BMW M3 Sedan: 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 Sedan rank in its segment?
Among the 24 saloons 2019–2023, the M3 Sedan ranks 9th of 24 in 0–100 km/h (4.2 s, behind the BMW M3 Competition xDrive), 19th of 24 in Top speed (250 km/h, behind the Kia Stinger GT 3.3T AWD), 9th of 24 in Power-to-weight (282 hp/t, behind the BMW M4 Competition).
How much does the M3 Sedan 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 M3 Competition xDrive instead?
The BMW M3 Competition xDrive leads in 0–100 km/h (3.5 s vs 4.2 s). The choice depends on your priorities: check the M3 Sedan vs BMW M3 Competition 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.
