BMW M3 buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The M3’s hard facts are serious: 503 hp, AWD and five-seat sedan practicality in one package. But its price sits far above the RM149,000 to RM443,888 span of the 10 listed compact executive sedan rivals, including the RM443,888 Mercedes-Benz AMG C-Class and RM440,078 Alfa Romeo Giulia. Buyers are paying a substantial premium for this specific M3 configuration.
