CarGurus Analysis: 2024 BMW M3
Summary
With 365 currently listed for sale and an average price of $89,228, 32.9% of 2024 BMW M3 listings on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2024 BMW M3 4 / 5 stars.
92.6% of 2024 BMW M3 listings on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2024 BMW M3 stands out as a high-performance sedan that still manages to be practical enough for everyday use. It comes only as a sedan with seating for five and a roomy 16.9-cubic-foot trunk, and BMW offers a wide range of upgrades for comfort, convenience, safety, and performance so buyers can tailor the car to their preferences. That combination of serious pace and usable packaging is a big part of the M3’s appeal.
For 2024, the M3 lineup includes the M3 CS, which brings 543 hp, a zero-to-60 time of 3.2 seconds, and a six-figure price tag. The broader M3 family also benefits from the model’s strong performance reputation, and BMW’s available xDrive all-wheel drive system helps put that power to use. At the same time, the car’s styling remains a talking point, and the electric-assist steering continues to draw criticism from enthusiasts.
As a used buy, the 2024 BMW M3 is attractive if you want a modern sports sedan with genuine everyday usefulness, but it is not a low-cost proposition. It has held its value remarkably well, and newer, lower-mileage, more powerful examples command higher prices.

The overview frames it as a high-performance sedan that still works well for everyday use, with seating for five, a roomy trunk, and a wide range of comfort, convenience, safety, and performance upgrades. That makes it a fit if you want serious pace without giving up practical packaging. With 35.0% of listings marked as good or great deals, you still have some room to shop selectively.
Is the 2024 BMW M3 reliable?
Owners rate it 4/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.
The overview suggests the 2024 BMW M3 is built around a proven formula: strong performance, usable everyday packaging, and broad configurability. It also notes that newer, lower-mileage, more powerful examples command higher prices, which can matter if you plan to keep the car for a while. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is paying a premium for a performance sedan that may have been driven hard.
What should I look for when buying a used 2024 BMW M3?
Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.7% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
You should still run a vehicle history report and verify that the car’s condition matches its asking price. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the car has performance upgrades or higher mileage. Focus on wear items, signs of hard use, and whether the car’s equipment and condition line up with the seller’s description.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 BMW M3?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.
- Deal availability: 35.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 374 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 91.7% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $86,341, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2024 BMW M3's resale value?
The current average of $88,805 sits slightly below last year's $89,096.
That small decline suggests the market has stayed relatively stable rather than swinging sharply in either direction. For you, that can mean less downside risk if you buy carefully and keep the car in strong condition. Because the M3 has held its value well, a clean, well-kept example should remain easier to resell than many performance sedans.
Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2024 BMW M3 or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2024 if:
- 35.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.7% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
- Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2023 if:
- At $81,421, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $88,805 average.
- It blends performance, practicality, and luxury with broad appeal.
Consider the 2025 if:
- At $89,865, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $88,805 average.
- It adds mid-cycle updates that keep the formula feeling fresh.
The bottom line: The 2024 is the best all-around pick if you want a modern M3 with strong market support and a healthy mix of listings. If price matters most, the 2023 is the smarter value play, while the 2025 makes sense if you want the newest updates and are willing to pay more.
