Скачать или смотреть Why the 2026 BMW M3 is the Last Great Gas Powered M3

The legend continues. The 2026 BMW M3 Competition remains the absolute benchmark for high-performance luxury sedans. Hammering out up to 523 horsepower from its twin-turbo S58 engine, this is a machine that feels just as at home on the Nürburgring as it does on the daily commute. Starting at $80,650 in the USA and £84,215 in the UK, the M3 isn't just a car—it’s a symbol of driving purity.

In today’s deep dive, we explore why the G20/G80 generation 3 Series remains unshaken at the top of its class. We test the supercar-rivaling 3.4-second 0-60 time of the Competition xDrive, explore the new iDrive 8.5 digital sanctuary, and put the M-tuned chassis to the limit. We also compare the M3 against its fiercest rivals: the hybrid Mercedes-AMG C63 and the new Audi A5.
