The 2023 BMW M3 takes style and performance to the next level. This muscular and luxurious car has a straight-six that delivers 473 horsepower, a six-speed manual transmission, and an eye-catching exterior design. It’s as beautiful as responsive and agile, making it an excellent option for drivers who want motorsport performance in an executive-grade sedan. For generations, the 3 Series has been the most popular sedan in the BMW lineup, and the 2023 M3 shows drivers why it’s time to add a 2023 BMW 3 Series to your garage. Along with its exceptional performance, the 2023 BMW M3 G80 is available in unique yet classic exteriors - adding to its eye-popping style. There’s a lot to love about the BMW M3, and our review will prove why this model and year has quickly become a favorite with drivers who know the value of an iconic BMW automobile.
The four-door 2023 BMW M3 sedan has a twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six engine with 473 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. It accelerates rapidly, and drivers have complete control over the gears thanks to the six-speed manual transmission. Because BMW recognizes the need for a manual transmission, the automaker does not offer the M3 with an automatic transmission. Drivers who want power and an automatic will have to turn to the M3 Competition. Standard rear-wheel drive makes the BMW M3 a true sports car, and drivers will quickly realize it when they experience the 0-60 time of 4.1 seconds. While the vehicle has an official top speed of 155 MPH, adding the M Driver’s Package ups the top speed to 172 MPH. Drivers can add M features like M carbon-ceramic brakes and the M Drive Professional package with a lap timer and a cornering analyzer. The 2023 BMW M3 is an absolute joy to drive. Shifting is satisfying; the off-the-line torque pushes you back into your seat, and the adjustable brake pedal allows for a soft touch and quick stop. The adaptive dampers smooth out the stiff handling, giving plenty of steering-wheel response. This is the ultimate driving machine. Thanks to the engine, transmission, and curb weight of 3,840, the BMW M3 gets an EPA-estimated fuel rating of 16 MPG in the city and 23 MPG on the highway.
The M3 interior resembles the typical 3 Series interior but with M badging and accent trim. The automaker adds carbon fiber and microsuede for an upscale and sporty look, and the red buttons show passengers that you’re driving an M rather than a typical 3 Series. The bolstered front seats provide plenty of support, while the rear bench seats three in relative comfort. The trunk has 13 cubic feet of cargo space. BMW includes Merino leather seats, and the heated front seats have heat and power adjustability. The M3 also has a leather-wrapped steering wheel, multi-zone climate control, a moonroof, and customizable ambient interior lighting. Optional features include ventilated front seats and carbon fiber front seats.
The 2023 M3 is only available as a four-door sedan. It features a bold front grille accented with aggressive, thin LED headlights. The ample air intakes lead toward low-profile sport tires, black alloy wheels, and a pleasing side profile. The rear features a pair of dual exhaust outlets, L-shaped tail lights that wrap around the sides, and a subtle rear spoiler. The M body kit lowers the vehicle’s profile, adds bulk to the rear bumper, and widens the front fascia slightly. This is one sexy sedan, and it’s available in several traditional colors like Black Sapphire Metallic and Frozen Brilliant White Metallic, but it’s also available in unique options like Sao Paolo Yellow, Isle of Man Green Metallic, and Aventurin Red Metallic.
In 2023, safety and infotainment technology were standard features, and BMW led the way with award-winning driver-assistance tech and its iDrive platform. As expected, the 2023 M3 features a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a large 14.9-inch infotainment touchscreen. You can listen to your favorite music or podcasts through the 16-speaker Harman Kardon sound system using Android Auto or Apple CarPlay apps, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, or Bluetooth connectivity. The M3 has two USB ports, cloud-based navigation, and voice recognition. Safety tech includes forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking, adaptive headlights with automatic high beams, blind-spot monitoring, traffic sign recognition, lane departure warning, and front and rear parking sensors.
In 2023, a new BMW M3 for sale had a starting MSRP of $75,295. Most packages added a few thousand to the sticker price. Today, you can purchase a pre-owned M3 for about $68,000 to $75,000, depending on the color, package, and mileage. Prices are holding steady for the 2023 M3 despite BMW M selling a record number of vehicles in 2023.
The 2023 BMW M3 gives drivers an affordable way to get into a new, high-tech BMW M model. This attractive and innovative car delivers impressive performance specs and is one of a few four-door sedans with a standard manual transmission. Driving it feels like driving a sports car - even though the vehicle has seating for five and a roomy trunk. The M3 is versatile and incredibly fun to drive.
