Overview
BMW’s G80 M3 is a five-seat compact executive performance sedan for drivers who want a petrol-powered, all-wheel-drive BMW with 503 hp. Launched in 2020, it is sold locally solely as the M3 Competition M xDrive Pro Pack. Prices start from RM846,800, putting it above the listed compact executive sedan rivals.
M3 in 2026 — what's new
The G80 BMW M3 carries into 2026 unchanged. This generation launched in 2020, and the Malaysian line-up remains the single M3 Competition M xDrive Pro Pack for buyers wanting a compact executive sedan. It pairs a 2,993 cc petrol engine producing 503 hp with an automatic transmission and AWD, and retains five seats.
Verdict
The M3’s case rests on its 503 hp petrol engine and AWD in a five-seat compact executive sedan. But it is not a price-led choice: it costs substantially more than the RM443,888 Mercedes-Benz AMG C-Class, RM440,078 Alfa Romeo Giulia and RM430,800 BMW i4 M50. Buyers need to want this exact G80 M3 specification, because Malaysia gets only one variant.
