CarGurus Analysis: 2017 BMW M3
Summary
With 205 currently listed for sale and an average price of $47,197, 34.1% of 2017 BMW M3s for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2017 BMW M3 5 / 5 stars.
59.5% of 2017 M3 models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2017 BMW M3 stands out as a high-performance sedan that still manages to be practical enough for everyday use. BMW’s M3 formula has always centered on driving enjoyment, and this generation keeps that focus while packaging it in a sedan body style with seating for five and a roomy 16.9-cubic-foot trunk. It also offers a broad range of upgrades for comfort, convenience, safety, and performance, which lets buyers tailor the car to their preferences.
What makes the 2017 BMW M3 especially appealing is the way it blends serious pace with usable hardware. It uses a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine, and the standard six-speed manual sends 473 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. BMW also offered the M3 Competition with 503 hp and 479 lb-ft, though that version requires the eight-speed Steptronic automatic transmission. For buyers who want more traction, BMW began offering the M3 Competition xDrive in 2022, with all-wheel drive and a rear-drive-only setting for track use.
There are a few drawbacks worth noting. Enthusiasts had been criticizing BMW’s electric-assist steering for years, and that complaint continued with this generation. The styling also drew heavy criticism when the car was introduced, especially the twin-kidney grille. Even so, the 2017 BMW M3 remains distinctive because it combines strong acceleration, sharp cornering, and daily practicality in one package.

Is the 2017 BMW M3 a good car?
Yes — the 2017 BMW M3 earns a 5/5 user rating, which points to strong appeal for shoppers who want a performance sedan that still works for everyday use. The overview highlights a sedan body with seating for five, a 16.9-cubic-foot trunk, and a broad range of comfort, convenience, safety, and performance upgrades, so you can tailor it to your needs. It also combines serious acceleration with sharp cornering and practical packaging, even if the steering feel and styling drew criticism. With 30.7% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market gives you some room to shop selectively.
Is the 2017 BMW M3 reliable?
Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction. The overview presents the 2017 BMW M3 as a well-rounded performance sedan with usable everyday traits, including seating for five, a practical trunk, and a wide range of available upgrades that let you choose the setup you want. It also emphasizes the car’s strong performance hardware and balanced real-world usability, which are good signs for buyers who want a car that can serve as both a weekend thrill and a daily driver. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that a high-performance car like this can be costly if it has been neglected, modified poorly, or driven hard without proper maintenance.
What should I look for when buying a used 2017 BMW M3?
At 61% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important. You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection from a shop that knows performance cars. Focus on overall condition, maintenance records, and signs of hard use or modifications, since those factors matter a lot on a used M3.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2017 BMW M3?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile examples.
- Deal availability: 30.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 205 listings available.
- Clean inventory: 61.0% of listings are accident-free.
Should I buy a 2017 BMW M3 or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2017 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2017 if:
- 30.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 61% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
