2013 BMW M3

BMW E92 M3 V8 Competition Pack – low miles, very high spec

The V8 (or E9X) model M3 had a tough act to follow, coming directly after the glorious E46. But right from the first drive, it was obvious that BMW had done it again – only arguably better. The F1 derived S65 V8 engine (a close relative or derivative of the V10 S85) was deservedly award winning, but it is also an utter joy to drive. Revving all the way round past 8000rpm, the howl just gets louder and more blood-curdling, but keeps producing results all the way to the red line, making the M3 one of the most exciting cars to drive, of its time. The chassis is sublime, the steering – one of the last hydraulic servotronic systems – is brilliant, and the all-round driving experience is utterly unforgettable. The E92 M3 is also reliable, cost effective to run – especially given its performance – and at home on the motorway or racetrack (and anywhere in between). The V8 M3 is without doubt one of our favourite M cars, and most owners would agree. This is high-revving, old school M-Power at its very best.

But BMW’s M division, perhaps realising that this would go down in history as the last ‘classic’ M3 – naturally aspirated rather than turbo-charged – had one final surprise up their sleeves – the Competition Package. Only 1570 were made in RHD, which of course makes them the most desirable models. Lowered suspension, enhanced braking, CSL-style alloys – reducing unsprung weight – and EDC with enhanced software as standard all made the ‘greatest all-round M car’* just that little bit better (*Dan’s opinion).

With Ruby black individual paint and Platinum individual interior, this car was special enough when it left the factory, with a good spec. However, the previous owner decided to go all in, and retro fitted pretty well every BMW OEM option, as well as an audio upgrade from Mr12volt and Ghost alarm. It is worth listing the additional spec below, and the factory spec sheet is in the listing photos.

This particular V8 M3 CP is, of course, enthusiast owned – one of our most respected customers with huge experience of collecting and caring for M cars. Beautifully looked after throughout its life (recent rod bearing upgrade to Mahle Motorsport bearings and subframe corrosion protection included) and covering a mere 19,132 miles and with immaculate main dealer service history, this M3 passed our technician’s rigorous inspection with flying colours. There are surprisingly few V8 Comp Packs on the market with this low mileage at sensible money. Our client is reluctantly having to downsize his collection due to space constraints.
