BMW M3 Competition 2011 (E90 LCI)

Description

This 2011 BMW M3 sedan was initially delivered to Irvine BMW of Irvine, California, and was optioned with the Competition, Convenience, and Premium 2 packages. Indicating 25k miles, the car is powered by a 4.0-liter V8 paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and is finished in Melbourne Red Metallic over Fox Red and Black Novillo leather upholstery. Equipment includes 19″ Style 359 wheels, H&R lowering springs, a limited-slip differential, xenon headlights, rear Park Distance Control, navigation, dual-zone automatic climate control, and cruise control. Purchased by the current owner in 2017, this E90 M3 is offered by the seller on behalf of the current owner with a window sticker, manufacturer’s literature, service records, spare parts, and a clean Illinois title in the owner’s name. The car is finished in Melbourne Red Metallic (A75) and features Shadowline trim and adaptive xenon headlights as well as rain-sensing wipers, power-folding side mirrors, a trunk lid spoiler, rear Park Distance Control, and quadruple exhaust outlets. A carbon-fiber decklid spoiler will accompany the sale, and there are scrapes on the underside of the front bumper cover. Close-up photographs of the exterior finish and trim are shown in the gallery below. Silver 19″ Style 359 wheels are mounted with Continental ContiSportContact 3 tires that have 2010 date codes. Competition Package equipment includes a lowered ride height compared to the standard M3 as well as retuned Electronic Damping Control (EDC) and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC). H&R lowering springs are fitted, and braking is handled by four-wheel vented and cross-drilled discs measuring 14.2″ and 13.8″ front and rear, respectively. The brake fluid was changed in 2024, and the removed factory springs will accompany the sale. The power-adjustable front sport seats and fold-down rear seats are upholstered in Fox Red and Black Novillo leather, and Carbon Structure Leather trim accents the dashboard and doors. Amenities include iDrive with navigation, Comfort Access keyless entry, BMW Assist, a CD stereo, dual-zone automatic climate control, and cruise control. Creasing on the driver’s seat and a faded air vent dial are noted by the seller. The multi-function leather-wrapped steering wheel features paddle shifters along with tri-color stitching and frames an M-branded tachometer, a 200-mph speedometer, a central information display, and gauges for oil temperature and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 25k miles, approximately 2,500 of which were added under current ownership. The 4.0-liter S65 V8 features double-VANOS variable valve timing and was factory-rated at 414 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. The oil was changed and an evaporation line was replaced in 2024. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a seven-speed M-DCT dual-clutch transmission and a Variable M Differential Lock. The seller notes wear on the lift points and corrosion on the exhaust. The window sticker lists initial delivery to Irvine BMW of Irvine, California, as well as factory colors, options, and a total price of $72,100. The Carfax report is free of accidents or other reported damage. The Illinois title is listed as a “corrected title.”
