Toyota Supra vs BMW 3 Series

This model year marks the end of the line for the BMW-sourced Toyota GR Supra. While it was an entertaining sports coupe to drive, it was held back by odd styling, old tech, and a price tag that scared off some shoppers. As a result, we think you'd be better served by some of its rivals, including some of the BMW coupes this Toyota shares components with.

Verdict: With plenty of sports car competition, the GR Supra hasn’t made enough of an impression to justify its continued presence in the market.

To enjoy driving a new 3 Series, you don’t need to upgrade to the M340i or the M3, though we certainly wouldn’t discourage you if those models are within your budget. Instead, try the standard 330i with the M Sport Package. It’s surprisingly satisfying. Plus, minor updates and refinements make the 2025 3 Series better than ever. However, the plug-in hybrid powertrain is gone, so for that, you’ll need to find a leftover 2024.

Verdict: The 2025 BMW 3 Series isn’t perfect, but it’s perfectly enjoyable to drive. Also, for a car nearing the end of its current generation, it offers remarkably advanced technology. A redesign is coming soon, but the current version remains one of our favorites.
