WTB Very Rare E92 M3

Looking to purchase a very rare E92 M3.

Not sure if one exists in Canada, but I am looking for a fire orange or santorini blue 2013 competition package in 6 speed manual with under 10,000 kms. If you know have one, or know anyone with one, please get in touch.

Preferences (open to cars that don’t meet this criteria):
-under 10k kms (lower km the better)
-service history
-6 speed (if you have a DCT, please still PM me)
-Fully loaded (nav, upgraded audio, rear sunshade, carbon interior trim, etc)
-Individual colour (also open to non individual colours like le mans blue or interlagos blue)
-Individual colour stitching
-a car that’s always been in BC

Must have:
-competition package
-LCI
-no accidents / claims / paint work / stories
-carbon roof
-Located in Canada / Canadian spec car.

Location Vancouver, BC. Open to shipping.

I understand this is a hard ask and I am not in a rush to find one.

Bump. Ad updated.

lol good luck finding that...if it exists it'll prob be a 6 figure car.

Might as well dream big!

Mileage is too high and I am not looking for a US car.

Long shot, but see if you can get a hold of this guy in Toronto:

Correct. I initially posted the ad in September looking for a lowish mileage, comp pack. I have since purchased one with 30k kms. However, I updated my ad middle of December as I am now looking for another with even lower mileage in an individual colour.

I'm in no rush to purchase. I understand finding a car like this will take time and will only move forward when the right one becomes available.

Thank you.

From memory, BMW Canada offered up both of those two colours late in 2013 MY production run - they were pre-spec'd with DCT. I was at Calgary BMW in that time and was able to order one of the Fire Orange Editions with a stick - and received zero invoice credit, even though the DCT was an up charge back then(!) As far as I know it was the only manual one in that run, and zero Santorini Blue Editions were produced in stick.

I chatted with the Sales Consultant who sold the Fire Orange stick a year or two (?) ago, and he told me that his original client still owned it. I can't recall if we talked about mileage or not.

Barring specifically the Special Ed versions, your unicorn would have to have been a one-off IND build, especially with the low km/BC criteria.

I ordered 3 other IND Fire Orange E92 M3s - one each in 2011 (as soon as I read about the Year of the Tiger edition for China https://www.bmwblog.com/2010/08/10/limited-bmw-m3-tiger-edition-for-china/, I got in line for an IND build - the first Fire Orange for Canada), 2012, and 2013 early, well before the run-out edition was announced.

Stick had by then become the exception rather than the rule when ordering E9x M3 for inventory, much to this enthusiast's chagrin... even at a dealership known for carrying more manuals than the other stores.

All the best with your search.
