The announcement of the fourth generation M3 was an event that sparked global excitement as the world was about to finally see the car that would succeed the legendary E46 M3, one of the most iconic M cars of all time. This meant that BMW had to come up with a way of integrating modern technology with the trademark characteristics of an M3. The result was a vehicle that was so well engineered that it would go on to be referred to as the most complete car in the world. This heavily tuned BMW M3 Competition Prior Design Widebody comes with impressive upgrades and is up for sale in The Golden State of California with just over 21,000 miles to its name.

Exterior and Interior

The ultra-exclusive exterior build of this 2012 BMW M3 Competition Prior Design Widebody is thanks to the aforementioned wide body that is reported to be the only one of its kind in existence. Enveloped in a full stage 3 Pearl paint job with paint correction and graphene ceramic coating, this 2012 SEMA show car has a contrasting black chrome kidney grill and matching side markers. On that note, the car is also equipped with a blacked-out set of SSR SP1 rims that have been professionally done by Mark Perrault. The wheels are wrapped in Toyo Proxes tires reported to have 70% of tread remaining. Around the back, you are able to observe a Vorsteiner carbon fiber trunk along with a Vorsteiner molded to the prior design of the rear bumper. Peeping from under the diffuser is a Match Schnell X-pipe with 200 cell High Flow Cats and RPI - Race Rear Section Exhaust. The interior of this M3 has received its own share of special treatment as well and includes new M3 floor mats, re-stitched full black Alcantara with diamond stitching on the seats, a P3 Vent gauge that displays boost, AFR, exhaust temp, 0-60 times and much more. Apart from that, the car maintains most of its standard interior trim in reportedly good condition.

Engine

Under the hood of this car lies the iconic S65B40 engine, the very first and only V8 engine ever to power an M3. As stock, this engine was able to produce a notch over 400hp and 295lb.ft of torque, but this 2012 BMW M3 Competition Prior Design Widebody happens to be fitted with a Harrop Supercharger with a BPM sports stage one tune, pushing the number much higher. The previous owner claims preventive maintenance was done, such as rod bearing replacements and oil changes every 2k miles. Included in the sale are all the receipts and paperwork of the maintenance and upgrades of the car, along with the stock exhaust and engine manifold. Tucked away behind the wheels is an R1 Concept Forged series complete big brake kit with two-piece floating brake rotors and stainless-steel brake lines to ensure the stopping power matches the power increase. Enhancing the already spectacular handling prowess of the M3 is a set of KWV3 coil-overs with EDC delete as well as fully adjustable height and rebound.
