This M3 has always been garaged and was never driven in anything but the best weather days. This is basically a new car for a fraction of the cost. The service and maintenance on this vehicle was always performed at the BMW dealer in Germany. (This car was just shipped directly from Germany, where we were living.)
NOTE: this vehicle is US Specs aside from the Maps that are currently Europe but everything is in English. The update to US Maps can be done with an update via USB or by taking to a dealer.
This is a perfect combination of a luxury vehicle and true sports car. All options are listed below but a few specifics to mention are the M Series Specific 19” Forged Alloy Wheels, the cold weather package that includes the front heated seats and the ski/transport bag that can be used by pulling the armrest down in the backseat.
The BMW hardtop convertible is one of the best in the car industry and takes about a minute to put down or up, making it the best of both worlds. Top up, the roof provides a quiet drive and little road noise. The top down and you can view the landscape and scenery as far as your eye can see.
While we weren’t looking for a convertible before we bought this car, we couldn’t have been happier with a traditional hardtop! If you’ve never owned a convertible, you have no idea what you’re missing, especially with a hardtop that goes up/down in about a minute with just the touch of a button.
This color combination of the Novillo Fox Red Leather Interior and the Alpine White Exterior is very striking. We often get compliments about what a beautiful car this is, both from car enthusiasts and novices alike. NOTE:the interior is not a fire engine red, but a more sophisticated deep burnt reddish color – see pics. This vehicle has all of the bells and whistles! With the striking colors, lines and amazing performance, this car will bring sheer joy and pleasure to its new owner for years to come as it has for us. We have enjoyed this car immensely and are actually sad to be selling it. We would love to see it go to someone who will love and care for this baby like we have. Okay, down to the details.

If you don't know much about the M3 convertible, it is a whole new driving experience. This car uses the Double-clutch transmission (DCT), which I immediately fell in love with! For those who prefer automatic, you will be happy to know you can adjust the aggressiveness of the shifting - whether it shifts at lower RPMs or a more sporty setting closer to the red line. For those who like to be in control with a manual transmission, you have the choice of paddle shifters or the standard stick shifter - no clutch pedal is needed. I thought I would be a hard sell not to have a fully manual transmission with a clutch pedal, but I couldn't have more surprised and impressed with the DCT. It reacts like a stick shift, meaning you put it into 1st gear but when you take your foot off the break it stays idle. Not until you nudge the gas pedal does it start to go. And then whether you're in manual or automatic mode, this car knows how to drive. You will not be disappointed with the acceleration, the incredible handling or the look and feel of this M3!
