This is the one everyone talks about. The last naturally aspirated V8 M3, and one of the most characterful M cars BMW has ever built.

Finished in White with a black leather interior, this example has covered just 49,100 km (30,510 miles) and carries a strong 4.5 grade with B interior. Low mileage, clean grade, and exactly the kind of car buyers are chasing as values continue to climb.

Why the E90 M3

This was the moment BMW M went all-in.A high-revving 4.0 V8 producing one of the best engine notes of any modern car, paired with a balanced chassis that could handle daily driving just as well as spirited runs.At the time, it was described as “one of the most complete performance saloons ever built,” and it still holds that reputation today.What makes it special now is simple. They do not build them like this anymore.

Driving Experience

This is where the car stands apart.
The S65 V8 revs to over 8,000 rpm and delivers power in a way turbocharged engines simply cannot replicate. Smooth, sharp, and incredibly responsive.

It is just as comfortable cruising as it is being pushed hard, which is exactly why it earned such strong praise when new.
Even now, it feels special every time you drive it.
