2021 BMW M3 review

1. Epic power 

The standard M3 engine that makes 473 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque is likely more than enough for most situations. There's more to the 2021 M3's power story though. If you find an M3 Competition on our lots you're in for... wait for it, an epic 503 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque.  

2. Standard comfort features 

There is nothing basic about the base M3 for the 2021 model year. The standard features list for the M3 is incredibly long, highlights include leather upholstery, power-adjustable and heated front sport seats, keyless entry with push-button start, automatic climate control, and LED headlights. So even a base trim M3 is sure to please. 

3. Performance comes standard  

The best-of-both-worlds M3 has myriad performance bits as standard too. Check out the standard 18-inch front and 19-inch rear wheels, adjustable suspension dampers, adjustable drive modes, and an M Sport rear differential. Your 2021 M3 will stand out from the crowd in a lot of ways.  

4. Latest technology  

You'd expect the 2021 M3 to be packed with tech, and you would be right. In addition to wireless Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto^™ smartphone integration, you'll get a great Harman Kardon^® audio system, navigation, and parking sensors all standard. The M3 also comes with all the latest driver aids as standard equipment including forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.  

5. M3 Competition  

The options list is pretty great, but if you want to max out your M3 experience, search our lots for the M3 Competition. Not only is there more power (503 hp) but you'll get 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels, trim-specific black exterior trim with black spoiler and exhaust tips, and Competition seat belts. An M3 with the Competition package is pretty special indeed.
