Movin' Up: 2023 BMW M-Series Vehicles to Get Price Bumps

BMW just released prices for its 2023 lineup and prices are up across the board, with the M-series high-performance vehicles getting even heftier increases.

The base manual model 2023 BMW M3 is up $2,700 compared to the 2022 model, while the M3-Competition models, with either rear-wheel or all-wheel-drive xDrive, are both up $3,700 from 2022. Both the M4 and M4 Competition models get price increases by the same amount as well. This would set the price of a base 2023 M3 at $73,795, with the M4’s base price coming in at $75,695.

If the M5 is what you desire, note that the 2023 model is $4,200 more than the 2022 model, with its new base price coming in at $108,895. The M550i with its 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 even gets an increase of $3,100 for 2023.

On the ultra-pricey range of the M lineup, BMW had previously dramatically dropped its M8 prices by up to $16,000 for the 2022 model year, but those prices are set to rise in 2023. The M8 coupe and Gran Coupes are slated to rise by $4,100, giving them $135,095 base prices for 2023. The M8 convertible is up a stout $4,200 for a base price of $144,695. Meanwhile, the Alpina B8 sees its base price bumped up by a hefty $5,000 for 2023. These prices are still considerably lower than what was charged for the 2020 model year, but they’re now less of a bargain than they were in 2022.

Moving on to the M-Series SUVs, prices are up but not quite as dramatically as is the case for the sedans and coupes. The venerable BMW X3 M, X4 M, and X5 M-series all see moderate $2,800 price increases for 2023. If the X6 M is what you desire, that gets the greatest increase of all the SUVs, going up $4,100 to a new 2023 model year base price of $114,695. Last but not least, the iX M60’s price is also going up, with its new starting point set at $109,895, or $3,800 more than was previously announced by BMW for the 2023 model year.

  • Groza George My next car will be a PHEV truck if I can find one I like. I travel a lot for work and the only way I would get a full EV is if hotels and corporate housing all have charging stations.I would really like a Toyota Tacoma or Nissan Frontier PHEV
  • Slavuta Motor Trend"Although the interior appears more upscale, sit in it a while and you notice the grainy plastics and conventional design. The doors sound tinny, the small strip of buttons in the center stack flexes, and the rear seats are on the firm side (but we dig the ability to recline). Most frustrating were the repeated Apple CarPlay glitches that seemed to slow down the apps running through it."
  • Brandon I would vote for my 23 Escape ST-Line with the 2.0L turbo and a normal 8 speed transmission instead of CVT. 250 HP, I average 28 MPG and get much higher on trips and get a nice 13" sync4 touchscreen. It leaves these 2 in my dust literally
  • JLGOLDEN When this and Hornet were revealed, I expected BOTH to quickly become best-sellers for their brands. They look great, and seem like interesting and fun alternatives in a crowded market. Alas, ambitious pricing is a bridge too far...
  • Zerofoo Modifications are funny things. I like the smoked side marker look - however having seen too many cars with butchered wire harnesses, I don't buy cars with ANY modifications. Pro-tip - put the car back to stock before you try and sell it.
