CarGurus Analysis: 2022 BMW M3

Summary
With 232 currently listed for sale and an average price of $73,734, 31.5% of 2022 BMW M3s for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2022 BMW M3 5 / 5 stars.
84.9% of 2022 M3 models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2022 BMW M3 stands out as a high-performance sedan that still manages to be practical for everyday use. BMW paired it with a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine and a standard six-speed manual gearbox, sending power to the rear wheels. In this configuration, it makes 473 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque, and BMW says it can reach 60 mph in just over four seconds. That combination gives the car the kind of driver involvement enthusiasts expect, while still offering the kind of usable sedan body style that makes it easier to live with than a more specialized sports car.
BMW also gave the 2022 M3 a broader performance range through the Competition model, which uses an eight-speed Steptronic automatic transmission and produces 503 hp and 479 lb-ft. For 2022, BMW began offering the M3 Competition xDrive with all-wheel drive, including a rear-drive-only setting for track use. The car’s styling was controversial from the start, but the bigger issue for many buyers is that the electric-assist steering remains a point of criticism. Even so, the M3’s acceleration, cornering ability, and daily practicality make it a compelling choice for drivers who want serious performance without giving up a usable back seat and a roomy 16.9-cubic-foot trunk.

Honestly for the money...theres no better car out there! AWD, 500hp, 500lbs of torque, 4 seats...great interior and drives like a dream. I had the option to move onto another vehicle after my previous 22 M3 was totaled, i looked at mercedes or audi or cadillac but came back the M3! The only car i would consider is the M3 Touring Wagon that they opted to not release in the US :(

The G80 M3 has been nothing short of controversial since we first laid eyes on it in 2020. While the appearance is rather polarizing what really matters is the experience you have behind the wheel and let me tell you it is a good one. The G80 M3 offers the most refined driving experience of any 3 Series to date. The I6 feels more reminiscent of an American V8 due to the large torque figures this M3 produces, but dont think for a second that the M3 has become all about power and nothing else like the AMG cars of the 2000s. The M3 does everything you want it to and so much more. If you do not care about the internet boys complaints about this cars appearance who have never actually driven one, then I guarantee buying one of these M3s would be one of the best purchases of your life.

There are 238 listings available, which gives you a meaningful amount of inventory to compare.
Is the 2022 BMW M3 a good car?
Yes — the 2022 BMW M3 earns a 5/5 user rating, which points to strong owner satisfaction. The overview shows a high-performance sedan that still works as an everyday car, with a usable back seat and a roomy trunk. It also gives you a choice between a manual rear-wheel-drive setup and more aggressive Competition variants, so you can prioritize engagement or broader performance capability depending on how you plan to use it. With 31.5% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have some room to shop selectively.
Is the 2022 BMW M3 reliable?
Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The overview suggests a car built around serious performance, but still packaged for daily use, which is a good sign if you want something that can handle regular driving without feeling compromised. Its practical sedan body style and usable trunk also make it easier to live with over time than a more specialized sports car. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is making sure the car has been maintained carefully, since performance-focused vehicles tend to be less forgiving of neglect.
What should I look for when buying a used 2022 BMW M3?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should still review the history report carefully and confirm there are no hidden accident or title issues. Put the inspection focus on overall condition, since a performance sedan like this can be driven hard and may show wear in ways that are not obvious from photos alone. Pay close attention to signs of abuse, uneven tire wear, and any evidence that the car has not been maintained consistently.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 BMW M3?
This looks like a moderate market, so you can shop selectively without expecting a deep buyer’s-market discount.
- Deal availability: 31.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 238 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 4.32% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 84.5% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $71,739, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2022 BMW M3's resale value?
The current average of $73,774 sits slightly below last year's $77,103.
That price movement suggests the market has eased a bit, which can help you buy more confidently now, but it also means future resale will depend heavily on how well the car is kept. If you maintain the car carefully and avoid accident history, you should be in a better position when it is time to sell. Strong condition and clean records matter even more in a performance sedan, where buyers tend to be selective.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2022 BMW M3 or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2022 if:
- 31.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 4.32% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2021 if:
- At $69,898, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $73,774 average.
- It feels more raw and driver-focused.
Consider the 2023 if:
- At $82,609, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $73,774 average.
- It adds broader versatility with stronger premium appeal.
The bottom line: The 2022 is the best fit if you want the strongest balance of price, satisfaction, and available inventory. If you are more price-sensitive, the 2021 is the value play; if you want to spend more for a newer-feeling alternative, the 2023 is the upgrade path.
