Reviews SummaryAnyone who tells you BMW doesn’t make authentic driver’s cars anymore hasn’t ripped down a favorite back road or circled a race track in the redesigned 2021 BMW M3. Granted, modern BMWs are not as analog as they once were, but name a vehicle that is. Yearning for yesteryear is pointless, and the luxury performance-sedan playing field remains as level as ever. On it, the new BMW M3 performs like a star running back, especially in Competition specification. | |
Reviews SummaryThe BMW X3 looks great, drives even better, and has the utility and straightforward design that will still appeal to buyers 10 years from now. Redesigned for 2018, the 2020 X3 brings two new trims aimed at two wildly different customers. One is a quiet plug-in hybrid, and the other is really loud and ends with the letter M. | |
