The 2024 BMW M3 represents the sixth generation of this high-performance luxury sedan. It is powered by a hearty 3.0L I6 engine, yielding either 473 hp in the standard version or 503 hp in the Competition model. Both engines work in unison with an 8-speed automatic transmission, although a 6-speed manual is also available for the non-Competition model. The drivetrain setup is primarily RWD, with the option for AWD on the Competition model. The M3 offers advanced safety features, including automated emergency braking, forward-collision warning, blind-spot detection, and lane-departure warning. Key infotainment features include a 10.3-inch touchscreen, equipped with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and WiFi hotspot. A key highlight for this model year is the addition of the optional M xDrive AWD system for the competition model, which significantly ramps up the sedan's dynamism and agility.
