BMW M3 Competition 2012 (E92 LCI)

Description

This 2012 BMW M3 coupe is powered by a 4.0-liter V8 paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and is finished in Space Gray Metallic over Fox Red Novillo leather upholstery. Equipment includes the Cold Weather, Premium, Technology, and Competition packages as well as 18″ APEX wheels, BE rod bearings, ARP rod bolts, a limited-slip differential, adaptive xenon headlights, rear parking sensors, an M Performance exhaust with Evolve test pipes, a carbon-fiber intake, a Dinan strut brace, H&R wheel spacers, Evolve engine and transmission tuning, a carbon-fiber rear spoiler and mirror caps, heated power-adjustable front seats, iDrive infotainment, navigation, dual-zone automatic climate control, and cruise control. The seller acquired the car in 2022 and has since added approximately 1,500 of the 61k miles. The rod bearings and bolts were replaced in July 2020, and service in 2022 reportedly consisted of replacing the valve covers, spark plugs, fuel injectors, brake pads, and brake rotors. This E92 M3 is now offered with factory literature, two keys, a Carfax report, and a clean Illinois title in the seller’s name. The car is finished in Space Gray Metallic and features black kidney grilles, IND front reflectors, window tint, and a carbon-fiber rear spoiler and mirror caps. Additional details include Shadowline trim and adaptive xenon headlights as well as rain-sensing wipers, a carbon-fiber roof panel, rear parking sensors, a backup camera, and quadruple exhaust outlets. Damage is listed in an August 2020 entry of the Carfax report, and the oxygen sensor, lower transmission cover, and transmission oil pan were replaced as a result. Rock chips and other blemishes are present on the front end and bumper cover, and a scuff is visible on the right-front fender. The 18″ APEX wheels wear 245/40 front and 265/40 rear Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires showing 2018 and 2019 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). A Dinan strut brace has been fitted, and braking is handled by four-wheel vented and cross-drilled discs. The brake pads and rotors were reportedly replaced in 2022. The heated power-adjustable front sport seats are upholstered in Fox Red Novillo leather, and Carbon Structure Leather trim accents the dashboard and doors. M3-branded floor mats line the footwells, and amenities include iDrive with navigation, Comfort Access keyless entry, a CD stereo, a power rear sunshade, dual-zone automatic climate control, Apple CarPlay, and cruise control. Wear is located on the driver’s seat bolstering, and scratches are visible on the left door panel. The multi-function leather-wrapped steering wheel features paddle shifters in addition to 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 61k miles, approximately 1,500 of which were added under current ownership. The 4.0-liter S65 V8 features double-VANOS variable valve timing and has been modified with red-finished valve covers, Evolve test pipes, a Dinan carbon-fiber intake elbow, a Dinan carbon-fiber strut brace, and Evolve engine-management software. BE rod bearings and ARP rod bolts were fitted in July 2020, and service in 2022 reportedly consisted of replacing the valve covers, spark plugs, and fuel injectors. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a seven-speed M-DCT dual-clutch transmission and a Variable M Differential Lock. The car is equipped with an M Performance exhaust in addition to an Evolve transmission tune. The Carfax report shows the aforementioned August 2020 damage and lists history in Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia, and Illinois through the most recent entry in December 2022.
