2026 BMW M3 Competition M xDrive Sedan Automatic

The 2026 BMW M3 Competition M xDrive Sedan combines the everyday practicality of a five-seat saloon with the focused engineering expected from BMW’s M division. Its automatic transmission and all-wheel-drive system give the car a broad range of capability, while the four-door layout retains the usability needed for regular travel rather than limiting the experience to occasional drives.

At the centre of the M3 Competition is a petrol engine producing 390 kW (530 hp) and 650Nm of torque. The published figures include a 0–100 km/h time of 3.50 seconds and a maximum speed of 250 km/h, providing a clear indication of the car’s performance orientation. The all-wheel-drive configuration is a particularly significant part of the package, helping the available output translate into confident acceleration and composed traction across changing road conditions.

The chassis specification is equally purposeful. Adaptive M Suspension allows the car’s damping characteristics to respond to the selected driving conditions, while the M Sport seats, M seat belts, M Compound brakes and M Sport differential reinforce its performance-focused character. The 19-inch front and 20-inch rear M forged wheels, finished in Silver with a Double Spoke 825 M design, add a distinctive visual signature and are fitted with mixed-size tyres.

Despite its performance hardware, the M3 is equipped for a comfortable and connected daily routine. Electric seat adjustment with memory, front-seat heating, driver and passenger lumbar support and a heated steering wheel help make longer journeys more accommodating. Automatic air conditioning and Comfort Access add further convenience, while the anthracite headliner, carbon-fibre interior trim finishers and full leather Merino Silverstone/Black upholstery create a distinctly considered cabin environment.

Technology is built around BMW Live Cockpit Professional, with Connected Package Professional, Personal eSIM, TeleServices and DAB+ radio included. The Harman Kardon Surround Sound System adds a higher-quality audio experience, while Wireless Charging Storage is designed to keep compatible devices integrated into the cabin. Driving Assistant Professional, Active Guard Plus, Active Protection and Active Pedestrian Protection provide a substantial suite of driver-assistance and safety-related functions.

Parking Assistant Plus, adaptive LED headlights and High-Beam Assistant are useful additions for day-to-day driving. The automatic tailgate, storage compartment package and folding rear-seat headrests help preserve the car’s practicality, while the tyre pressure monitor, tyre repair kit and alarm system provide additional reassurance. The specification also lists an interior rear-view mirror with automatic anti-dazzle functionality and an Intelligent Emergency Calling system.
