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.
