Doug DeMuro gave the 2013 BMW M3 Coupe an enthusiastic 81/100 rating, praising it as a genuinely special car that represents the pinnacle of naturally aspirated M3 engineering. The performance and design stand out as exceptional—the 4.0L V8 delivers surprisingly linear power with 415 horsepower, and the ultra-rare frozen silver finish with its power bulge hood and distinctive Competition package wheels showcase purposeful styling that won't be repeated. The cabin technology presents a notable weakness at 30/100, with annoying turn signal stalks that return to center requiring repeated adjustments, though cool touches like the lighted gear selector and electronic seat belt system add character. DeMuro positions this as the high watermark of the M3 lineage before electrification takes over, making it the ultimate choice for enthusiasts seeking the last great analog BMW M performance car.
