Reviews SummaryWe love the 2023 BMW M3 with the same fervour as the Jeep Wrangler and the Mazda MX-5. But unlike those two fun but singularly purposed vehicles, the 2023 M3 can be many things at once, all wrapped up in a single package. A BMW M3 doesn’t come cheap, but it strikes us as well worth the money. | |
