Which M3 trim does Edmunds recommend?
We suggest opting for the Competition model if you can do without a manual transmission. You get additional power, quicker acceleration and the option of all-wheel drive for only a small premium. The Competition also allows you to add the Driving Assistance Professional package, which includes a bundle of advanced driver aids.
