2008 BMW M3 Coupe Six-Speed

Description

In 2008, BMW’s fourth-generation M3 arrived screaming: beneath the bulging hood lay an all-new V8 that made 414 horsepower at 8300 rpm. Not only was that 81 more than the previous M3’s six cylinder, but the V8 also weighed 33 pounds less. Power flowed through either a 6-speed manual, or a 7-speed double clutch gearbox. An all-new aluminum chassis retained a 50/50 weight balance. Braking was powerful and consistent with massive, vented and cross-drilled rotors. And a host of electronic safety and handling aids helped keep the M3 on the edge of adhesion.

The E92 M3’s design was just as aggressive as its performance, with wide fenders, stylish wheels, and quad exhaust tips. And the interior handled both comfort and performance driving with ease. Black leather seats, dashboard, and steering wheel framed M-style circular gauges. And a premium audio system came standard, if you wanted to listen to something besides an 8300-rpm siren song.

This example not only wears sought-after options, it also has had professional preventative engine work done to ensure that it remains a reliable and high-powered V8 M car.
