2025 BMW M3 Competition xDrive

The 2025 M3 is BMW's high-performance compact sedan, the one that takes the 3 Series and sharpens it into a track-capable daily driver. It's a car that rewards a confident right foot, with a responsive chassis and steering that lets you place it precisely on a back road. The ride is firm, especially in the sportier settings, which is the trade-off for the flat cornering and grip you get in return. Inside, the cabin is driver-focused with supportive seats and a clean layout, though rear legroom is snug for a sedan this size. All-wheel drive and the most powerful version of the 3.0L I6 distinguish the Competition xDrive from the rear-drive Competition and base M3. The 3.0L I6 makes 523 horsepower and pairs with an automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, hitting 60 mph in 3.4 seconds with launch control. You can switch the xDrive system to rear-wheel drive for a pure drift mode, which the lower trims don't offer.
