Buyer-facing read on this listing
I am listing my E92 M3 for sale. I purchased this to swap everything into my E91 wagon. Unfortunately, it is too big of a project for me to tackle at the moment. Car Basics: 2008 BMW M3 Coupe WBSWD93598PY42227 Alpine white exterior / Black interior Sunroof 191K miles 6MT $17,000 Clean title The Good: Recent receipts totaling over $42K in the past 12K miles including: – Brand new OEM S65 long block from BMW – Rod bearings done with OE bearings – OEM valve covers & gaskets – OEM Vanos gears – Mporium vanos gear covers – Etc. New clutch/flywheel OEM 359M Competition wheels The Bad: – Check engine light is on as the motor was not timed correctly when the motor was reinstalled in the car. The timing chain has stretched, so the timing chain will need to be replaced and retimed, but the car is fully drivable. – Those familiar with BMWs will note there is a tamper dot on the odometer. The gauge cluster was replaced at some point and the tamper dot came on. As far as I know and can tell, the mileage is accurate. The Carfax shows consistent mileage, is not TMU according to the DMV and given the motor rebuild 12K miles ago, this wasn’t a concern for me when I bought the car. – Red brake light is on due to driver side front sensor plug – TPMS light is on as there are two versions the E92 used – the wheels have TMPS sensors as it the wheels came from an LCI car. – Headlights are functional, but are not adaptive. – 3 accidents on Carfax: 2 minors and 1 minor/moderate The Ugly: – Front and rear bumpers have seen some parking lot bumps – doesn’t affect anything, but just ugly. – Driver side front fender has a hairline crack on top and where it meets the bumper. Very common as the e92 fenders are plastic. – Sunroof cover liner is sagging – Driver seat has a bit of bolster wear – Aftermarket headunit compatible with Apple Carplay, but sometimes disconnects – Some dings and dents around the car This is the cheapest clean title E92 M3 I can find and it is for a reason. I have listed all the flaws I know of and have priced it accordingly. This is the perfect candidate for anyone looking to S65 + 6MT swap their car. Once the motor is retimed, you will have a completely refreshed engine with a litany of new OEM parts – not something you will get with any other donor car.
Price sits close to the current comparable average, so the decision will come down to condition, provenance, and how complete the file is.
Photo coverage is reasonably deep at 6 images, which helps with judging cosmetics and seller transparency before leaving VINthusiast.
Documentation still reads thin here, so this is the kind of listing where invoice detail and specialist history should drive the next round of diligence.
