Verdict

The M3 is defined by a 503 hp 2,993 cc petrol setup, AWD and five seats. Its RM846,800 entry price, however, sits far above the RM149,000-RM443,888 band occupied by the listed same-class rivals. The gap to the RM443,888 Mercedes-Benz AMG C-Class alone is RM402,912. Price-conscious compact-executive buyers will need to look elsewhere.
