Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The BMW 3 SERIES (2005-12) M3 4DR SALOON 4.0 V8 6SPD is a high-performance, four-door executive saloon: more focused and exciting than an ordinary family car, but still usable day to day. In the UK used-car market it sits in the enthusiast end of the premium saloon class, alongside rivals such as the Audi RS4 and Mercedes-Benz C63.
Mycarcheck.com records 110 look-ups covering 33 different VINs, giving a useful snapshot rather than a full census. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £9,100, average recorded mileage of 86,000 miles and about 3.7 previous keepers. Average annual mileage is 4,000, suggesting many examples are used sparingly or as second cars.
Its V8 and six-speed manual deliver an involving drive, while four doors keep it practical. It suits experienced enthusiasts seeking weekend thrills and everyday flexibility, though fuel use and running costs exceed those of regular 3 Series models in its class.
