I'm looking at an '08 sedan and from the VIN sheet, it looks like the only option is extended Napa leather. It has power seats, but nowhere on the '08 M3 brochure says that power seats are an option. Things the car doesn't have: iDrive, sunroof, EDC, fold down rear seats, power folding mirrors, heated seats, bluetooth. Is this as basic an '08 can get?
That's pretty stripped out - major other option you didn't list would be DCT vs base 6MT.

Gotcha, it's a 6MT also. Guess I'll check it out when I have some time. Hoping a "high" mileage '08 with no options is scaring people from buying, so I have time to sell my 128i.

Thanks, glad you like it! It's not a Lime Rock ed, but does have Competition Pkg. It was one of the very last E92s to roll off the line in March of 2013.

Sweet car without a doubt but what lurks on the other side of the green E46?

Oh I see what you mean, there is a Lime Rock car there. This was for the pre-Bimmerfest 2017 KTLA Channel 5 Live Broadcast that I organized. I prolly have some more pics of the orange M3 somewhere.

Love the car.
How much sun did it see? Outside all the time or just at work during the day?

I recall that there was a way to see build numbers broken down by options.

I have a 2011 ZCP Alpine White/extended fox red. Weird thing is that it has a sunroof. Someone told me it was 1 of 1 in NA with those options. I guess the ZCPs almost always have the CF roof.

Idk if I believe that but I would like to look into it.

Actually, sunroof was always an option. If you did not order a sunroof, you got CF. Most ordered without a sunroof so that they would get a CF roof. There was no way to get got a sunroof and CF.

My M3 was also the start of the Borla exhaust promo video. Check it out (I make a brief cameo):

Nice car but March? My old (recently sold) Santorini blue m3 was a July 2013 build date, truly one of the last e92 m3s off the production line! I hope the new owner is enjoying it as much as I did...

Unicorn. As I’ve said for years, PM when you’re ready to sell.

Everybody else calling their car a unicorn for having an obscure and long, specific color and option combo is getting a little tiring.
