We pulled car insurance quotes from top insurance companies to find that the average monthly cost to insure a BMW M3 is $275.16 — or, $3,302 annually. However, your actual costs depend on your driving history, vehicle model and year, ZIP plus other factors. Some older models may cost less to insure than others depending on which safety features your vehicle has and which insurer you choose.

The M3’s moderate car value, expectedly high safety and few thefts should keep your insurance rates down for a luxury sedan. Keep in mind that insurance companies use a variety of factors that weigh into your rates, including your location and driving record.
You won’t see higher insurance premiums solely because of the M3’s value. The M3 has a starting price tag of $70,895, which rides in the middle of other luxury performance cars.
The M3 hasn’t been crash-tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). However, similar BMWs like the 3-Series score top ratings from safety organizations.
The latest theft rate for the BMW M3 is 0.28 per 1,000 cars made. This rate is much lower than the NHTSA’s median of 3.58 thefts per 1,000 cars, showing that the M3 doesn’t have much history of theft.
Theft rates are for the latest model year with theft data available and should be used only for a general idea of theft history. The NHTSA database currently includes theft data for 2004 to 2014 models.
While you’ll pay more for insurance than nonluxury sedans, rest assured that the BMW M3’s premium is similar to other luxury performance cars. As we’d expect, though, cars with a lower price tag or less powerful engine like the 2021 Dodge Charger see lower rates.
