Lot details

Chassis No: LD335470
MOT: July 2026

  • Warranted low mileage of just 49,000 miles from new
  • Desirable manual gearbox example and important EDC button!
  • Supplied with the stamped service book showing strong service history
  • Most recently serviced at 48,913 miles last year by a German car specialist
  • The last naturally-aspirated M3, the last V8-powered M3 and the last M3 built in Coupé form, the E92 is undoubtedly a collectable modern classic

The fourth-generation BMW M3 was announced on the 2007 Geneva Motor Show. It was originally set to be called the M4, along with the 3 Series coupés and convertibles that were to become the 4 Series but, due to the interest in retaining the M3 line as well as the plan for a separate 4 Series line, this change was scrapped. Like the previous M3 generations that introduced a new engine, the fourth-generation M3 did the same: the BMW S65 V8 engine producing 414bhp. The E92 M3 Coupé inherited a carbon-fibre roof similar to the one used on the E46 CSL. For 2011, the E92 M3 received a model refresh, changes included minor interior trim pieces and L.E.D. rear taillights. The new M3 is again available as a four-door saloon, based on the E90 3 Series Saloon, but unlike the regular saloons, the M3 version shares the Coupé's wide and sculpted front end, including headlights. Although the front-end design of the Saloon matches the specific look and high-performance character of the Coupé, the side-sills and rear diffuser are tailored for the Saloon. The last naturally-aspirated M3, the last V8-powered M3 and the last M3 built in Coupé form, the E92 is undoubtedly a collectable modern-classic

If we’d just bought a new BMW M3 with a manual gearbox and EDC (Electronic Damper Control) button, we confess we’d be tempted to drive it rather fast and hard, but the owners of this example have all shown commendable restraint. As a result, it presents now as a really well-preserved, low-mileage example little-changed from the day it left the showroom, having just covered just 49,000 miles from new, and with the present owner caring for it since 2019. The service history is really exemplary. The car was supplied new through John Clark BMW of Aberdeen, which performed the P.D.I. and the first four services, in 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2015, which took it up to 36,717 miles. The next service at 43,300 miles in 2018 was performed by a local garage, and the following three services, between 2019 and 2021, were performed by BMW specialists. The most recent two services were performed in 2023 and 2025 by German car specialist Autobahn, and included a change of brake fluid (in 2023) and differential oil (in 2025).

We cannot emphasise enough what a joy this should be to own and drive. The interior and exterior exhibit minimal signs of age, and the sober and restrained appearance really makes it a bit of a Q-car, especially with the options of the manual gearbox and the EDC, which gives the driver a choice of suspension settings for ‘Comfort’, ‘Normal’ and ‘Sport’ driving. As those who’ve sampled the Sport setting know, there are very few saloons which can live up to the experience of an M3 on a winding A-road. Naturally, this well cared-for example is complete with its book pack, including the owner’s handbook and stamped service book, plus an M.O.T. to July, assorted invoices, past M.O.T.s, and the V5C.
