Our Review
The BMW M3 is a high-performance version of the 3 Series, developed by BMW's in-house motorsport division, M GmbH. It was first introduced in 1985, and since then, it has become one of the most iconic sports cars ever made. The current generation M3 was introduced in 2021, and for 2022 it receives a few updates. The most notable update is the addition of the all-wheel-drive xDrive model - the first all-wheel-drive in the history of the M3. Along with the addition of xDrive, the 2022 M3 also gets an updated suspension and new wheels. These changes result in sharper handling and a more engaging driving experience.

Even in its base form, the M3 is a potent sports car with a turbocharged inline-six engine producing 473 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. If you want even more performance, you can opt for the Competition trim, which delivers a jaw-dropping 503 horsepower and 479 ft-lbs of torque. Standard equipment includes adaptive suspension, launch control, and an M Sport exhaust system. Performance is further enhanced by an available Track package, which adds a carbon fiber roof, lighter 19-inch wheels, and upgraded brakes. No matter which version you choose, the M3 is a beast. It's not just blazing fast in a straight line either; it tackles twisty roads like it's riding on rails, thanks to its brilliant chassis and suspension tuning.

The 2022 BMW M3 features the same interior as the regular 3-series combining luxury and performance in equal measure. The front seats are upholstered in premium leather, and feature power-adjustable side bolsters that help keeps you firmly in place during hard cornering. The rear seats have been reclined slightly to provide additional headroom and feature integrated headrests for added comfort. The dash is covered in soft-touch materials and houses a 12.3-inch infotainment display that runs the latest version of BMW's iDrive software. The center console is dominated by a rotary knob that controls the transmission, and there are also paddles mounted behind the steering wheel for manual gear changes. The interior of the new M3 is both spacious and stylish, providing everything you need to enjoy a thrilling driving experience.

The 2022 BMW M3 is packed with high-tech features that will keep you connected and entertained on the road. The infotainment system has been completely redesigned, and it now features a sleek touchscreen display that is integrated into the center console. BMW's iDrive system is still present, and it offers intuitive controls for all of the car's functions. Bluetooth connectivity is standard, and there is also a USB port for charging devices. The sound system has been upgraded, and it delivers crystal-clear audio quality. In terms of safety, the M3 comes equipped with a host of cutting-edge technologies, including adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and automatic emergency braking. These features work together to provide a comprehensive solution for preventing accidents.

The BMW M3 is a high-performance sports car designed with safety in mind. It also is offered in an xDrive all-wheel drive version improving the traction and grip on slippery surfaces. The M3 also has an adaptive suspension that can be customized to suit your driving style. Regarding safety, the M3 comes standard with a full suite of airbags and stability and traction control. It also has a rearview camera and blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert. The M3 earned perfect five-star ratings for overall, frontal, and side-impact protection in government crash tests.
