This 2013 BMW (E92) M3 LCI is a late-production example of BMW’s last naturally aspirated M3, finished in Alpine White over black leather and powered by the iconic 4.0-litre S65 V8 engine. It is paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch (DCT) transmission and has travelled 155,258 km. This example presents well overall and has benefitted from recent mechanical attention including upgraded rod bearings, new brakes, and suspension components. The E92 M3 marked the end of the naturally aspirated M-car era. Powered by the 309kW S65 V8, derived from BMW’s Formula 1 program, the E92 offered a high-revving, motorsport-inspired driving experience unlike anything before or since in the M3 lineage.

LCI (facelift) models, produced from late 2010 onward, introduced updated lighting, interior trim, and subtle refinements — making them the most sought-after versions of the platform today. This car has been in the hands of its current owner since 2020, and has travelled just 5,000 km during that time. Unfortunately, no early ownership history or prior service documentation is available, though the current owner has undertaken key preventative maintenance with supporting invoices photographed as part of the listing. Recent mechanical work includes the installation of an ACL race-series rod bearing set paired with new OEM BMW rod bolts, along with a new sump gasket and bolt set. The engine mounts have also been replaced.

The front suspension received a second-hand strut pair that had travelled only 1,500 km, and the braking system was refreshed with new genuine BMW disc rotors and pads at both ends. The car has also been fitted with new tyres front and rear. More recently, the rear differential oil was replaced with genuine BMW boost fluid. Since the fluid change, a mild clutch chatter noise has occasionally been heard when turning tightly. This is a known characteristic in limited-slip differentials, and both Southern BM and a local BMW dealership advised that it may subside after approximately 800 km of bedding-in — a distance the car has not yet covered since the change.

Cosmetically, the vehicle presents well and honestly for its age and mileage. There are the usual light imperfections expected of a 150,000 km car, but nothing of significance. The front bumper was professionally resprayed to correct cosmetic scratching present when the car was purchased. The remainder of the paint and bodywork is original to the owner's knowledge, and there is no record or evidence of any accident damage, resprays, or restorations. The black leather interior remains unmodified and in clean condition, with minimal wear noted on the bolsters and trim surfaces.

No aftermarket changes have been made to the exhaust, suspension, electronics, or mechanical components. Included with the car is the original tool set, a locking wheel nut, and documentation including parts invoices for the mechanical work carried out under current ownership. With important preventative maintenance completed and a desirable LCI specification, this E92 M3 offers a compelling opportunity for a buyer seeking a high-revving, V8-powered modern classic.
