Reviews SummaryWe love the 2023 BMW M3 with the same fervor as the Jeep Wrangler and the Mazda MX-5 Miata. But unlike those two fun but singularly purposed vehicles, the 2023 M3 is can be many things at once, all wrapped up in a single package. A BMW M3 doesn’t come cheap, but it strikes us as well worth the money. | |
Reviews SummarySent as a replacement for the discontinued BMW 1 Series, the 2 Series has flourished in the entry-level luxury car segment, outselling its competition last year. Redesigned for 2022, the BMW 2 Series features a refreshed look, larger proportions, increased power, and more performance than is reasonable for a subcompact. | |
