M3
The performance variant of [[BMW]]'s [[bmw 3 series|3 Series]] lineup, first introduced during the [[BMW e30|E30]] generation in 1986. The car was primarily sold as a [[sports car|coupe]] until 2014, with sedan variants available for the E36 and E90 generations. From 2014, the M3 is only sold as a sedan, with the coupe and convertible versions rebranded into the [[BMW m4|M4]].

A customized version of the E46 M3 GT-R racecar starred as the cover car in the original [[Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005)|]], and is considered the most recognizable vehicle from the series with return appearances in many of the succeeding titles.
