5 reasons to buy the 2024 BMW M3

1. Enviable performance 

Performance is arguably one of the top reasons why anyone would consider buying the 2024 BMW M3. It’s fast and agile, with athletic handling and precise steering, creating a thrilling combination that makes it ready for the track at any time. It’s powered by a standard 473-hp 3.0L twin-turbo six-cylinder engine that’s paired with a six-speed manual transmission. With this kind of power, you can rest assured that the 2024 BMW M3 will be a hoot to drive. According to the manufacturer’s estimates, its zero-to-60 mph time is 4.1 seconds, with a top speed of 155 mph. 

2. Generous storage space 

Even though it’s primarily designed as a performance car, that doesn’t mean that the 2024 BMW M3 can’t have other useful functions. It’s a sedan that has ample room for cargo, with a 13-cu-ft trunk and split-folding rear seats, which increase the overall cargo volume to 17 cu-ft. This type of cargo capacity will allow you to haul several carry-on bags or a couple of small suitcases, as well as a couple of days’ worth of groceries or several pieces of sporting equipment. 

3. Driver-assistance technology 

The 2024 BMW M3 comes standard with numerous driver-assistance systems that will help you handle various traffic situations more confidently. It'll also support you as you navigate around town, especially on crowded streets and narrow parking lots. The lineup of driver-assistance features includes forward-collision warning and forward emergency braking, along with pedestrian detection and a rearview camera. Furthermore, it’s equipped with adaptive headlights and rain-sensing windshield wipers. 

4. Standard tech features 

Interior technology is another area that the 2024 BMW M3 excels in. It’s filled with entertainment and connectivity features that come as standard and are bound to enhance your riding experience. There is a 14.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto integration, along with two USB ports, a ten-speaker stereo system, and Bluetooth® connectivity.  

5. Imposing design 

Rounding out the sophisticated technology, versatility, and thrilling performance of the 2024 BMW M3 is a head-turning exterior design that’s bound to stand out from the crowd. It’s a design that combines function with aesthetics, with some features aimed at improving performance, with others there simply to make it look more attractive. For instance, it comes with a specially designed bumper that has an integrated diffuser, along with a streamlined spoiler increasing the aerodynamic capabilities, whereas the L-shaped LED taillights and the large vertical kidney grille just add to the impressive appearance.
