Used 2022 BMW M3 Sedan Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2022 BMW M3 is available in three trim levels: the base M3, the M3 Competition and the M3 Competition xDrive. All three use a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder. It produces 473 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque in the standard model and 503 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque in the M3 Competition and Competition xDrive. Rear-wheel-drive is standard, and all-wheel drive (xDrive) is a new feature for the Competition model only. A six-speed manual transmission is standard in the base M3 sedan. An eight-speed automatic is optional on the base model and the only available transmission on the Competition or Competition xDrive. Feature highlights include:
Which M3 trim does Edmunds recommend?
If you're going the BMW M3 route, we suggest going all the way with the M3 Competition xDrive. Not only does it increase driver confidence on slippery roads, but it also adds a healthy dose of acceleration and handling. Even better, brave drivers can select rear-wheel drive only whenever they wish. The only downside? BMW's slick-shifting manual transmission is reserved for the standard M3.
