Expert Quotes:
Not tested.
IIHS
Not tested.
NHTSA
Braking is phenomenal -- in our 60-0-mph braking test, the M3 came to a halt in just 100 feet, which is among the shortest distances we've ever recorded.
Edmunds
The 2012 M3 also includes standard dual front, side, and side-curtain airbags; anti-lock brakes; and stability and traction control. Optional upgrades include a rearview camera and adaptive cruise control. Visibility in both models is very good, though the convertibles suffer slightly with rearward visibility with the top up.
Conclusion
Though it hasn't been crash-tested, the 2012 BMW M3 shares its engineering with the normal 3-Series, and offers its own array of standard safety equipment.
