BMW M3 2021

The 2021 BMW M3 range of configurations is currently priced from $119,990. Our most recent review of the 2021 BMW M3 resulted in a score of 7.9 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Deputy Editor James Cleary had this to say at the time: Is the M3 Competition worth $10K more than the ‘base’ M3? In percentage terms it’s a relatively small jump, and if you’re already in the $150K ballpark, why not take it?  Extra performance in a technically sophisticated package more than capable of handling it. Add top-shelf safety, a laundry list of standard features, with the practicality of a four-door sedan and it’s hard to resist. The way it looks? Well, that’s up to you?

BMW M3 2021 Q&As

Check out real-world situations relating to the BMW M3 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

  • Audi RS3 vs BMW M3

    Obviously they’re both high performance cars that are designed to eat up the open road, but equally they have to be able to handle the pressures of day-to-day motoring. I wouldn’t like to say one is better than the other for daily use, and I wouldn’t be buying one on that basis, so go for the one that most appeals for its performance.

  • Ask Smithy Xtra Gearbox gear-up

    There are no engine issues that should cause you any concern, but it’s absolutely crucial to buy a car that has had proper maintenance including regular oil changes. Like you I find the SMG a pain to drive, and I wouldn’t own one. They can also be expensive to repair and they are known to give trouble.
