2025 BMW M3 price and specs
The 2025 BMW M3 lineup has been trimmed down to three variants in Australia, with the performance sedan and wagon due in local showrooms between October and December 2024.
BMW revealed its facelifted M3 in May, with the flagship all-wheel drive Competition xDrive grades gaining a power bump and all variants scoring new adaptive LED headlights, revised wheel designs and a refreshed cabin.
However, BMW Australia has since confirmed the rear-wheel drive M3 Competition – which sat as the middle-rung sedan – will no longer be a part of the lineup, an identical move to that which the carmaker made with the M4 lineup in January.
