Sitting in the driver’s seat of any E9X M3 variant for the first time, immediately takes you back to your youth. When a bulge in a bonnet raised eyebrows and caused you to drool and ponder what lurked under the hood. Back then it was usually a bank of thirsty Webers or a fuel guzzling Holley Double Pumper. Today a large black plenum chamber nestling between either bank of this 4 litre V8 is why that tell-tale bonnet bulge is required.

The E92 M3 exudes a typical M-sport essence: Fine leather seats, sports steering wheel with contrasting stitching and the introduction of the M Drive button, BMW’s first generation dual clutch transmission with a 7-speed gearbox and paddles, electric damper control suspension (EDC) and powered by a formula 1 inspired V8. Featuring a double VANOS, individual throttle valves and latest electronics the S65 V8 only weighed 202kg and were produced in the Landshut light metal foundry, where BMW Sauber F1 engines were also manufactured.

The first thing you see when you open the bonnet is that all so important M Badge and V8 emblazoned in front of you. Hidden away under this plenum chamber is the awesome BMW S65 engine. Normally aspirated, 4 litre, quad camshaft, 32 valves, with variable valve timing, revving beyond 8000 rpm, producing 414 bhp and 400 Nm of torque. This beautifully engineered motor will go down in the history books as one of the best V8s of all time.

This stunning 3 owner example features a 100% full-service history and documented service history from new, having covered only 32, 000 miles.
