2027 BMW M3 Competition

The M3 is BMW's high-performance compact sedan, slotting above the standard 3 Series with track-focused intent. Its natural rivals are the Mercedes-AMG C63, Audi RS5, and Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing. The M3 delivers sharp steering and a lively rear-biased feel, making it one of the most engaging sedans in its class. The ride is firm, especially in the stiffest suspension settings, which is the price of its razor-sharp handling. Inside, the M3 offers a driver-focused cockpit with supportive sport seats and a practical trunk for a performance sedan. The Competition gives you 503 horsepower and rear-wheel drive, skipping the xDrive's extra traction and power for a purer, lighter feel and a lower price. Its 3.0L I6 pulls hard to redline, and the eight-speed automatic snaps off shifts with authority, earning 19 mpg combined in mixed driving.
