Used 2015 BMW M3 for Sale

All 2015 M3s come standard with anti-lock disc brakes (supercar-grade carbon ceramic rotors are a very expensive option), stability control and eight airbags (front, front-side, front-knee and full-length side-curtain). Also standard is the BMW Assist emergency telematics system, which includes automatic accident notification, stolen vehicle tracking and roadside assistance.

The Driver Assistance Plus package adds a variety of electronic driving aids.

The low-volume M3 won't be crash-tested, but the 3 Series sedan that it's based on received high marks. In government crash-testing, the 3 Series earned five stars out of five overall, including four stars for front impacts and five for side impacts. Similarly, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) gave the 3 Series its top rating of Good in all crash tests except for the new small overlap front test, where the 3 Series was deemed Marginal (second-worst of four ratings).

2015 Audi S4 -- The 333-hp S4 technically plays one league down, doing battle against the 300-hp 335i sedan. But if you don't need all of the M3's insane performance, the S4 makes for a refined and classy substitute.

2015 Cadillac ATS-V -- With a 455-hp twin-turbo V6 under the hood, the compact ATS-V can get to 60 mph in under 4 seconds, and it's one of the best-handling sedans in the world.

2015 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG -- We're not talking about the outgoing previous-generation coupe (which is still being sold as a 2015 model), but rather the upcoming current-generation sedan. Its formidable twin-turbo V8 will have the M3 directly in its sights.

Used BMW M3 -- The previous-generation M3 was an instant classic with its racy V8, and we particularly like the styling on the sedan. You can easily find a certified pre-owned specimen with a warranty for many thousands less than a new M3.

Autotrader's Advice

If you've got the cash, pull the trigger. The M3 is one of those cars that everyone should own once, and the latest model's capabilities are simply astounding.
