2014 BMW M3 Sedan

2014 to 2018 · Sedan

The F80 M3 marked BMW's controversial shift from naturally aspirated V8 to twin-turbo inline-six, but what seemed like heresy on paper delivered brilliance on track. The S55 3.0-liter twin-turbo produces 425 horsepower and 406 lb-ft, making this the most powerful production M3 ever. Unlike its E90/E92 predecessor, the F80 returned to sedan-only configuration, emphasizing its role as the ultimate sports sedan. The carbon fiber roof, adaptive M suspension, and optional Competition Package transformed an already formidable machine into something genuinely special. Production ran through 2018, with Competition Package cars commanding premiums today. While purists initially mourned the loss of the V8's wail, the F80's explosive torque delivery and razor-sharp handling have won converts. Clean examples with desirable options—particularly Competition Package cars—are increasingly sought after as collectors recognize this as the last analog M3 before the G80's controversial redesign.
