Business Car Manager verdict
If you need saloon car practicality but want performance and handling that could rival a Porsche 911 then the M3 is still our favourite choice. It’s a great business car and a superb sports saloon without compromising either.
It’s now faster than you could ever possibly need but it’s actually more usable than ever, too.
We’d have absolutely no trouble recommending this as a car you use everyday, and it’s that ability combined with incredible handling that makes the M3 such a performance car legend. And this latest model is a fitting addition to the legacy.
