About the 2008 BMW M3 Sedan

The E90 M3 sedan marked BMW's bold leap into V8 territory, ditching the beloved straight-six for a screaming 4.0-liter naturally aspirated V8 that revved to 8,400 rpm. This S65 engine, derived from BMW's Formula One program, delivered 414 horsepower through a proper six-speed manual to the rear wheels. While Chris Bangle's controversial styling divided opinion, the E90's performance credentials were undeniable. The sedan variant offered practicality without compromising the M3's track-focused DNA. Today, these represent the last naturally aspirated M3s and the final generation available with three pedals, making clean examples increasingly sought after by collectors who appreciate BMW's commitment to driver engagement over outright efficiency.
