2016 marks the 30th anniversary of a motoring icon, one which revolutionised the mid-size sports car segment when its production started in 1986. The very first BMW M3 set a new standard by which other carmakers would be measured – and, five model generations later, are still judged today. BMW Motorsport Division, the precursor to BMW M Division, was incredibly rigorous in its deployment of undiluted motor racing technology in the development of the first-generation BMW M3. Its endeavours produced a thoroughbred high-performance sports car – based on the series-produced BMW 3 Series – that was perfectly suited to daily use. Over the three decades that have followed, BMW M has gently refined its trailblazing and highly successful creation from one generation to the next, while always taking great care to preserve the original character of the M3. The upshot is that there is arguably still no other car that blends such prominently honed motor sport genes and uncompromised everyday practicality into such an emotionally stirring overall package.

Lease vs. Buying
Benefits of Leasing
Leasing can be the most financially advantageous way of driving a BMW. Perhaps that’s why more than half of BMW drivers lease. We are committed to providing the most competitive leasing programs, so you can drive a larger, more powerful, better-equipped BMW. Leasing does not require the same cash commitment; you only pay for the value of the vehicle you use during its lease. And, at the end of lease term, you have the flexibility to turn in your BMW for another, re-lease for additional term, buy at set agreement price, or turn in and walk away. Leasing with BMW Financial Services adds the security of keeping it all under one roof. From test drive to lease end, the BMW family meets all your automotive needs.
