Doug’s Take
The E92 BMW M3 is a thrilling coupe with a rev-happy, naturally-aspirated V8, excellent handling, and handsome styling – all characteristics that are further emphasized when equipped with a 6-speed manual and the Competition Package, like this one has. This particular M3 is also a final-year model that’s finished in eye-catching Melbourne Red Metallic, and it features some great equipment like adaptive xenon headlights, a carbon fiber roof panel, and cool Speed cloth upholstery. It also touts a few desirable modifications like a Dinan exhaust system and black kidney grilles. Plus, this M3 has low mileage and boasts ownership primarily in warm-climate Florida, further enhancing its appeal.
Highlights
THIS… is a 2013 BMW M3 Coupe Competition Package, finished in Melbourne Red Metallic with a black and Anthracite interior.
- This M3 features the desirable 6-speed manual transmission, and the odometer currently displays about 31,400 miles.
- The attached Carfax history report shows no mileage discrepancies in this M3’s past. It also shows ownership in Florida since 2016.
- According to the build sheet provided in the gallery, factory equipment includes the Competition Package, adaptive xenon headlights, a carbon fiber roof panel, Speed cloth and leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats, a navigation system, a HiFi sound system, cruise control, and more as detailed below.
- Modifications reported by the seller are limited to a Dinan exhaust system, black kidney grilles, an aftermarket rear spoiler, and tinted windows.
- BMW engineers had to balance horsepower and weight as they developed the first and only M3 equipped with a V8 engine. Released for 2008, and based on the E90-generation 3 Series, it won over skeptical enthusiasts by offering performance that approached supercar levels in a practical, daily-drivable, and relatively subtle package. Sedan, coupe, and convertible variants were offered. The Competition Package also includes a sport exhaust system and a unique rear spoiler, which add to the car’s already impressive performance and aerodynamics.
- Power comes from a 4.0-liter V8, rated at 414 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission.
