BMW M3 Competition 2018 (F80 LCI)

Description

This 2018 BMW M3 is an Alpine White-finished sedan that was collected new via the European Tourist delivery program and then remained registered to its original owner in Nevada until the seller’s purchase in 2025. It was optioned from the factory with a six-speed manual transmission, the Competition Package, and heated front seats, which are trimmed in Anthracite Carbon Structure cloth and black leather. Powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter S55 inline-six, the car is further equipped with an Active M differential, 20″ Style 666M alloy wheels, Icon Adaptive LED headlights, carbon-fiber interior trim, a Harman Kardon sound system, Comfort Access keyless entry, and navigation. Service performed between 2023 and 2024 included replacing the fuel pump assembly, valve cover and gaskets, Valvetronic motor gasket, crankcase vent hose, spark plugs, drive belts, and more as detailed below. This F80 M3 has 116k miles and is now offered with a window sticker, 2017 German registration documentation, manufacturer’s literature, service records, a Carfax report, and a California title. The F80 M3 featured widened bodywork along with revised fender vents and bumpers compared to the standard 3-series, while the Competition Package adds gloss-black kidney grilles, side gills, and rear model badging. This example is finished in Alpine White with Shadowline trim and has Icon Adaptive LED headlights, LED taillights, parking sensors, a backup camera, and a sport exhaust system with quad exhaust tips. Damage to the rear is listed in a September 2019 entry of the Carfax report, and the seller states that the front end, headlights, and portions of the rear quarter panels have been covered in paint protection film. The 20″ Style 666M alloy wheels are mounted with 265/30 Michelin Pilot Super Sport front and 285/30 Yokohama Advan Apex rear tires with 2022, 2023, and 2024 date codes. The Competition package included a quicker steering ratio, stiffer springs and anti-roll bars, and revised settings for the Adaptive M Suspension system and stability control. Braking is handled by blue-finished M-branded calipers fitted over cross-drilled and ventilated rotors at all four corners. The brake fluid was flushed in June 2023 and the front brake pads were replaced in October 2024. The right-rear wheel has curb rash. The cabin features seating surfaces upholstered in Anthracite Carbon Structure cloth and black leather along with carbon-fiber trim on the dashboard and center console. Additional appointments include heated power-adjustable front seats, Comfort Access keyless entry, a Harman Kardon sound system, Comfort Access keyless entry, dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, and iDrive infotainment with navigation. The leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel frames a 200-mph speedometer, an 8,500-rpm tachometer, and gauges for oil temperature and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 116k miles, approximately 4k of which were added under current ownership. The twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter S55 inline-six was factory rated at 444 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque in Competition specification. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission and an electronically controlled Active M differential. All six spark plugs were replaced in 2023 along with the drive belts, tensioners, and pulleys. The transmission fluid, differential gear oil, cabin air filter, and engine air filters were also changed. Service in 2024 involved installing a replacement URO valve cover and gasket set, Valvetronic motor gasket, crankcase vent hose, fuel pump assembly, fuel hose, and a Powerflex polyurethane rear differential mount bushing. The oil was most recently changed in May 2025. The car passed an emissions inspection in January 2025. The window sticker indicates that the car was collected via European Tourist delivery and was subsequently delivered to BMW of Riverside, California. It lists factory colors, equipment, and a total suggested retail price of $68,720. German registration documents dated from 2017 are displayed in the gallery below. The Carfax report shows the aforementioned damage.
