This BMW E90/E92/E93 M3 got away, but there are more like it here.

This 2008 BMW M3 convertible is finished in Jerez Black Metallic over Palladium Silver Novillo leather and is powered by a 4.0-liter S65 V8 paired with a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Equipment includes a retractable hardtop, 19″ double-spoke wheels, adaptive xenon headlights, power-adjustable and heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, iDrive with navigation, and a CD stereo. Modifications include a Dinan air intake, suspension components, and engine management software, along with a rear spoiler. The car was first registered in California and was purchased in 2016 by the seller, who has added 19k of its 53k miles. Service in 2019 included replacement of brake components and a fluid flush. This E93 M3 convertible is now offered on behalf of its current owner with service records, an accident-free Carfax report, and a clean California title.
