Overview
The BMW M3 is a five-seat compact executive sedan for drivers who want a 503 hp petrol powertrain and all-wheel drive in one package. Malaysia gets the M3 Competition M xDrive Pro Pack, priced from RM846,800, with a 2,993 cc engine and automatic transmission.
M3 in 2026 — what's new
For 2026, the G80 BMW M3 carries on unchanged with the M3 Competition M xDrive Pro Pack as Malaysia’s sole version. It retains a 2,993 cc petrol engine rated at 503 hp, all-wheel drive, automatic transmission and five seats. The G80 M3 sedan also marks a Munich production milestone as the one-millionth BMW M car made there. This generation began in 2020.
Verdict
The M3’s specification is clear: 503 hp, a 2,993 cc petrol engine, AWD, an automatic transmission and five seats. But RM846,800 is a serious commitment, sitting far above the RM443,888 ceiling of the listed compact executive sedan rivals. Buyers must therefore place particular importance on the M3’s power output and all-wheel-drive layout, rather than expect its price to be justified by class positioning alone.
