As the country hits the road again, let\u2019s keep the fun going. We like cars, you like cars, so let\u2019s look at some cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to performance luxury sedans, the <a href=\"https:\/\/turo.com\/us\/en\/car-rental\/united-states\/bmw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BMW<\/a> M3 has been the gold standard for decades. Whatever you think of the newest design, every generation of the M3 seems to strike just the right balance of exciting performance and daily usability, and the current car is no exception. Bashar\u2019s brand-new 2022 BMW M3 Competition represents the best, and greenest, of the new crop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"http:\/\/turo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/lZ7hq4xJQJqG0uM6EU0-Sg-1024x512.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24692\" srcset=\"https:\/\/turo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/lZ7hq4xJQJqG0uM6EU0-Sg-1024x512.webp 1024w, https:\/\/turo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/lZ7hq4xJQJqG0uM6EU0-Sg-300x150.webp 300w, https:\/\/turo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/lZ7hq4xJQJqG0uM6EU0-Sg-768x384.webp 768w, https:\/\/turo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/lZ7hq4xJQJqG0uM6EU0-Sg-1536x768.webp 1536w, https:\/\/turo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/lZ7hq4xJQJqG0uM6EU0-Sg-2048x1024.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Bashar&#8217;s 2022 BMW M3 Competition (Bethesda, MD)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Competition is the more hardcore variant aimed at enthusiasts, which comes with a power boost, larger forged wheels, a track-tuned chassis, and for the first time with the M3, the ability to option all-wheel drive. The twin-turbo 3.0L straight-six has been tuned up from 473 hp in the standard M3 to produce 503 hp and 479 lb-ft, put to the ground through an eight-speed automatic transmission. It\u2019s all finished in Signal Green, and Bashar notes that this is currently one of only two M3 Competitions in the US with this color!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img
