2 cars

The classic high-performance saloon, the M3 has built a reputation over many years that places it on a pedestal for fans of quick cars. There's a twin-turbo six-cylinder engine available under the bonnet that's also complemented by rear-wheel drive. It's a lot of fun to drive and looks just as good, with a luxurious cabin that is every bit the elegant BMW you expect.

BMW M3 Buying Guide

What types of used BMW M3 cars are there?

The BMW M3 first appeared on the car scene in 1986, and it’s been a firm favourite ever since. Combining the sultry styling of a saloon with a real performance edge, the M3 is a real treat of a car.

You can choose from a range of trims and engines, and there are convertible models for some wind-in-hair action.

One of the most popular engine offerings is a straight-six petrol engine that’s coveted on the car scene and often labelled as one of BMW’s best. The only transmission currently available on Competition and CS models is an eight-speed automatic.

What features does the BMW M3 have?

Being a luxury car with a reputation to uphold, all models offer an impressive amount of kit. Features like three-zone climate control, parking sensors and sports seats are abundant across the range, plus M seatbelts are a flashy touch.

There’s also Apple CarPlay and Android Auto available, a reversing camera and a wireless smartphone charging tray on offer.

You won’t be able to miss the massive 12.3-inch infotainment display, and it wouldn’t be a BMW without plush interior styling.

Is the BMW M3 reliable?

BMW hasn't always had the best reputation for reliability, but models have become more and more solid over the years. The M3 is a high-quality car that feels every inch the premium vehicle, so you can tell it was built to last.

The standard BMW 3 Series was awarded a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating, so that’s a great indicator of how secure an M3 will be.

The M3 has a broad and loyal fan club, with drivers praising the quality of the car – it’s definitely considered a dependable model.

How much does the BMW M3 cost to run?

The M3 is a car that focuses on performance and is capable of 510hp with the 3.0-litre twin-turbo straight-six engine. Achieving this level of on-the-road finesse does require using more fuel, of course.

The rear-wheel-drive M3 can achieve up to 28.8mpg, while the all-wheel-drive xDrive model can hit slightly less than that.

Because of the cost to purchase the M3 and the power it’s capable of, insurance costs are likely to be on the pricier side. This is to be expected if you’re in the market for a performance car.

Who is the BMW M3 suitable for?

The BMW M3 is most suited to motorists that want a lifestyle car that offers a feisty performance edge. This is a car that’s built for speed, but it isn’t too extravagant for daily use.

It offers five seats in a comfortable cabin and a 480-litre boot that will be more than enough for most families.

If you want something that you can justify as a sensible car with the reassurance that there’s a lot of fun going on under the bonnet, this is the car for you.
