BMW M3 Competition

Grey · Black interior · Gloss

The M3 has spent nearly four decades as the car other manufacturers benchmark, and the Competition sharpens everything without making it unusable. This one is rear-wheel drive, which is the purist's configuration and the more playful one. Grey over black keeps it quiet until someone reads the badge — then it will happily do a canyon road and a dinner reservation on the same tank.

What makes it special

  • Rear-wheel drive Competition specification — the more involving of the two M3 layouts
  • Four doors and a real back seat: supercar pace without the two-seat compromise
  • Understated grey over black, so it draws attention from people who know rather than everyone on the street

Worth knowing

The original M3 of 1986 existed only so BMW could go Group A touring car racing — the road cars were built to satisfy homologation rules, and it went on to become one of the most successful touring cars ever raced.

Your Arizona experience

The loop out to Bartlett Lake and back on a cool morning, then straight into an ordinary Scottsdale afternoon without planning the day around the car.
