BMW M3

While the latest 4^th generation BMW M3 is in stiff competition with the Mercedes C63 AMG and Audi S4, it’s an easy choice if you value appearance and performance. As expected from BMW, the M3’s unique design sets it apart from the standard 3 series making it sure to turn heads. Available in coupe and convertible body styles (the sedan was discontinued in early 2012), the M3 shows off 18 inch racing inspired wheels, a limited-slip rear differential, sport seats, a carbon fiber roof and numerous other luxury options. Under the hood is only more impressive--this monster is powered by a 414 horsepower 4.0 liter V8 with a seven-speed dual clutch automated-manual transmission. It will get from 0-60 in a quick 4.6 seconds, sending 295 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. Entry level pricing starts at $60,100 for the coupe and $68,750 for the convertible. As expected from BMW, fully speced you’ll have to part with $87,589.
