BMW E92 M3
The M3 changed modern motoring by offering a fully tuned version of your mother's 3 Series for the masses. It competed initially with Lancia Integrale and Audi Ur Quattro but soon was copied with the Merc CLK and others
The original E30 was left-hand drive only, the subsequent E36 remained a straight six but we feel that it is surpassed by the Audi S2 of the time is a far more unique proposition.
The E46 that followed is probably now the most sought after, especially in the S54 engined CSL form, maybe now $150,000plus but those who know us know we would be a Z4M buyer all day over those.
Then the E92 was launched and it is notable for several very important reasons that in our minds virtually underwrite future collectability of this version - buy now as prices have bottomed or forever chase the market like a Boomer trying to buy his first 996.
- The only V8 M3 ever produced
- The last naturally aspirated M3
- Last 3 door M3
This Example
This is a clean honest Australian delivered original example with extensive service records to provide the perfect version to own and collect - unmolested, no tunes, no wheels only one or two upgrades including more up to date BMW OEM infomat system (much better Bluetooth and music storage etc) and it does have a very noisy Borla exhaust but original exhaust will be available (not recommended).
The car has had the 2 most common areas of concern addressed being throttle body gears and main bearing. The other most common E92 issue is weeping from rocker covers - this has been resealed with new OEM gaskets but in reality, will need new rocker covers at some stage.
Otherwise, this is the one you have been looking for, right colour, right low mileage and only 2 real owners, driving amazing, Michelin pilot sport tyres.
We understand wholesale on the E92 is moving up at the moment and is above $50,000 so this car represents a great opportunity with a sensible reserve
