Vehicle overview
Now in its sixth-generation, the M3 remains one of the leading four-door performance sedans and wagons on the market. Over time, BMW has been perfecting its recipe for the M3 lineup which offers outstanding performance both in terms of straight-line acceleration and a lovely, confidence-inspiring balance in the corners that make it an almighty grand touring machine. The M3 range comes powered by a 3.0-litre turbocharged inline-six petrol unit that pushes out 353kW of power and 550Nm of torque with BMW offering its base model M3 with a six-speed manual, rear-wheel drive package for enthusiasts, while an eight-speed automatic paired with BMW’s xDrive all-wheel drive system is available for the rest of the range. Inside, the M3’s cabin is a sleek place to sit, with no shortage of sporty and premium touches and the bonus of a 500L boot in the M3 Touring wagon helps to keep things practical for the whole family.
