BMW 3-Series M3 (07 on) - Review

The M3 is well equipped - but then it should be considering that it costs £50,000-plus. All models get 18-inch alloy wheels in dark graphite, M Sports suspension, cruise control, Dynamic Stability Control Plus (DSC+), rear parking sensors, rain sensors, automatic headlights, xenon headlights, M Sports seats with electric adjustment in the front, climate control, electric windows, three-spoke multifunction leather steering wheel, sat nav, auxiliary input, leather upholstery and metallic paint. That's not to say there aren't plenty of options on offer including the seven speed DCT gearbox, 19-inch alloys, electronic damper control (EDC), adaptive headlights, heated seats, folding mirrors and a CD changer. The Competition Package, introduced in March 2010 gets exclusive 19-inch wheels and a more advanced stability control system.
