2027 BMW M3 Sedan Trims: Which One Is Right for You?

2027-bmw-m3.j

The 2027 BMW M3 Sedan comes in three distinct configurations, and the differences between them go beyond a spec sheet — they shape how the car feels, how it puts power down, and how it handles every condition you encounter. Knowing what separates each trim before you test drive saves time and sharpens the conversation. BMW of Northwest Arkansas in Bentonville, AR carries the full 2027 BMW M3 Sedan lineup and can help you find the configuration that fits how you drive.

The BMW M3 Sedan

The base 2027 BMW M3 Sedan is the only trim in the lineup offered with a six-speed manual gearbox — a meaningful distinction for anyone who wants a direct, unfiltered connection to the drivetrain. The 3.0-liter BMW M TwinPower Turbo™ inline-six produces 473 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque, with rear-wheel drive standard and a zero-to-60-mph time of 4.1 seconds. Standard equipment includes:

  • M-specific suspension
  • M compound brakes
  • Merino leather upholstery
  • M steering wheel with red 12 o’clock strip and M tri-color stitching
  • BMW Curved Display with 14.9-inc Central Information Display
  • Configurable 12.3-inch M-specific Instrument Cluster
  • Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ capabilities

The BMW M3 Competition Sedan

The 2027 BMW M3 Competition Sedan centers its upgrade on output and transmission. The 3.0-liter BMW M TwinPower Turbo inline-six produces 503 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque, paired exclusively with an eight-speed M Steptronic® automatic and rear-wheel drive. The zero-to-60-mph time reaches 3.8 seconds.

The BMW M3 Competition xDrive Sedan

The 2027 BMW M3 Competition xDrive Sedan tops the lineup of this new BMW model with 523 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque through an 8-speed M Steptronic automatic and full-time M xDrive® all-wheel drive. The zero-to-60-mph time of 3.4 seconds is 0.4 seconds quicker than the BMW M3 Competition Sedan, and a selectable rear-wheel-drive mode is standard.
