Description

This 2008 BMW M3 convertible is finished in Alpine White over Fox Red leather and is powered by a 4.0-liter V8 paired with a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential.

The car was first delivered to Nalley BMW in Decatur, Georgia, and spent time in North Carolina before relocating to California where it was acquired by the seller in 2017. The rod bearings were replaced in 2019, and work in 2020 is said to have included installation of replacement coil packs and spark plugs along with modified throttle actuators.

The body is finished in Alpine White (300) and features a retractable hardtop, adaptive xenon headlights, power-folding side mirrors, and quad exhaust outlets. The Carfax report notes “minor damage” to the front end in 2015 with no further details provided. The seller reports that aftermarket LED angel eye bulbs are installed and paint correction was performed in preparation for the sale. Photos of paint-depth readings are provided in the gallery below. Forged 19″ Style 220 M Double Spoke wheels are mounted with Hankook Ventus V12 tires measuring 245/35 up front and 265/35 out back. The seller states that the brake rotors and pads were replaced in May 2020 and that a brake fluid flush was performed in April 2021.
