2010 BMW M3 Overview

Price Range: $55,400 to $67,050

Your Price: Ask Us

While it is rare to find the right balance of sports-car performance and everyday versatility, the 2010 BMW M3 succeeds in providing that balance to today’s luxury driver.

Under that muscular hood is a 414-horsepower, 4.0-liter V-8. This phenomenal engine smashes through the coveted 100 horsepower-per-liter mark and leaves you hanging on for dear life. Variable camshaft control and eight throttle valves ensure optimal airflow to the combustion chambers, while the spark plugs do double-duty to sense and help prevent bad combustion.

Power is delivered through a precise six-speed manual or a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Intelligent alternator control utilizes energy from regenerative braking to charge the battery, thus improving fuel economy. The M3 achieves 13-14 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway. Fuel economy is better than the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG, but a bit behind the Lexus IS-F.

Available in sedan, coupe and retractable-hardtop convertible, this rear-wheel drive machine features the optional Electronic Damper Control system which quickly adjusts damping rates to suit road conditions. With EDC, the driver selects between Normal, Sport and Comfort modes to determine the relative ride stiffness. A carbon-fiber roof helps keep the weight down for fun driving and enhanced fuel economy.

Leather and cloth upholstery join dual-zone climate control and a ten-speaker stereo to create an enjoyable interior space. The Cold Weather Package includes heated front seats, and the Premium Package upgrades the interior with wood, brushed aluminum or carbon leather trim pieces. Sirius Satellite Radio, an 825-watt, 16-speaker stereo upgrade and a navigation system with traffic updates are options that take the M3 to the next level. Available technologies allow your BMW to communicate its service needs to your dealer and – at the push of a button – to contact a help center in the event of a crash.

Stopping power is provided by 14.2-inch front and 13.8-inch rear cast iron brake rotors riding on floating aluminum hubs. The floating feature reduces rotor warping for greater component durability and performance. Dynamic Stability Control keeps the M3 composed in low-grip situations, as does the antilock brake system. Adaptive headlights pivot with the wheels, to improve visibility into the turn. A complement of airbags and a stiff structure with good crumple zones helps the 2010 BMW M3 achieve Four- and Five-Star impact ratings from NHTSA.

One of the most athletic sports cars on the road today, with nearly unsurpassed acceleration and handling, the 2010 BMW M3 will make enthusiasts’ mouths water and everyday drivers excited to see what all the hubbub is about.

Secret 1
Consumer Incentives

 

Zero percent financing, employee discount, cash back, out-the-door price tags...

Most dealers work hard to offer the public competitive prices. These incentives can grab your attention, but they can also obscure the actual terms you're getting on your purchase.

How can you fully understand incentives to get the lowest possible price on your car?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

 

 

Secret 2
Finance & Insurance

 

Most state franchise laws prohibit manufacturers from selling cars directly to the public, so the dealer will be your middleman. But in terms of financing and insurance, you can choose a bank or the dealer directly.

How can you determine what's in your best interest?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 5
Dealer Holdback

 

The car manufacturer holds back a fraction of the price of all vehicles the dealership sells. Then, it returns the money to the dealership, usually on a quarterly basis.

Dealer holdback began its life as a safety net that ensured the manufacturers would have a security deposit of sorts if a dealership missed payments, and the dealerships would have money on hand to cover overhead costs when the holdback was returned.

How can you take advantage of dealer holdbacks to get the bottom line price?

Secret 6
Dealer Incentives

 

Unlike consumer incentives, dealer incentives are factory-to-dealer incentives that reduce the dealer's true cost to buy the vehicle from the factory to below invoice.

Manufacturers offer these incentives on a regional basis to generate sales on specific models. These incentives are sometimes referred to as "spiffs," and they can touch off competition among dealers to move slower-selling stock.

For instance, a dealer incentive may kick in when a certain sales target is reached, with each subsequent sale resulting in a higher factory-to-dealer rebate. How can you benefit from that?

Secret 3
Additional Costs

 

Destination charges, taxes, license and title fees, advertising fees... When going to a dealership, you must ask for an explanation of any fee you don't understand. But you need to choose your battles wisely. Your local car dealer may have taken a loss or slim profit along the way, and your fighting over something like a doc fee when the deal is nearly wrapped up may be counterproductive.

In any case, there are many fees and charges in the sale process: some inevitable, others questionable. How do you tell them apart?

Secret 4
Trade-in Value

 

If you currently own a car, it probably represents profit. The question is, whose profit will it be?

With few exceptions, you'll get the most money for your used car by selling it privately. That's because dealers pay wholesale prices — not retail prices — for used cars, and they sell them at retail.

Your current car's value can be used to lower the price on your new car. However, most people underestimate their used car's value when going to a dealership. How can you maximize your value?
