Toyota Supra vs BMW M3

The Toyota GR Supra 3.0 isn’t long for this world, with production expected to end midway through next year. We’ll miss its attitude, sharp looks, even-keeled daily-drivability, and solid driving experience. But tight interior dimensions and tough visibility may limit its appeal.

Verdict: The 2025 Toyota GR Supra offers signature sports car fun, though, not without some compromises.

For six generations, the BMW M3 sedan has long exemplified everyday-friendly high-performance, and for 2025, its current G80 generation possesses a handful of exterior and tech mid-cycle updates to keep the formula fresh. It’s what brand enthusiasts refer to as the LCI model, or, life-cycle impulse.

Since 2021, the M3 been offered in either standard or Competition trims, xDrive all-wheel drive (AWD) or rear-wheel drive (RWD), and with either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission. The Bavarian brand maintains its inline-six engine layout—a cornerstone of its history—and there’s no hybrid assistance to be found; just two mono-scroll turbochargers to help produce thrilling acceleration all over the rev band.

Verdict: There are few purpose-built-yet-all-purpose vehicles on the road that offer the same thrills as BMW’s most iconic four-door performance badge.
