2009 BMW M3 6-Speed

Prixvo’s Position

This 2009 BMW M3 sedan (E90) is an exceptional example of the high-revving, naturally aspirated V8 performance icon. Imported from Japan two years ago, the car is finished in Alpine White over a Bamboo Beige leather interior and is powered by the legendary 4.0L S65 V8 engine paired with a six-speed manual transmission. With 89,000 kilometers (approximately 55,000 miles) on the odometer, this M3 has been meticulously maintained and lightly upgraded with an F10 M5 shift knob and LCI trunk and taillights (original pre-LCI parts included). We are proud to offer such a pristine example exclusively on Prixvo.
