The BMW M3 Competition xDrive is a high-performance car that can rival even supercars in terms of speed and agility. Its Adaptive M Suspension, which comes standard, allows for a range of settings from soft to firm, making the driving experience customizable. However, even in its softest setting, the M3 is not as comfortable as a luxury sedan like the 7 Series. The narrow tires and the occasional roughness of the sports transmission at low speeds contribute to this.

But the M3 is not designed for slow driving. Just lightly pressing the accelerator will cause the car to surge forward with impressive speed. It’s quick and eager, but this can also lead to legal troubles if you’re not careful. The M3’s power is truly astonishing considering its price.

One of the standout features of the M3 is its switchable 2WD/4WD system, which allows for a thrilling driving experience even on wet roads. The car feels incredibly responsive, with precise steering and excellent grip. The acceleration is exhilarating, and the braking is equally impressive.
