Some cars just stand the test of time better than others. One look at this 2009 BMW M3, decked out in its believed-original black paint, and it's easy to see why this iconic machine is one of those cars. Compared to the standard 3-Series, the E92 M3 featured a unique front fascia, widened fenders, special side skirts, and model-specific wheels, all making the fourth generation of Bimmer's superstar car the benchmark by which all other sports cars would be measured against during the majority of the late 2000s and early 2010s.
Inside, BMW didn't forget that the M3 also needed to be a luxury car. A driver-centric cockpit begins with a pair of supportive and plush bucket seats. A power-assisted, M-spec steering wheel comes complete with thumb controls for the stereo and cruise control. A dual-pod gauge cluster features a 200 mph speedometer and a 9,000 rpm tachometer with colored warning lights to alert the driver when approaching the redline. A digital tachometer shows off this car's 144,941 actual miles, proving there is plenty of joy left to be had from behind the wheel. Heated power seats, locks, windows, and mirrors, along with navigation, dual-zone air conditioning, and cruise control, provide all the modern amenities one could ask for. At the same time, the Bluetooth-enabled AM/FM/AUX/CD premium sound system handles soundtrack duties.
Under the hood, we find the last naturally aspirated engine an M3 would be privy to in the Bimmer lineup. A 4.0-liter DOHC V-8 engine. Thanks to variable valve timing, individual throttle bodies, and a high-revving disposition, this S65 motor could pump out an impressive 414 horsepower at 8,300 rpm and 295 pound-feet of torque at 3,900 rpm. Those ponies are routed through a slick-shifting and believed-original seven-speed DCT transmission before being sent out to the M 'Variable' limited-slip rear differential.

This 2009 BMW M3 rides on a fully independent suspension consisting of MacPherson struts, stiffer springs, and a thicker anti-roll bar up front (compared to the base 3-Series), while a multi-link setup is used in the rear, along with another thicker anti-roll bar. Nineteen-inch alloy wheels proudly displaying BMW center caps are wrapped in 245/35ZR-19 Continental rubber up front, while a pair of wider 265/35ZR-19 tires are used in the rear. Thanks to its timeless design, perfect 50/50 weight distribution, high-revving powerband, and comfortable high-end interior, the E92 M3 is quickly becoming a genuine collector's car.
