Hmm, for someone new to BMWs, can anyone explain why the M3 commands such a premium over the others? Is it just the performance?

It’s definitely part of it, but the M3 has a racing pedigree, a strong community, and iconic status that push its value up even more.
And don’t forget about the styling! The M3 has that iconic look that really appeals to enthusiasts. If you can find a good one, it’s worth the jump in price.

True! A well-maintained 325i can be a better daily driver, though. It really depends on what you’re looking for: fun vs. collectibility.

Don’t forget the weirdness factor! I once saw a 318i with a manual swap for sale. It had some charm but was priced pretty high due to the work done on it!
Haha, that’s hilarious! But yeah, mods can add both character and value or just be a red flag. Always do your research!
