Build history

Selling my beloved Black Sapphire Metallic 2018 BMW M3 Competition with approximately 55,000 miles. The car had an original MSRP of $90,600. I acquired her in October of 2020 with 8,000 miles from the original owner.

Price is $50,000 which includes all of the spare parts.

The car is enthusiast-owned and has been developed with top-quality, track-proven components while remaining a streetable family sedan I use with my three children. This is a genuinely capable dual-purpose car. It has been driven and used on track and therefore has normal cosmetic wear, consistent with its mileage and use. The car is located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan (10021) and is always garaged.

Reason for sale: buying a G80.

VIN: WBS8M9C52J5L00705

The sale price includes several spare parts.

Condition and History

The Carfax reflects a prior theft recovery from 2021 during my ownership and a moderate side-impact accident shortly thereafter. I have photos and documentation for both incidents – the car was stolen from my valet attended garage and recovered a few hours later missing carbon fiber parts. Note: The title clean as the damage was less than the threshold required to brand it. The car currently has approximately 55,000 miles and has been used as intended, including track use at HPDE’s.

It does not have paint-protection film and has normal cosmetic wear. I want to be transparent about the car’s history and condition so prospective buyers understand that this is a properly used and developed track-capable car, rather than a cosmetically perfect collector example.

Flexible Sale Package

The exact sale package is flexible. I have multiple sets of wheels and tires, brake components, spare parts and other related equipment available that is mostly listed above.

Depending on the buyer’s needs and the final negotiated price, the car can be sold with more or fewer of these items. A buyer who does not need every spare can purchase a simpler package, while someone seeking a complete, ready-to-use track setup can include additional wheels, tires, brake components and spares.

For the bill of sale, there will be a reasonable allocation of the total negotiated purchase price between the vehicle and the separately sold parts and spares
