Engineered by BMW's motorsports division as the high-performance variant of the 3-series, the fourth-generation M3 offers a naturally aspirated V8 engine, representing a significant departure from the lineage's traditional inline-six engines. This 2008 E92 M3 comes finished in Space Grey Metallic over Bamboo Beige Novillo leather and features a desirable 6-speed manual transmission, the Premium Package, the Cold Weather Package, 18” Style 219 wheels, and much more. Showing approximately 94k miles on the odometer, this E92 is now being offered for auction by its seller out of California.
The exterior comes finished in Space Grey Metallic. M3-specific details include high-gloss Shadowline trim, fender vents with integrated LED turn signals, revised bumpers and side skirts, an aluminum power dome hood, quad exhaust tips, a rear decklid spoiler, adaptive Xenon headlights, and a carbon-fiber roof panel. This example rides on 18” Style 219 wheels wrapped in Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus tires. The front side marker lenses are painted to match the body, and the xenon headlight bulbs were recently replaced. Minor imperfections, including some rock chips, are noted. The Carfax report includes a damage entry from March 2014. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.
Inside, the driver is greeted by Bamboo Beige Novillo leather upholstery. The Cold Weather Package adds heated front seats and a headlight cleaning system, while the Premium Package includes power-folding mirrors, a Bluetooth interface, and upgraded leather trim. M-specific details include sport seats, a sports steering wheel with tri-color stitching, and M3-branded doorsills. Also present on the steering wheel is the M Drive button, which allows numerous performance characteristics to be adjusted to suit the driver’s preference. Other equipment includes Anthracite headlining, dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, a universal garage door opener, a power rear sunshade, iDrive with navigation, and Comfort Access.
Beneath the hood lies a naturally aspirated high-compression 4.0-liter V8 engine generating as much as 414 HP and 295 lb.-ft of torque stock. Utilizing a 6-speed manual transmission and limited-slip differential, the M3 can accelerate from 0 to 60 MPH in as little as 4.8 seconds up to an electronically governed top speed of 155 MPH. Electronic Dampening Control is equipped as standard, allowing the driver to optimize suspension settings. A Remus USA cat-back exhaust system has been fitted, and the factory exhaust components are said to accompany the sale. Additionally, a recent Blackstone Laboratories oil report is provided in the gallery, and the car passed a California emissions inspection in July 2022.
This sale will include a clean title, the owner’s manuals, a toolkit, and the factory exhaust components.

@HatMan I don’t know if there was ever a clutch replacement. Pedal is firm and there are no catching issuing when engaging gears
@Stentr I mentioned this in my original post below as I don’t know the exact mileage before changing the oil when I purchased the vehicle.
Bid in the amount of $4,000
Was the clutch ever done?
Dear seller, the Blackstone report is useful if we know the age of the oil. If it was checked a week after an oil change it may not show much regardless of the condition of the rod bearings.

@kmt here is some background. I purchased this vehicle 2023 locally from a dealer auction so unfortunately I do not have service records on the vehicle prior to my ownership. Overall the car runs great and I have not had to do much during my ownership over the past year. Not having access to previous maintenance records, I wanted to have the oil tested by Blackstone Laboratories to see if there any issues with bearings as I know this is a know issue with this S65 engine. Based on the Blackstone report, there are no bearing materials or lead in the oil so it appears the bearings have been wearing well but I dont know how many miles were put on the car before the oil change. So to directly answer your question on the parts, I dont know if they may have been previously replaced.
I am happy to assist with any questions you may have so please feel free to send me a message directly via the Contact Seller button.
Have the rod bearings been done? Throttle actuators? Injectors? Any service records? Carfax is kinda sparse.
