BMW M3 2008 (E93)

Description

This 2008 BMW M3 convertible is finished in Melbourne Red Metallic over beige leather and is powered by a 4.0-liter V8 paired with a six-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes heated and power-adjustable front seats, iDrive with navigation, adaptive xenon headlights, automatic climate control, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and Electronic Damper Control. The car spent time in North Carolina and Kentucky prior its acquisition in 2014 by the seller, who has since added 60k of the 99k miles it now has. Recent service included a brake fluid flush and an oil change, and the clutch components were replaced in 2019. This E93 M3 convertible is now offered with service records, Blackstone Laboratories oil analysis reports, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Alabama title in the seller’s name. The exterior is finished in Melbourne Red Metallic (A75) with a retractable hardtop. Additional features include adaptive xenon headlights and rain-sensing wipers, and a ceramic coating was applied in preparation for the sale. The seller reports that the top sticks on the left side when being raised, and notes that the clearcoat is lifting near the headlights as well as the presence of rock chips on the hood and front bumper. The rear bumper cover was repainted following a driveway incident, though the accompanying Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage. Factory 18” double-spoke wheels wear Bridgestone Potenza S0-4 tires measuring 245/40 in the front and 265/40 at the rear. The E9x-series M3 utilizes cross-drilled and ventilated disc brakes all around, and service during current ownership included a brake fluid flush and replacement of the brake rotors, pads, and sensors. The car is also equipped with Electronic Damper Control (EDC). The interior features Bamboo Beige Novillo leather (NCH3) on the seating surfaces and door panels, as well as a contrasting black dashboard accented by aluminum trim. Amenities include heated and power-adjustable front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, iDrive with navigation, and a CD stereo. A leather-wrapped M Sport steering wheel frames a 200-mph speedometer and 9k-rpm tachometer. The digital odometer shows just under 99k miles, approximately 60k of which were added during current ownership. Peeling of the steering wheel and door pull trim is visible. The 4.0-liter S65 V8 produced 414 horsepower at 8,300 rpm and 295 lb-ft of torque at 3,900 rpm and is paired with a six-speed manual gearbox. The seller reports that the clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel were replaced in 2019, the engine and transmission mounts were replaced in 2017, and the left and right-side throttle actuators were replaced in 2014 and 2017, respectively. An oil change was performed in April 2020, and Blackstone Laboratories oil analysis reports are provided in the gallery below. The lower engine splash shield was removed by the seller due to damage, and the mounting cables are included. Additional underside photos can be viewed in the gallery. The May 2020 Carfax report lists no accidents or other damage and shows registration history in North Carolina, Kentucky, and Alabama. A cold-start video is provided below.
