When it comes to modifying cars, it is easy for people to go overboard. Most of the time, some light modifications can do a ton to enhance the look or driving experience of a car, but once you start down that road, it's easy to make the car look way too over the top or just unpleasant to drive on the street. Thankfully, the previous owner of this 2011 E90 M3 did not fall into the trap of over-modding and instead, has created a car that looks, drives, sounds, and feels even better than a stock example. Finished in LeMans Blue, this 2011 M3 shows less than 43,000 miles on the odometer and has been exceptionally cared for since new.

Ordered in what has become one of the most desirable combinations of a slick top, no navigation, manual seats, and a manual gearbox, this is a rare car that will be sought after for years to come. On top of all that, a long list of high-end modifications makes this car truly stand out from the rest and gives it superior handling, sound, and driving feel behind the wheel. The first thing that you notice when you look at the car is the absolutely stunning wheels- a set of 18” BBS RI-As in Diamond Silver give the car an almost concept car-like appearance, but are lightweight and durable as well. Sitting behind those wheels is a set of Brembo GT brakes with massive yellow calipers that offer outstanding feel and stopping power. Between the wheels and brakes alone, the modifications add up to more than $10,000 and we are just getting started. The other exterior modifications are more subtle but increase the car's sporting appearance. An AlphaN carbon fiber GTS front lip spoiler is a replica of that found on the Euro-only M3 GTS, a BMW Performance rear spoiler on the decklid in carbon fiber that offers a visual balance between the front and rear. And don't overlook the Akrapovic rear section exhaust combined with the Akarapoiv Titanium Unobtainium exhaust tips that were re-released to the market in 2022 with a total production count of 15. You can't miss this sound as it storms by you. With all of these modifications, they go a long way to help the car stand out, while still appearing almost OEM+ in appearance. The entire front of the car is wrapped in Xpel clear paint protection film and a set of European taillights have also been installed.

The interior of this car was specified with Black Novillo Extended Leather from the factory but has also been extensively modified with high-quality carbon fiber and Alcantara accents throughout. On the dashboard, doors, and center console, the BMW performance carbon fiber package has been added- replacing the standard wood or brushed stainless steel, this package livens up the interior and all of the pieces are top quality. An Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel from iND has been added along with BMW Performance Pedals, and an Alcantara shifter, e-brake boot, and center armrest. The car has been given arguably the best touch point of all with a OE F10 M5 weighted shift knob to compelte the overall feel and engament of this transmission and keeping the OEM+ look.

BMW's highly tuned S65 V8 sits under the hood and has already received the two major preventive fixes everyone looks for on these cars- BE rod bearings with APR rod bolts, and replacement throttle actuators to ensure problem-free motoring going forward. A Stage 1 and 2 tune by BPM Tuning has been applied to this car and more rigid Group N Style engine mounts help you really feel the car but are not brutally stiff. This engine is then connected to a 6-speed manual transmission which has benefitted from the addition of an Understeer short throw shifter and UCP Clutch pedal. The suspension has been significantly improved with a desirable set of KW Clubsport 3 Way coil overs which offer tons of tunability for whatever kind of driving you hope to use the car for. Additionally, Eibach front and rear swaybars have been added as well as Dinan Monoball front ball joints which were professionally installed.

In summary, it's hard to imagine a more well-rounded E90 M3 than this car- it may not be the most modified one out there, but the extensive list of upgrades only enhances the driving experience and will make for a fun, reliable car for years to come. If you are looking for a modified E90, this is a car where all the heavy lifting has already been completed and it is ready for you to just get in the car and start enjoying what is without a doubt, one of the best cars to ever roll out of the BMW factory.
