Are you looking for a used BMW M3?

Are you considering purchasing a used large sized family car? The BMW M3 is a solid choice. On AutoUncle, you can find 465 used BMW M3s for sale in the UK, each one sourced from an online marketplace or dealership website.

How much does a used BMW M3 cost?

The price of a used BMW M3 ranges from £7,925 for the cheapest model to £84,635 for the latest and most well-equipped model.

There are five main parameters that affect what a used BMW M3 costs: the year of manufacturing, engine capacity and power, fuel economy, vehicle mileage as well as trim level.

For example, a car that's younger with fewer miles on the odometer will typically command a higher price. Similarly, models at the higher end boasting luxurious features or more powerful engines tend to come with a heftier price tag than, for example, an older model with more kilometres driven or with a lower equipment level.

Which equipment options does BMW M3 have?

As you examine the price of a used BMW M3, it's necessary to compare vehicles with identical engines and equipment. If not, you might draw an inaccurate conclusion about which car to acquire.

Is the BMW M3 available in different fuel variants?

The primary energy source for the BMW M3 is petrol.

Your current driving habit is a determining factor when it comes to picking a fuel type. Do you find yourself driving more in urban settings or on open highways and expressways? How much distance do you travel in an average week?

If your trips are mostly short, electric, plug-in hybrid or petrol may make the most sense. For daily long-distance driving, the electric car is often ideal - especially with a charger at home or at work. If you have a daily commute over longer distances, a modern electric car can be a great choice - especially if you have access to charging at home or at work. Diesel cars may still be relevant in some cases with very long journeys and lack of charging options. Keep in mind that certain countries have bans on high-emission diesel engines entering their cities.

In which body types are the BMW M3 available?

Sedan is the preferred body type amongst drivers of the BMW M3. Their four-door design means that saloons and sedans have long been popular with families. The distinct boot compartment ensures that luggage and other items are securely stored, away from the passenger cabin.

  • BMW M3 sedan: 161 cars - average price £50,334
  • BMW M3 coupe: 100 cars - average price £15,745
