2023 BMW M3 Competition xDrive

This 2023 BMW M3 Competition xDrive pairs the S58 3.0-litre twin-turbo straight-six with BMW's M xDrive all-wheel-drive system, making it the quickest M3 yet and arguably the most usable. Finished in Sanremo Green Metallic over Full Merino bicolour leather in Black with Kyalami Orange — a combination that captures the G80's willingness to embrace colour — this example has covered 23,904 miles from new.

The specification is thoughtfully chosen. The M Carbon Exterior Package sharpens the visual impact with exposed weave on the mirror caps, intakes and rear diffuser, while the Technology Plus Pack brings adaptive cruise, Parking Assistant Plus and the 360-degree camera system. The Visibility Pack adds BMW's Laserlight headlights, and the Comfort Pack along with a heated steering wheel and Drive Recorder round out a genuinely well-equipped car.

With 503 bhp and 649 lb-ft routed through the eight-speed Steptronic and the traction of xDrive, the M3 Competition covers 0-62 mph in 3.5 seconds and is electronically limited to 155 mph. A well-coloured, well-optioned example of the definitive modern super-saloon.
