Registered in 2008, this BMW M3 Convertible represents a fine example of the celebrated E93 generation, powered by the naturally aspirated 4.0 litre V8 engine that has become one of the most revered powerplants produced by BMW M. Delivering an intoxicating soundtrack and sharp performance, the model remains widely regarded as one of the last truly analogue M cars, combining high revving character with everyday usability.
Finished in a classic silver metallic exterior complemented by a black leather interior, the car presents well throughout and benefits from the desirable six speed manual transmission. The interior features the familiar driver focused M cockpit with multifunction steering wheel, aluminium trim and BMW’s iDrive system, while the folding hardtop roof allows the car to transform seamlessly from coupe like refinement to open top motoring at the touch of a button.
This example shows just 55,000 miles from new and was originally supplied by Barons BMW of Hindhead, Surrey.
