The standard 2025 BMW M3 is the enthusiast's choice in the G80 lineup, the only version still offered with a row-your-own six-speed manual and rear-wheel drive. Its 3.0-liter S58 twin-turbo inline-six makes 473 hp and 406 lb-ft, routed through a clutch pedal rather than the eight-speed automatic that the Competition and xDrive cars require. BMW quotes 0-60 mph in 4.1 seconds, with top speed rising to 180 mph when the M Driver's Package is fitted. It is slower on paper than the all-wheel-drive Competition, but it is the configuration that keeps the classic M3 formula alive.

BMW global technical-data PDF gives an exact 0-100 km/h value for the six-speed manual M3 Sedan; marked medium because the seed variant is US-market and the citation is global-market press material.
