CarGurus Analysis: 2022 BMW M3
Summary
With 236 currently listed for sale and an average price of $72,930, 30.5% of 2022 BMW M3 listings on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2022 BMW M3 5 / 5 stars.
84.3% of 2022 BMW M3 listings 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 enough for everyday use. BMW gave it a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine, and the standard six-speed manual version sends 473 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. That setup can get the car to 60 mph in just over four seconds, which helps explain why the M3 remains such a compelling choice for driving enthusiasts.
For buyers who want more performance, the M3 Competition raises output to 503 hp and 479 lb-ft, though it requires the eight-speed Steptronic automatic transmission. In 2022, BMW also began offering the M3 Competition xDrive with all-wheel drive, including a rear-drive-only setting for track use. The car’s controversial grille design may not appeal to everyone, and BMW’s electric-assist steering still draws criticism, but the chassis delivers the kind of acceleration, cornering, and daily usability that define the M3 name.
The 2022 M3 is also appealing because it comes only as a sedan with seating for five and a roomy 16.9-cubic-foot trunk. BMW offered a generous amount of equipment, along with upgrades for comfort, convenience, safety, and performance, so buyers could tailor the car to their preferences. Used examples have held their value well, but the M3’s strong performance and desirability mean shoppers should still pay close attention to mileage, condition, and maintenance history.

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.

Is the 2022 BMW M3 a good car?
Yes — the 2022 BMW M3 earns a 5/5 user rating, and its overview points to a high-performance sedan that still works for everyday use. You get a twin-turbocharged inline-six, a standard manual transmission, rear-wheel drive in the base setup, and the kind of usable sedan body style that makes it easier to live with than a more specialized sports car. It also offers a roomy trunk and strong acceleration, so it fits both enthusiast driving and daily errands. The market shows 31.5% of listings as good or great deals, which gives you 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 to deliver serious performance while still serving as a practical sedan, which usually matters when you plan to keep a vehicle for a while. Its everyday usability, rear seat, and trunk space make it easier to live with than many performance cars. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is making sure prior use and maintenance history match the car’s performance-focused mission.
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 prioritize a history report first, then focus on a thorough inspection of the car’s condition and maintenance records. Because this is a performance sedan, pay close attention to signs of hard use, uneven wear, and any issues that could affect how the car drives day to day. A careful pre-purchase inspection matters most when you want both speed and long-term livability.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 BMW M3?
This is a moderate buyer’s market, so you can be selective without expecting deep bargain-bin pricing.
- Deal availability: 31.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 232 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 3.81% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 84.5% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $71,607, 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 $73,582 sits slightly below last year's $76,498.
That price movement suggests the market has cooled a bit, which can help you buy more carefully now but may also limit short-term upside if you plan to resell soon. If you buy well and keep the car in strong condition, you can help protect value over time. Demand should remain supported by the model’s performance reputation and everyday usability.
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 3.81% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2021 if:
- At $69,896, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $73,582 average.
- It feels like a more raw, driver-focused performance sedan.
Consider the 2023 if:
- At $82,290, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $73,582 average.
- It adds broader versatility with stronger premium appeal.
The bottom line: The 2022 is the best fit if you want the current-year balance of performance, practicality, and market value. If your priority is spending less, the 2021 is the smarter price-sensitive path. If you want to stretch for a newer-feeling premium performance package, the 2023 is the upgrade to compare.
