Life doesn’t get much faster than the autobahn inspired 2012 BMW M3 luxury coupe and convertible.

Previously available as a sedan, BMW drops the model temporarily making way for a redesigned version which should appear in 2012. For now, the 2012 BMW M3 coupe and convertible will compete against the Lexus IS-F, Audi S4, and Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG.

The reason you want an M3: it’s fast – real fast. A 414-horsepower, 4.0-liter V-8 generates 295 pounds-feet of torque and revs to a sky-high 8,400 rpm for a zero-to-60 time of 4.8 seconds. Double-vanos variable valve timing and individual throttle bodies for each cylinder improve throttle response aid in the overall performance of the M3. Choose between a six-speed manual transmission and an optional seven-speed dual-clutch automated manual with paddle shifters. Fuel economy ratings are on par with the power ratings at 13-14 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway.

It’s easy to tell an M3 apart from other BMW 3 Series vehicles with its distinct bulge (called a ‘powerdome’) on the hood and two large, lower front air intakes, which add to the sleek, yet muscle-oriented design, as do the flared front and rear fenders. Other standard exterior equipment includes an M rear apron with diffuser, M quad polished exhaust tips, exterior side-view mirrors in body color with double bridge in black, front and rear spoilers (except on convertible models), carbon-fiber roof, xenon adaptive low- and high-beam headlights, and double spoke Satin Chrome finish M 19-inch light alloy wheels. The convertible features a power-folding retractable hardtop with an integrated rear-window defroster.

As menacing as the 2012 BMW M3 is on the exterior and under the hood, it is just as sharp and modern on the inside with Novillo leather upholstery, power-adjustable front sport seats, Titanium Shadow interior trim, push button start/stop, M-design instrument cluster with titanium-finish-ringed instrument dials, door sills with M3 logo, and ambient lighting as standard equipment. A moonroof, heated front seats, navigation system with iDrive, iPod and USB adapter, and a 16-speaker, 825-watt premium sound system are optional.

Safety is a big part of the 2012 BMW M3 and comes in the form of the M Mobility System, adaptive brake lights, front-seat-mounted side-impact airbags, side curtain airbags (coupe), head extensions for side-impact airbags (convertible) and large four-wheel-disc brakes all as standard equipment.

Go fast and furious in the performance-oriented 2012 BMW M3 coupe and convertible.

*Incentive programs are subject to change at any time by the manufacturer.

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?

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?

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?
