Overview

This 2011 BMW M3 Coupe Competition comes finished in Orange with Black leather interior and shows 174,832 km. Graded 3 with a D interior, this is very much a used example and priced accordingly, but still offers entry into one of BMW’s most iconic performance cars. The inspector notes multiple areas of wear including oil leakage, interior dirt, seat wear and trim damage, along with exterior imperfections across several panels. Despite this, the core appeal remains the naturally aspirated V8 M3 platform, making this a bargain opportunity for someone willing to take on a higher mileage car with visible wear.

Summary

A high mileage M3 Competition offered at a very low entry point. While condition reflects its use, it still delivers the raw V8 driving experience that defines this generation.

Why the M3 Competition Still Appeals

The E90 M3 remains the last of the naturally aspirated V8 M cars, delivering a unique driving experience that newer turbocharged models cannot replicate. Even higher mileage examples still attract buyers due to the engine and driving feel alone.
