Performance Cars vary from marque to model. Each one is unique, yet all of them embody similar traits. These traits include: performance, power, and a thrill.

The BMW ‘M Sport’ range has a variety of popular models, such as: M2, M3, and M5. The M3, however, is extremely popular amongst car enthusiasts. Whether you’re a fan of the BMW marque or not, you can’t deny the capability, design, and performance that the M3 has to offer.

Performance Cars: the BMW M3 (2007-2013)

From new, the M3 isn’t the cheapest of cars; you can expect to pay around £52,000 all the way up to £74,000. However, despite this, you do get a lot for your money, after all, you are opting for the ‘M Sport’ range.

The car has a 4.0 litre engine which is able to give out a whopping 420 BHP and can get from 0-62mph in a very quick 4.9 seconds. It’s fully equipped with a powerful V8 engine which equates to giving out more than 100 BHP per litre. The acceleration pull is strong and, as a result, will provide you with short, sharp, and accurate gear changes. Fancy experiencing practically zero body roll around corners? Then this is the car for you!

Insurance for a BMW M3

For a car as powerful and expensive as this one, it would be fair to say that a ‘Performance Car Insurance’ policy would suit its needs and requirements. You’ll want to insure under a comprehensive policy and ensure that all of the details are covered, should the worst happen, and they need to be replaced.

The insurance group rating for the M3 ranges from 43-45. This rating is out of 50 so as you can tell, the M3 will be at the higher end of your insurance budget. We estimate that for a 28-year-old male, with full NCB and no claims history, living in a low-crime rate area, the price for an annual insurance policy would be £435.
