Pros
  • At once a sports car, family car, and luxury car
  • Utterly fantastic to drive
  • High build quality and impressive materials
Cons
  • Potentially polarizing design
  • Unintuitive technology
  • Intrusive road noise

Reviews Summary

We 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.
