During development of the E90/92 variant of the M3, BMW’s Motorsport department weighed its options for a powertrain. It was necessary for the new car to have markedly higher power output than the outgoing E46 model, but without sacrificing weight. It landed on designing an all-new aluminum V-8 displacing four litres and producing 414 hp while revving to a dizzying 8,300 rpm. While the M3 had always offered a well-balanced performance car, this new V-8, known internally as the “S65B40,” would thrust the car into near-supercar levels of performance, thus continuing the legend of the M3.
Debuted in 2007, the M3 evolved over its lifetime, eventually being offered in Coupe (E92), Sedan (E90), and Convertible (E93) versions. For the final year of production, BMW offered a striking and rare limited edition called the Lime Rock Park Edition, named after the historic racetrack in Connecticut.
This Lime Rock Park Edition offered from The Rudy “Mr. 993” Mancinas Collection is a striking example that appears in outstanding original condition, showing under 4,500 miles at the time of cataloguing. As with each of the 200 built, it is finished in vibrant Fire Orange over a black cloth and leather interior, and this example is outfitted with the M-DCT dual-clutch gearbox and premium package, as well as heated front seats and carbon leather interior trim. Equipped with a special Inconel exhaust system adding 5 hp over the standard model, this is the ultimate US-specification M3 of this generation.
