A very good example of the marque’s lauded performance coupe, presented in a timeless colour scheme and with the sought-after carbonfibre roof. Under the bonnet is the 414bhp S65 4.0-litre V8, driving the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. First registered in April 2008, this E92 M3 has been with the current owner for past 10 years and benefits from a comprehensive maintenance and servicing regime. This E92-generation M3 was specified in Silverstone II paintwork over Black ‘Novillo’ leather upholstery. The BMW is very well appointed with factory equipment including heated and electrically adjustable front seats, park distance control, keyless start, cruise control, and the BMW Professional media system. The renowned driving experience of the M3 is enhanced with the engaging six-speed manual gearbox, Electronic Damper Control (EDC), Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), and factory stainless steel bi-modal exhaust system. The car is fitted with the M Double Spoke 220 19-inch alloy wheels. The vehicle is supplied with its BMW leather pouch containing all the original owner’s manuals, stamped service book, warranty book and receipts for servicing work performed since 2012. There is no known body damage. The Silverstone II Silver paintwork remains in very good condition, with the bonnet, guards and front bumper benefitting from a recent respray. The carbon-fibre roof was also re-lacquered at the time to correct some small stone chips. There is a minor pinhole dint on the left rear wheel arch and some very small marks on the rear bumper. Inside, the interior presents very well, with the driver’s seat bolstering having been recently refurbished. The steering wheel buttons, driver’s switch panel and gear knob all have some minor wear, commensurate with the age of the vehicle. All of the instruments, controls and buttons work as they should. There are no known mechanical or electrical faults. The most recent service was performed in June 2021 at Anthony Costello Automotive with the odometer reading 192,280km. A major service was carried out with the engine oil and filter replaced, the power steering fluid replaced, a new cabin filter fitted, differential fluid replaced, a new ignition coil fitted, rear badge replaced and the leather seat bolstering repaired. Prior to this a new battery was fitted in November 2020, and a service was performed in February 2020 with the odometer reading 184,771km. The latter included renewal of the engine oil and filter, a new air filter, and power steering fluid replacement. In addition, both banks of throttle body actuators have been replaced, a new tail shaft and rear brakes were fitted in 2017, and new front brakes fitted in 2014. This BMW M3 is a very good example of the renowned E92-generation performance coupe, equipped from the factory with a host of desirable features and presented with a comprehensive maintenance history. This example also benefits from a recent partial respray. Offering exciting performance, but eminently practical when required, it would make an excellent daily driver or weekend toy for any enthusiast.
