What’s New
To celebrate 50 successful years of BMW motorsports a limited edition M3 Edition 50 Jahre BMW M will be produced for 2023. Only 500 will be sold in North America, and they will be offered in modern interpretations of five classic BMW paint colors, one from each of the last five generations of the M3. This special edition M3 will also include matte grey wheels, a carbon fiber front splitter, quad carbon-fiber-tipped tail pipes, and a carbon fiber roof. The upholstery is also offered in Black Extended Merino leather with tri-color M stripes and special stitching. For all M3s, a curved gauge cluster running BMW’s latest operating system is now standard. The optional Driver Recorder is now a standalone option and no longer included as part of the Parking Assistance package. Gesture Control is no longer part of the Executive package.
Engine, Power, Performance, Mileage, 0-60 mph
The standard M3 comes with the twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six, giving 473 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque only to the rear wheels, with a hugely satisfying 6-speed manual transmission, whereas the Competition variant offers a Differently tuned engine, kicking a massive hit of 503 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque and also with 8-speed-automatic and a very sleek-and-quick all wheel drive, hitting a 0-60 mph in no time of 3.5 seconds but the competition does it with more of a punch.
The 2022 M3(rear-wheels) sedan is rated at up to 16 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway. Adding all-wheel drive lowers its highway estimate to 22 mph. Its real-world highway fuel economy proved bragworthy.
