2009 BMW M3

Description

You're looking at a wolf that's trying to fit into sheep's clothing. After all, a 2009 BMW M3 dressed in a such a clean and pristine shade of white looks like it's reaching for the upper class, but most of us know that if it wanted to, the mean multi-valve 414 hp V8 can easily take on the toughest muscle cars on the streets.

The BMW M3 used to be about hiding aggression beneath an everyday commuter coupe body, but this one doesn't seem to do that job at all. The big, bold budge in the hood, wide body, and quad tailpipes, all come together to remind everyone that there's a Corvette killer within. In fact, M3 fans probably have already spotted the carbon fiber roof, which saves you around 50 lbs over the sunroof coupes, and lowers the center of gravity for better performance on the track, not to mention looks amazing. Of course even if you're not out for the best racetrack M3, the dark weave of the roof is a stunning contrast to the Alpine White paint that has the kind of factory-like luster you'd expect from a car that has a low 17,275 miles since new on the odometer.

The dark roof on this coupe is also a nice setup for the black interior, and it's so fresh, we're surprised it's not still wrapped in the factory plastic. Then again, if it were, you wouldn't be able to enjoy the quality of the flawless leather bucket seats. BMW spends a lot of time in the engineering department to make sure that you can power adjust them to strike the perfect balance of keeping you planted during hard cornering, while also being comfortable enough to always take the long way home. Speaking of comfort, this M3 comes loaded with features like automatic climate control, cruise control, power windows, power locks, keyless entry, heated seats, and a full AM/FM/CD/iPod premium audio navigation and infotainment system. All this modern luxury also means modern safety features such as front airbags, side airbags, and anti-lock brakes. But even with all these luxuries, you'll be reminded this is a true driver's car the moment you grab the three-spoke sports steering wheel (with paddle shift) and watch the crisp dual gauge pod do its dance. But just like any good German-engineered car there are plenty of technological touches that range from the selectable drive modes on the steering wheel, to the carbon fiber accents on the dash.

The 4.0-liter V8 under the hood is the largest displacement, and most amount of cylinders, ever allowed in an M3. This might sound like the recipe for a muscle car (and many ways it is!) but BMW is never content with just size to take on all comers. This is a 32-valve, DOHC, and variable valve timing V8 that's rated at 414 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque, and it finally red-lines at an amazing 8,300 RPM! Since this coupe has only averaged 3,000 miles per year, we have no doubt none of those ponies have escaped. But it's not just a great V8 that makes it superior. This M3 comes with the optional seven-speed double-clutch automated gearbox, that allows you to shift quicker than a manual via steering wheel paddle shifters (or the console shifter), or you can just leave it in automatic mode for more leisurely shifting. Add to this four-wheel disc brakes, Michelin Pilot Sport tires, speed sensitive power steering, a near 50/50 front/rear weight distribution, and one of the best engineered suspensions around – now that's an unbeatable driving package!

This is the ultimate driving machine that can carry the whole family. Plus, it's desirable options, ultra low mileage, and included owner's manual makes this the perfect future classic. So this is the kind of coupe you (and others) can value forever. Call today!!
