FS: 2008 M3 Coupe - 35k miles, 6spd
I own the car outright with title in hand. The car is in excellent shape (has never been raced or tracked, its spent almost all of its living fulfilling ‘sunday driver’ duties) and needs absolutely nothing other than a loving new owner. Car will be driven sparingly until sale. I absolutely adore this car, but I have the itch to try something new. Unfortunately, that means parting with this gem. 2008 M3 Coupe 6-Speed Manual 3 Owner Car 35,000 miles Exterior: Silverstone Metallic Interior: Silver Novillo Leather CF Roof VIN – WBSWD93578PY40721 Clean title, pristine Carfax Location: Charlotte, NC Willing to ship, but costs on the buyer. If you are interested, please send me a PM with a list of any questions you have. Car History •First owner purchased the car in Utah in 2008. •Car lived in Utah for 7 years. First owner put about 19k miles on it. •Second owner bought the car in South Carolina in 2015. •Car lived in SC for 5 years. Second owner put about 11k miles on the car. Traded it in for another BMW. •Third owner (me) purchased the car from BMW of Columbia in South Carolina in early 2020. It has been in Charlotte ever since. I have put about 4k on the car since. Car Details This is a well optioned car. The original window sticker is attached as an image, but a brief summary is below: Technology Package (M drive, Electronic Damping, Navigation) Premium Package Cold Weather Package Car Condition Interior - 10/10 - Silver Novillo Leather Interior is in pristine condition. Still smells great. Exterior - 9.5/10 - The paint is in excellent shape and has recently been fully paint corrected and detailed. Beyond a handful of small paint chips on the front end, the only imperfection is on the RHS of the lower front bumper (visible in the head on shot below). With how low these cars sit, seems like it's inevitable for that to happen. Mods Car was bone stock when I purchased it. I’ve added a handful of tasteful mods that ultimately represent how I think the car should have come from the factory. AutoSolutions Shifter – Many find the stock shifter to not match the character of the rest of the car, it lacks feel. After talking with Ronald from AutoSolutions, he recommended a 25% reduction in throw length, 95a bushings (stiffest) at the stock height. Night and day difference between stock. Adds a little bit of NVH at low speeds, but honestly even pointing it out is nitpicking. Relevant thread: https://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1349745 ACM Exhaust Mod – Done by EuroWise in Charlotte. Absolutely amazing & mature sound with no drone. Visually, the system looks entirely stock. Not my car, but this is the best video of the sound. Relevant threads: https://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=712807 https://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=646891 Swift Spec R Springs – (Front -1.0" drop, 279lbs/in; Rear -0.7" drop, 670lbs/in). Car rides like stock and has been aligned back to the stock specs. Handles like a dream. Stock springs will be provided. Relevant threads: https://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=790330 Aftermarket Clutch Stop – Removes a lot of the excessive dead zone. Relevant thread: https://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=423171 Black Grill – Much needed aesthetic improvement over the silver grill. I will provide the OEM grill along with the car. BMC Performance Air Filter – Recommended numerous times on this forum. Adds a little more induction sound past 4-5k. Stock filter will be provided. Maintenance - New spark plugs at 34k. Didn’t notice any slow down with the old plugs, but I swapped them out just in case. Since the car uses Ionic Knock Detection via the spark plugs, better safe than sorry imo. - Oil changed right at 35k. The car has given me absolutely zero grief and behaves well.

Thanks for the kind words everyone
 As the weather gets increasingly nicer, I'm resisting the temptation to let the v8 sing, but I don't know how much longer I can hold out! This is peak M3 season. Here's another picture for anyone still on the fence about needing an N/A V8 that revs to 8k+ (mated to a manual) in your life. |
