2008 BMW M3 E93 Convertible | Manual | V8 | Melbourne Red | Rare Combination
A rare opportunity to secure a manual V8 BMW M3 and even more special in E93 convertible form. Finished in stunning Melbourne Red with a tan leather interior, this example has travelled just 80,000km and presents beautifully.
Powered by BMWs legendary 4.0L naturally aspirated S65 V8, producing 309kW (414hp) and 400Nm, this is one of the last high-revving M engines. Redlining at 8,400rpm, the character is completely different to modern turbo cars linear, raw and incredibly engaging, especially paired with the 6-speed manual gearbox.
Manual E9x M3s are becoming increasingly hard to find, and even more so in convertible form. Most buyers opted for the DCT, making this a proper enthusiast specification.
Previously owned by a doctor and clearly well cared for, it comes with a good service history and drives exactly as it should.
