Hello everyone, here is a chance to own one of the very limited production "Edition" M cars.

This 2012 BMW M3 coupe is one of 40 Frozen Silver Edition examples produced for the North American market. The car is finished in matte Frozen Silver Metallic over black Novillo leather and is powered by a 4.0-liter V8. Additional equipment includes satin black competition 19″ wheels, Dynamic Damper Control, a carbon-fiber roof panel, full carbon fiber trim, Park Distance Control, heated and power-adjustable front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, navigation, Individual Sound System, a power rear window blind, and the Competition, Premium, and Cold Weather packages. Also has Gloss black bumper splitters, zhp illuminated short shifter, custom led angel eyes.

This M3 does not have a DCT like all of the other 39 frozen silver in North America as I have done a full manual swap which makes it even more special. It currently has 30,570 original miles on the clock. It was my weekend car knowing how rare these frozen silver editions are. The M3 was in California most of its life, so it did not see any snow. Unfortunately it does have a salvage title due to an accident made by the previous owner 7 years ago. The car has been professionally repaired in 2016, and has had zero issues during my ownership. Oil changes where done every 3-4k miles during my ownership. Last oil change was done less than 1000 miles ago.

I wouldn't say thats kinda hidden at all - seller seems pretty up front about it being a salvage title. Bargain price for a car that was deemed a total loss by an insurance company!!

Ayamazin · 05-22-2023, 10:15 PM

Any pics or info on the accident?

Absolutely stunning color, and a screaming deal despite the title status. If this was a clean title it would easily go for 100-150k+ in this market.

Its been a while since I bought the M3 but I did find Pictures of when it was at the shop getting fixed. It was technically a fender bender, I'm guessing the insurance totaled it off because of the frozen matt color.

The manual swap in this example adds value imo. 30-50% extra

Yes unfortunately it's missing the original steering wheel, due to the previous owner just taking it before it was sold by the insurance company. The door Sills with the checkered flags that is frozen silver specific is on the m3.

Very cool to see a manual frozen silver. Also, this has the wrong exhaust on it. It should be black tips and not silver. A challenging car to figure out the market value. rare edition(+), manual swap(+), lower miles(+), salvage title(-), small details(-). I picked up an 86k mile frozen silver edition with 1 accident but still clean title for $37,000. It had RBs done, and that was 6 months ago. My car's condition was worse than this.

Thanks, definitely a fun car to drive. The exhausts are the same just different color tips. Yep that is true... Thats a steal of a deal you got there for your frozen silver.

No value to modify an original DCT only car! Also a reasonably rare car!
