Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for
Demanding drivers: 3rd of 14 in 0–100 km/h (3.5 s), 3rd of 14 in Power-to-weight (298 hp/t). 3rd of 14 in 0–100 km/h (3.5 s), 3rd of 14 in Power-to-weight (298 hp/t).
Less suitable for
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.
Alternatives to consider
If the priority is 0–100 km/h, the Bmw M4 Competition with 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 (3rd of 14 in 0–100 km/h)
In pure acceleration, the M3 Competition xDrive 530 ranks 3rd of 14 in 0–100 km/h, 0.0 s off the reference Bmw M4 Competition with M xDrive (3.5 s).
Top speed: 250 km/h (9th of 14 in Top speed)
Top speed of 250 km/h. The segment reference reaches 307 km/h.

Frequently asked questions
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.
Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.
The Bmw M4 Competition with 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 with M xDrive duel for a detailed comparison.
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.
