats are power-adjustable and heated. These can be upgraded to carbon-fiber sport bucket seats with plenty of padding. These heavily-bolstered seats are reminiscent of a design you’d expect to see in a ​professional racing car.

The screen is even tilted slightly toward the driver for easy access. In previous years, BMW has required a paid subscription for Apple CarPlay, but in 2023 it’s finally standard.
Drivers can enjoy a one-year trial subscription to SiriusXM, which can be listened to with their Harman Kardon sound system. There are plenty of optional features to elevate the offerings even further. Some of the available technology features include a wireless charging pad, WiFi hotspot subscription, and gesture controls.
