Demanding drivers: 2nd of 14 in 0–100 km/h (3.5 s), 3rd of 14 in Power-to-weight (298 hp/t). 2nd of 14 in 0–100 km/h (3.5 s), 3rd of 14 in Power-to-weight (298 hp/t).
Frequent urban trips with stop-and-go. At 10,1 L/100 km on the combined cycle, consumption rises in the city without electric assistance. An HEV or PHEV would be more economical for this use profile.
If the priority is 0–100 km/h, the BMW M4 Competition M xDrive (1st with 3.5 s) takes the lead. If the priority is Top speed, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio (1st with 307 km/h) takes the lead.
Acceleration: 3.5 s 0-100 (2nd of 14 in 0–100 km/h)
In pure acceleration, the M3 Competition xDrive 530 ranks 2nd of 14 in 0–100 km/h, 0.0 s off the reference BMW M4 Competition M xDrive (3.5 s).
Top speed: 250 km/h (12th of 14 in Top speed)
Top speed of 250 km/h. The segment reference reaches 307 km/h.

BMW M3 Competition xDrive 530: what you need to know
Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.
Where does the M3 Competition xDrive 530 rank in its segment?
Among the 14 saloons 2022–2026, the M3 Competition xDrive 530 ranks 2nd of 14 in 0–100 km/h (3.5 s, behind the BMW M4 Competition M xDrive), 12th of 14 in Top speed (250 km/h, behind the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio), 3rd of 14 in Power-to-weight (298 hp/t, behind the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio).
How much does the M3 Competition xDrive 530 cost to run?
Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.
Why not a BMW M4 Competition M xDrive instead?
The BMW M4 Competition M xDrive leads in 0–100 km/h (3.5 s vs 3.5 s). The choice depends on your priorities: check the M3 Competition xDrive 530 vs BMW M4 Competition M xDrive duel for a detailed comparison.
How does Caralogy calculate its figures?
Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
