BMW M3 Competition 2012 (E92 LCI)

Description

This 2012 BMW M3 coupe was purchased new by the current owner at Orange County BMW of Harrison, New York, and now has 41k miles. It is powered by a 4.0-liter V8 paired with a six-speed manual transmission and is finished in Jerez Black Metallic over black Novillo leather upholstery. Equipment includes Premium and Competition packages as well as 19″ Style 359 wheels, a limited-slip differential, adaptive xenon headlights, rear parking sensors, a sunroof, carbon-fiber mirror caps and front grille surrounds, heated power-adjustable front seats, iDrive infotainment, navigation, dual-zone automatic climate control, and cruise control. Work since 2022 reportedly consisted of changing the oil in addition to replacing the water temperature sensor, thermostat, right-side throttle valve actuator, battery, and tires. This E92 M3 is now offered by the seller on behalf of the owner with a window sticker, factory literature, two keys, a clean Carfax report, and a clean New York title in the current owner’s name. The car is finished in Jerez Black Metallic and features Shadowline trim and adaptive xenon headlights as well as rain-sensing wipers, a glass sunroof, a trunk lid spoiler, rear parking sensors, carbon-fiber mirror caps and front grille surrounds, and quadruple exhaust outlets. Paint chips and blemishes are shown up close in the gallery below, and the headlights were reportedly replaced in 2014. The seller notes the left rocker panel has been repaired. Black-finished 19″ Style 359 wheels are mounted with 255/35 front and 275/35 rear Michelin Pilot Sport All Season tires showing 2022 and 2023 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). Braking is handled by four-wheel vented and cross-drilled discs measuring 14.2″ and 13.8″ front and rear, respectively. A replacement Electronic Damping Control unit was reportedly fitted in 2018. A chip is located on the right-rear wheel. The heated power-adjustable front sport seats are upholstered in black 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, a Harman Kardon sound system, a power rear sunshade, driver-seat position memory settings, dual-zone automatic climate control, and cruise control. The seller notes that the Comfort Access feature does not work on the passenger door. The multi-function leather-wrapped steering wheel features 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 41k miles, all 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. Service since 2022 is said to have consisted of changing the oil as well as replacing the water temperature sensor, thermostat, right-side throttle valve actuator, and battery. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission and a Variable M Differential Lock. Additional photos of the underside are presented in the gallery below. The window sticker lists initial delivery to Orange County BMW of Harrison, New York, along with factory colors, equipment, options, and a total suggested retail price of $72,975. The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists history in New York.
