Finished in Jerez Black Metallic over a Fox Red leather interior, this 2012 BMW M3 Coupe and features a 6-speed manual transmission paired with a naturally aspirated S65 V8 engine. It comes equipped with the optional Competition Package, iDrive with navigation, heated and power-adjustable sport seats, an electric sunroof, an active M Variable Differential Lock, 19” Style 359 wheels, and more. Sold new in Canada, the car is said to have been previously owned and maintained by a private collector and is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Illinois with approximately 55k miles showing on the odometer.
The M3 is differentiated from the standard E92 3-Series Coupe by its flared wheel arches, front fender vents, side skirts, unique bumpers, quad exhaust outlets, and an aluminum “power dome” hood. This example is finished in Jerez Black Metallic with gloss-black Shadowline trim, chrome kidney grilles, and silver 19” Style 359 Competition Package light alloy wheels. Other equipment includes an optional electric sunroof, adaptive xenon headlamps, rain-sensing windshield wipers, a trunk lid spoiler, and chrome front kidney grilles. The car rides on Michelin Pilot Sport tires from 2022 and is described to be in very good overall condition. The seller adds that the front bumper was previously refinished, additional images are provided in the gallery along with a CARFAX report showing an accident in 2018.
The cabin is appointed with Fox Red leather upholstery complemented by black carpeting, Anthracite cloth headliner, and brushed aluminum trim. Accessories include heated and power-adjustable seats with lumbar support and driver position memory, a three-spoke M sport multifunction steering wheel, an M shift knob and foot pedal, M3-branded door sills and floor mats, automatic climate control, cruise control, a sound system, and iDrive with navigation.
A naturally aspirated 4.0-liter S65 V8 delivers up to 414 HP and 295 lb.-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission and an M Variable Differential Lock. The optional Competition Package adds a 10mm lower ride height along with more responsive Electronic Damper Control (EDC) and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) programming. All available maintenance history is provided on the CARFAX report including service in 2023 with an oil and filter change, new brake pads, resurfaced rotors, and four new tires.
This sale will include owner’s manuals and a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: “Ace Motorworks is here to present you the best.”

@batting to the best of our knowledge they have not been done as we have no record of them being done. This car drives great though and has no mechanical issues.
@AceMotorworks any indication if the rod bearings and throttle actuators have been addressed on this M3? both are known mechanical failure points for the S65 engines on these cars ... any info/clarification would help a lot for this auction.
Hello,
Paint meter test has been uploaded, the previous owner had stated that the hood and front bumper were refinished per the accident.
Additional content has been added to the gallery for this listing.
Any details on the accident?
Hello, you said you were going to provide paint meter pictures? Any updates? Thanks

Is there any indication or record of the rod bearing service that these cars require being completed?

Best of luck to the seller. Simple spec! Somebody will enjoy this one.
@DoveMtnMotors no we do not have any hard copy service records but there are no mechanical issues with this vehicle. We can provide paint meter pictures tomorrow.
It's not about what I like. Every picture of the exterior is distorted by reflections of the lights and the other things in the room. Every close up reveals hard water spotting and finger prints. It's just not a good presentation of a very cool car. Is there any documentation of the accident other than Carfax? Any maintenance records? Can you pride paint meter readings?
@DoveMtnMotors We are sorry that you do not like these photos. We can upload more if you like.
These are maybe the worst photos ever. All are highly distorted.
This car was never registered in Illinois. We are a Dealer in the suburbs of Chicago and have the car listed for sale here.
The car was last reported on carfax in delray beach florida. Was the car never registered in IL?
