BMW M3 Cabriolet E93

2013 BMW M3 Cabriolet E93 – 6-Speed Manual

The E93 BMW M3 Cabriolet represents a special chapter in BMW M history. It was part of the only M3 generation powered by a naturally aspirated V8 and this example pairs that legendary engine with the increasingly sought-after six-speed manual gearbox.

At its heart is BMW’s S65B40 4.0-litre V8, producing 309 kW and capable of revving beyond 8,000 rpm. Its sharp throttle response, unmistakable soundtrack and traditional manual transmission deliver the wonderfully analogue driving experience for which this generation has become celebrated.

Finished in elegant Silverstone II Metallic with a black leather interior, the car looks equally impressive with its folding metal roof raised or lowered. The retractable hardtop provides the refinement and security of a coupé while still allowing the full open-air V8 experience at the touch of a button.

With only limited numbers of manual E93 M3 Cabriolets making their way to South Africa, examples such as this are becoming increasingly difficult to find. With just 50,450 km indicated, it presents a rare opportunity to own an increasingly collectible modern M car.

Combining a high-revving naturally aspirated V8, six-speed manual transmission and open-top motoring, it offers an experience BMW is unlikely ever to produce again.
