BMW M3 2023 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.

BMW M3 2023 Interior
Inside the BMW M3 Touring you get a 'BMW Live Cockpit' with a 12.3-inch Instrument Display, a 14.9-inch central screen, a head-up display, wireless device charging, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and a premium Harman Kardon surround-sound stereo. You also get three-zone climate and leather seats, with heating up front.
All up, it's a polished, premium and performance-focused place to spend time.
BMW M3 2023 Accessories
The BMW M3 Touring lists at $180,100, which isn’t chump change, and positions the wagon body shape a fair way above a regular M3 sedan.
That said, there is plenty of equipment on a stacked standard features list.
That includes staggered 19- and 20-inch alloys, BMW’s digital Laserlight headlights, and an automatic boot. The cabin tech is on point, and you an 'Active M Differential' and 'Adaptive M Suspension'.
Oh, and there is lots — lots — of performance.

BMW M3 2023 Seats
The BMW M3 Touring is a five-seat station wagon, which makes it possibly the world's angriest family car. Seating is comfy in both rows, but I would caution against the optional carbon-fibre front seats, which are less than comfortable, and impact the backseat, too.
