2011 BMW (E92) M3 - MANUAL

This BMW M3 is a smart example of the lauded performance car, with some subtle cosmetic upgrades and solid service history. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 4.0-litre V8 producing 414bhp, coupled with the desirable six-speed manual transmission. The odometer currently indicates 62,214 miles from new.

First registered in November 2011, this M3 has three previous keepers on the log book. It has been in the possession of its current owner for the last year.

The bodywork of this M3 appears to be in very good order, with no evidence of any prior damage. Its paint presents with a glossy shine throughout, though does have some minor blemishes and stone chips around the front end, as shown in the gallery. The appearance has been subtly changed by a front splitter, side splitters, black badging, and black and white BMW roundels. It features a carbon-fibre roof, which is in very good order. The car rides on the original 19-inch alloy wheels, which have been refinished in satin black.

Moving inside, the seats are trimmed with black leather upholstery, which presents with some age-related creasing and wrinkles, but remains in excellent order overall. The three-spoke M steering wheel, manual gear knob and handbrake grip have modest wear commensurate with the age and mileage. The car comes equipped with satellite navigation, climate control, cruise control, and rear parking sensors, and there are no electrical faults or warning lights on the dashboard.

The last service was undertaken in December 2018 at 51,535 miles, where technicians at Cooper BMW Banstead changed the engine oil, filter and microfilter. Prior to this, in November 2015 at 35,720 miles, Stephen James BMW in Enfield changed the engine oil, filter and brake fluid. A summary of the service history is included below.

The most recent MOT test was on 11 November 2020 at 62,098 miles, which resulted in a clean pass with no advisories or defects. The wheels are wrapped with Toyo Proxes Sport tyres on all four corners.

Accompanying the vehicle is a replacement service book, two keys and two Cooper BMW service invoices. The full MOT history is available online, showing that the car has never failed a test, and furthermore that it has only ever had one advisory, which was for wear to the rear brake pads in 2015.

This BMW M3 is superb performance car, which combines a deeply impressive engine with everyday practicality and comfort. An ideal formula for a fast daily driver, this M3 also benefits from a BMW main dealer service history. It is a great opportunity to experience one of the most dynamic models ever to wear the badge, and the only one to be fitted with a V8 engine, which is sure to put a big smile on its next owner’s face.
