2011 BMW M3 Sedan 4D Standard Features
2011 BMW M3
KBB.com Review
Any iteration of the M3 is – at least in today’s automotive spectrum – truly a wolf in sheep’s clothing. With performance that borders on the supercar descriptive, in a subtle color – and to the vast majority of the population – the M3 isn’t all that distinguishable from the 328. And if you don’t possess a law degree – or a close relative with a law degree – not gaining undue attention while going fast is an extremely good strategy.
If subtle isn’t exactly your thing, any number of alternatives competitive with the M3’s price point ($60,000) would most certainly attract more attention. The Cayman comes to mind, as does Cadillac’s CTS-V, Nissan’s GT-R and the Lexus IS-F. All are worth a test drive, but will ultimately not deliver the M3’s carefully constructed balance of performance, quality and already-iconic stature.
