Which is the better M3 for your money? The new 2023 M3 Competition X-Drive Jahre has all the technology BMW has ever put in an M3: Selectable AWD, Drift mode, 8-speed auto, adaptive dampers, and screeeeeens. You can frighten people and Porsches for under $100k.

But for less than $50k you can buy an F80 M3 that still has a manual transmission. Plus, it also has a twin-turbo inline-6, like the new one.

How are they different? Is the money worth the tech? Are the cars fundamentally different? Let's find out.
