What Owners are Saying About the 2026 BMW M3
"ONE OF THE BEST M3'S EVER"
"If you know how to drive a car w 500+ hp rear wheel drive , I can comfortably say this beast is one of the best performance cars out there on the road, fast, quick , constant acceleration up to 180mph without slipping on performance, handles great, sexy looks, comfortable and intimidates everything else around. If I have to complain, there would be only one issue , that is the brakes. Upgrade to a high performance brake pads from its original m3. thats all really, what a fun ride! Highly recommend the BMW Performance race school if you wanna up your game."
"M3 braking problems"
"The brakes are good but sometimes! From the beginning I complained about the brakes and bmw said it’s normal. It keeps happening random and almost crashed because of it so I took it back with a video of the issue then bmw said it doesn’t have a fix for it. The other day in the rain it was acting up causing me to crash so be careful buying m3 m4 because my friends having same issues with his m4 been happening since 6k miles"
