The BMW M3 (E9X generation) represents a defining moment in the history of the BMW M3 lineage - an era when BMW M departed from tradition and engineered something entirely unique. Produced from 2008–2013, the E9X generation remains the first and only production M3 powered by a naturally aspirated V8, marking a dramatic evolution for the platform and cementing its place as one of the most distinctive chapters in M Division history.

At the center of this transformation was the remarkable BMW S65 V8 engine. Derived from the architecture of BMW’s Formula One-inspired engineering philosophy and loosely related to the V10 found in the BMW M5 (E60), the S65 carried forward the high-revving character established by the legendary BMW S54 inline‑six engine while elevating performance to new heights. With 4.0 liters of displacement, eight individual throttle bodies, and a stratospheric 8,400-rpm redline, the S65 delivered both increased power and a uniquely visceral soundtrack—an unmistakable hallmark of the E9X M3 experience.

BMW paired this extraordinary engine with a variety of chassis configurations, offering the M3 in coupe, convertible, and -marking the return of a beloved format- the four-door sedan, which had not been available since the late 1990s. Equally significant was the introduction of BMW’s advanced 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT), providing lightning-fast shifts and track-ready performance while remaining available alongside the traditional 6-speed manual gearbox. At the time of production, the E9X M3 was among the most configurable M cars BMW had ever offered, allowing buyers to tailor a car that balanced luxury, performance, and driver engagement.

Nearly two decades after its debut, the E9X chassis remains a perennial favorite among enthusiasts and drivers alike. Among the most sought-after configurations is the two-door coupe equipped with the factory carbon fiber roof and the Competition Package - an option that sharpened the car’s handling dynamics while enhancing its visual presence. For many collectors and drivers, the formula is simple yet compelling: naturally aspirated V8 power, coupe body style, and a lightweight carbon roof. A combination that continues to define one of the most engaging modern M cars ever produced.

EVO MotorWerke is proud to present a superb example of that formula in this 2012 BMW M3 Coupe. Finished in BMW’s timeless Alpine White III over Black Novilla Leather interior, this E92 features the 7-speed DCT transmission paired with the S65 V8, along with the desirable Competition Package. Additional highlights include the signature carbon fiber roof panel and 19-inch Style 359M wheels, both of which underscore the purposeful design and performance pedigree of the E9X platform.

Originally delivered through BMW of Richmond, this example spent its life in the Washington, D.C. region with a single devoted owner who purchased the car new and enjoyed it regularly. Over twelve years of ownership, the vehicle benefitted from meticulous servicing performed at authorized BMW dealers, resulting in a comprehensive and well-documented maintenance history.

Following careful inspection and preparation, EVO MotorWerke now offers this M3 as a fully turn-key example, with all maintenance brought up to date and a fresh set of Michelin tires installed. The result is a highly desirable and thoughtfully maintained E92 M3—ready to be appreciated by its next enthusiast, whether on the open road or as part of a curated performance collection.
