Need a lease car for nipping to the shops as well as going sideways around the Nürburgring? You'll want to get behind the wheel of BMW’s blisteringly-quid M3 Competition Saloon.
Revised and refreshed in 2024, the M3 Competition Saloon gets peak power of 530 hp and a 0-62 mph acceleration time as low as 3.5 seconds. Yet with a focus on comfort, it's also a daily driver.

The grunt arrives courtesy of a 3.0 litre, six cylinder in-line petrol with bespoke M TwinPower Turbo technology, which generates torque of 650 Nm, on tap between 2,700 and 5,500rpm.
While the top speed is electronically limited to 155mph, rising to 180mph if you go for the optional ‘M Pro Package’. Fitted as standard is an eight-speed M Steptronic transmission with ‘Drivelogic’, that comes with carbon gearshift paddles on the steering wheel - a simple tap of a paddle and the driver can switch from automatic to manual mode. You'll also enjoy BMW’s ‘xDrive’ all-wheel-drive system, which can be switched to a rear-wheel bias 2WD mode at the touch of a button.
The ‘M Drive Professional’ system has been developed specifically for track driving, giving drivers all they need to record a perfect lap - from drift analysis to a laptimer that uploads all of your stats to your mobile phone. Meanwhile there are three modes to adjust the suspension alongside a ten stage traction control system.
Inside the motorsports-inspired cockpit there’s BMW's twin-screen Curved Display with sat nav, alongside a full suite of driver assistance and safety features, including parking sensors, front collision warning with brake intervention and lane departure warning with steering assistance.
Rivals to the BMW M3 Competition Saloon include the Audi RS5 Sportback and the Alfa Romeo Giulia in Quadrifoglio spec.
