Under the Hood
Available with an optional dual-clutch transmission, the 2018 BMW M3 is propelled by a 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder turbocharged engine that produces 425 horsepower and 406 pound-feet torque. Thanks to the highly responsive powertrain, the M3 can go from 0 to 60 in just 3.9 seconds and the overall performance has been rated 8/10 by the US News.

When it comes to the interior, the M3 packages progressive design sensibilities that give way to ample head- and leg-room. Rated 8.2/10 by the US News Scorecard, the interior of the M3 features a number of highlights such as a cutting-edge infotainment system with an improved touchscreen and 16-speaker Harman Kardon audio system. Other notable highlights include leather-wrapped steering wheel, keyless ignition, adaptive cruise control, Bluetooth connectivity, and a highly responsive navigation system. In addition, the features also include heated seats.
Exterior
When it comes to exterior styling, the M3 gives plenty to write home about. The speedster has exceptionally modern exterior styling, accentuated by 20-inch forged wheels that provide remarkable handling and control, with assistance from flared rear-wheel arches. The 2018 M3 comes with a quad-bank exhaust system with chrome-plated tailpipe, and the xenon headlights have been replaced with LED.
Safety Features
Rating 5/5 by the NHTSA and 9.2/10 by the US Scorecard, the M3 is a hallmark of safety. Acing numerous safety tests, the 2018 BMW M3 has also been crowned the “Top Safety Pick” by the IIHS. Notable safety features include head-up display, active parking assist, lane departure warning, a 360-degree camera system, automatic high beams, adaptive headlights, and automatic emergency brakes.
Fuel Economy
Though the M3 may not be a dream come true for someone looking for high fuel economy, the numbers are quite impressive for a high-performance car.
