LCI (2010 to 2013)

The BMW M3 E92 LCI refers to the facelifted coupe produced from 2010 to 2013, representing the most refined version of the V8-powered E92 before the M3 transitioned to turbocharging. While retaining the same 4.0-litre naturally aspirated S65 V8 producing 414 hp, the LCI update introduced revised LED taillights, updated iDrive and interior trim, and subtle build-quality improvements that benefited late-production cars. Available with either a 6-speed manual or 7-speed DCT, the E92 LCI is often favoured for combining the full V8 experience with end-of-cycle polish. Estimated production for E92 M3 LCI coupes sits at approximately 15,000–18,000 units worldwide, a subset of total E92 output. In the Australian market, E92 M3 LCI cars are particularly desirable due to official local delivery, improved infotainment over pre-LCI models, and the appeal of being among the last naturally aspirated M cars, with values driven by manual transmission preference, Competition Package (ZCP), mileage, originality, and service history.
