2018 BMW M3 Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, drivers love the 2018 BMW M3 for its power, comfort, and refined interior. Many reviewers appreciate the smooth ride and numerous tech features. However, some have critiqued its handling compared to older models, feeling that it lacks the same driving dynamics and instant power. The artificial engine noise has also raised some concerns among owners."
Comparing with the e92 m3 competition I have: The car I own is a 2018 M3 with competition pack and executive pack and all the options. Black on red spec. This car looks more aggressive. It has more tech, it looks more nicer and modern. It doesnt feel much faster to he honest. The steering feels wider, I have to turn the steering wheel a lot more for the car to really turn. I almost clipped my front end corner of my car because how wide the the car turns as compared to my e92 m3. The e92 m3 feels more like a drivers car. Unlike the f80, the e92 m3 feels instant power and it feels like you go faster and faster. The transmission also feels more aggressive and it really smacks you to the seat on every gear change. The f80 just doesnt feel that way. I love hearing the loud screaming v8, it sounds and feels like it just loves to Rev. It wants to push its limits. The f80 doesnt feel that way, I also dont know how to feel about the fake engine noise in the interior when you rev it out. You want to hear the actual exhaust note but the car forces you to listen to this artificial BS. Its too loud as well. Its a more beautiful car, but the whole driving dynamics is not as good as the e92 m3.
March 24, 2022This M3 was so incredibly clean and like new and more than worth the premium price with low mileage and a perfect pre-inspection. I just drove it home from Detroit to Louisville and loved every minute of it.
September 28, 2024The car rides smooth. Shifts great. Lots of power when you need it

February 8, 2021I traded in a 2018 Alfa Giulia Quadrofolio for this. The Alfa was a tiny bit faster and its steering was better. But the M3 is a much better all around car. If you plan to use your car for anything other than rolling up to cars & coffee, the Alfa would wear you out. The M3 can go hard on a country road too but also leave you with your senses still intact after a multi-hour road trip. The Interior room, comfort and finishes are better. The elctronics are much better. And my M3 is a 6-speed manual, something not available on the Alfa.
September 7, 2020Okay so listen here, I have driven thousands of cars. A few faster and very few with better handling. And the f80 m3 IN A 6 SPEED TRUE MANUAL is a breath taking car
