Reviews SummaryWe love the 2023 BMW M3 with the same fervor as the Jeep Wrangler and the Mazda MX-5 Miata. But unlike those two fun but singularly purposed vehicles, the 2023 M3 is can be many things at once, all wrapped up in a single package. A BMW M3 doesn’t come cheap, but it strikes us as well worth the money. | |
Reviews SummaryBMW’s best-selling car enjoys a mid-cycle refresh for 2023. Sleeker styling, an updated driver-oriented cockpit, and loads of new technology make the new BMW 3 Series sports sedan as competitive as ever. | |
