2018 BMW M3 consumer reviews

BMW's, specifically M series can sometimes get a bad rep for reliability and the markup in service cost if out of warranty. This couldn't be further from the truth...I've owned two f80 M3s and these things are extremely well-engineered and other than the random crankhub issues (typically caused by loose crankbolts from the factory or bad tunes that on-ramp torque too quickly) these cars are bullet-proof. I've put over 70,000 miles on this chassis and have had ZERO headaches, zero mechanical surprises and nothing but a xxxx eating grin from ear to ear each and every time I drive one. BMW did a knockout job mechanically and cosemetically with this generation F8X M3 and they've prooven to hold-up against the test of time. With petrol engines being phased out, this car is sure to continue to hold it's value!!!

I was involved in a traffic accident, on 2/23/2021. My car was towed to Principle BMW of San Antonio .I went to pick the car several days later when they told me it was ready. The car didn't drive right and all my belongings were stolen. My .45 .Kimber, my Ray Ban, prescription glasses, my laptop and briefcase and Escort radar detector are missing 😑. The end of the story is they got paid $15,000+ and demanded a additional amount of $5000 from me. The car still as of 4/5/2022 isn't fixed and doesn't drive. AVOID PRINCIPLE BMW!!!

If you don’t own this far you should .. it has style , class , sporty look , good for the family and it is very comfortable

The car met and exceeded my needs. I have always wanted to own a BMW M3 because of their reputation and because i am big BMW fan.

This car is an absolute monster on the street but feels like the safest car I've ever driven. They really thought of everything - I don't think there's a better or more fun car out there.

What an amazing car for a true enthusiast. For those interested in purse enthusiast vehicle then look no further! Also, special shout out to David Aviles my Client Advisor at BMW Catonsville.

Perfect combination of speed and practicality. 5 seats and a full trunk mixed with 444 HP. Only issue I had was some premature clutch wear that was replaced under warranty.

The M3 competition is almost the ideal daily driver. Very roomy and very easy to drive - with a suspension on the very stiff side. I think it looks awesome and very "stealth" - most people probably think it's a regular 3 series. There's one severe design flaw though. The M3 bombards it's own doors and side panels with road debris. After ~5000 miles you'll have more rock-chips on both doors(!!) than you ever had on any car combined. Disappointing for an otherwise perfectly engineered masterpiece.

This is one of the most enjoyable cars I have ever been able to drive even if it was such a short trip....and the asking amount of the car was very comperable to others in the area

Improved gas mileage over the older model. Amazing handling, lots of power, fun and exciting car to drive. The only thing I would improve is the exhaust sound of the car. Doesn?t sound as aggressive as it looks. Missing that big deep growl.
