With its world premier at the 2007 Frankfurt Motorshow, the fourth generation BMW M3 was met with critical acclaim, with Motor Trend magazine claiming it to be the "world's single best car" and Jeremy Clarkson remarking that "this is the best car, and always will be, and there is no point in ever thinking otherwise." Based on the then current E90/E92/E93 platform, the production car featured flared arches, a sculpted bonnet, larger alloy wheels and quad exhaust tailpipes. To completely revamp the "M" badge as well, for the first time BMW ditched the 6-Cylinder engines for which the M3 was renowned for and replaced it with a 4.0 V8.
The 4.0 V8 engine packs a serious amount of punch, with 414BHP and 295 ib/ft of torque, allowing for a 0-60mph time of sub 5 seconds. Originally offered with just a 6-Speed Manual Transmission, as of 2008 there was also the option of a 7-Speed DCT Twin Clutch Semi-Automatic Gearbox which reduces gearshift pauses by a tenth of a second and actually reduces the 0-60mph time but 0.2 seconds compared with the manual. The DCT is a truly superb gearbox and is a massive improvement over the slow and dim-witted SMG gearbox fitted to the previous E46 generation. The DCT is very slick on both auto and manual changes.
As standard, the M3 comes very well equipped with Auto Bi-Xenon Headlights, Full Leather Interior, Sports Bodykit, Power Roof, Climate Control, Cruise Control, Electric Windows and Mirrors and Reverse Parking Sensors. In 2011, the model range received a minor facelift with what BMW call "LCI" updates. These include LED Rear Lights, Auto Start/Stop, as well as various minor interior trim updates.
"OE61YVG" is a 2011 Model Year "LCI" Updated M3 Convertible fitted with the 4.0 V8 Engine mated to the 7-Speed DCT Twin-Clutch Gearbox.
