In this review by TheStraightPipes, they take a spin in the 2025 BMW M3 with a manual transmission and launch control. Pumping out 473 horsepower and 46 pound-feet of torque from its 3L twin-turbo inline 6-cylinder engine, this M3 means business. The team dives into the changes in design, highlighting the new headlights, wheels, and a striking yellow color that sets this M3 apart from the rest. While the manual transmission experience is not flawless due to a quirky clutch bite point and rubbery shifts, the team appreciates the gearshift assistant and rev-matching capabilities.

Moving on to the driving experience, the team praises the M3's handling and suspension, noting its adaptability for daily driving and even accommodating a family with its practicality. They explore the manual transmission's unique charm, allowing for exhilarating skidding experiences that are unmatched by automatics. Despite the lack of adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist, the M3 offers regular cruise control and eye-tracking radar for added safety features. Inside the cabin, the full-screen infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay, and convenient heated seats and steering wheel enhance the overall driving experience.

The team delves into the exterior design details, discussing the presence of carbon fiber elements and the absence of a carbon hood. They appreciate the M3's unique aesthetic touches, like the silver badges and carbon mirrors, adding a touch of flair to the overall look. While the car may lack certain high-tech features, it makes up for it with a driver-focused manual transmission experience and impressive performance capabilities. Overall, the 2025 BMW M3 impresses with its power, handling, and unique design elements, making it a standout choice in the sports sedan segment.
