The 2024 BMW M3 is a petrol sedan with RWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the G80 generation. The Competition is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured Competition version develops 503 hp and 650 Nm (479 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 3.9 seconds, which is seriously quick. Top speed is listed at 290 km/h (180 mph). Its power output is about 84% above the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 38% quicker than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Fuel economy and range
The listed fuel consumption is 10.2 L/100km. Fuel-tank capacity is 59.0 litres (15.6 US gallons). Recorded CO2 emissions are 234 g/km. Consumption, emissions and range can be measured under different regional procedures, so like-for-like comparisons should use the same market and test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,794 mm (188.7 in) in length, 1,903 mm (74.9 in) in width, and 1,433 mm (56.4 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,857 mm (112.5 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 480 litres (17.0 cu ft). The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,730 kg (3,814 lb). That cargo volume is about 11% above the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of Competition, Competition xDrive, and CS. Across the range, the specifications span 503 hp to 550 hp and 3.3 s to 3.9 s, while listed starting prices run from $76,900-$108,900. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby petrol sedan models from the same period, the 2024 BMW M3 is strongest on power and acceleration, while price stands out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
