Reviews SummaryWe love the 2023 BMW M3 with the same fervour as the Jeep Wrangler and the Mazda MX-5. But unlike those two fun but singularly purposed vehicles, the 2023 M3 can be many things at once, all wrapped up in a single package. A BMW M3 doesn’t come cheap, but it strikes us as well worth the money. | |
Reviews SummaryAvailable in coupe, convertible, and sedan (Gran Coupe) body styles, the M8 is based on the BMW 8 Series and gets a full workup from the wizards who perform their magic at the BMW M division. This year, all M8 models come in Competition specification, a new 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system is standard, and a new M Carbon front bucket seat option is available. Plus, BMW offers the 2023 M8 in more exterior colours than before. | |
