2018 BMW M3 COMPETITION

This 2018 BMW M3 Competition is an excellent example of a supreme all-rounder, combining sports car pace with enough rear space for the school run. It is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre straight-six engine, producing 444bhp, coupled with a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox with paddle shift. The odometer currently indicates 17,500 miles from new.

First registered in April 2018, this vehicle has been in single ownership from new, and was specified with a number of desirable factory options.

In addition to the power increase and chassis revisions, the M3 Competition also has several visual upgrades over the standard M3, such as a black grille, window surround, mirror caps, side grille and exhaust tips. This example is finished in Mineral Grey, which the vendor notes presents with some very light ‘pebble dash’ on both rear wheel arches above the protective cover, but otherwise the finish remains in excellent condition. The car rides on 20-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels, which are in superb order on all four corners.

Moving inside, the M3 Competition features lightweight sport seats upholstered in Sakhir Orange leather, which present superbly. This example is fitted with an Alcantara and carbon-trimmed multi-function steering wheel, carbon-fibre interior trim with black chrome finish, and a Harmon Kardon speaker system. Meanwhile, optional driver aids include a rear-view camera and BMW’s Surround View system, a BMW M head-up display and speed limit warning. The vendor has reported everything works as it should, with no electrical issues and no warning lights present on the dashboard.

The vehicle’s first service was undertaken in March 2020 at Dick Lovett BMW, where technicians changed the engine oil and filter. The vendor notes no other maintenance or repairs have been necessary during their ownership.

Being only two years old, this vehicle has not yet required an MOT, with the first test due by 29 April 2021. The wheels are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres all round, in fitment 265/30/ZR20 at the front and 285/30/ZR20 at the rear, with the vendor reporting approximately 4mm of tread remaining.

Accompanying the vehicle are all of the original handbooks and service book, in their factory M-embossed wallet.

This BMW M3 Competition is a powerful and involving sports saloon, with handling described by its owner as sublime. The tweaks made by the Competition specification to the car were lauded by the media, with Evo magazine saying that the F80 M3’s potential was “finally realised”. This particular example boasts a number of desirable options, and would make a thrilling car to use for weekend jaunts or even track use. It could, of course, easily be put into service as an exciting daily driver, with sufficient practicality for family use.
