For those seeking more power, the M3 Competition bumps the output to 503 horsepower, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. At the top of the range, the all-wheel-drive M3 Competition xDrive receives a power increase for 2025, now boasting an impressive 523 horsepower. This car has amazing horsepower. The 0-60 time is impressive for a sedan, with the all-wheel-drive Competition model capable of a blistering 2.8-second sprint.

Its chassis is expertly tuned to deliver sharp, responsive handling that inspires confidence, making it a surgical instrument for carving through corners. Yet, when switched into its comfort settings, the M3 transforms into a perfectly capable daily driver, offering a refined ride and a well-appointed interior.
Inside the cabin, the driver-focused cockpit features a large curved digital display running BMW’s latest iDrive 8.5 infotainment system. High-quality materials like Merino leather and optional carbon fiber accents create a premium and sporty ambiance. While the aggressive exterior styling, particularly the prominent kidney grille, might be polarizing, there’s no denying the M3’s commanding presence. For those who desire a high-performance sedan that excels in nearly every metric, the new BMW M3 remains a formidable and highly desirable choice.
