Here are the competitors to the M3 as I see it:
W205 Mercedes C63 AMG
Cadillac ATS-V
Jaguar XE-R
None of these are available yet. I listed them in the order I expect to see them hit the market, starting with the C63 early next year sometime. Not sure when the other two will hit. The ATS-V has already missed a number of predicted auto show debuts.
Here are some potential competitors to the M3, if they get built:
Infiniti Q50 R "Eau Rouge"
B9 Audi RS4 sedan
New Lexus IS-F
Of those I think the Infiniti is the most likely to be built and give the M3 a heck of a fight. The only problem is pricing - under 80k is a big ask for the power train borrowed from a six figure car.
