Love my M3 Vert
by Somesie on 3/8/2022 2:19:18 AM
Bought my 2013 BMW E93 M3 Convertible used in 2018 for $30K. Happy to say that my car actually appreciated 20% while I have owned it. Its a great car. Drives amazing and I absolutely love the sound of the engine and exhaust when I have the top down. The naturally aspirated engine only adds to the driving experience. I have driven the manual and the 7 speed dual clutch. I do prefer the dual clutch but appreciate the manual. The car does not have a high torque but it makes up for it with the high revving redline and when you push it past 3000 RPM's you can appreciate the power of the V8. This is the first generation M3 with a v8 and a hardtop retractable convertible. Only about 16,000 (2600 per year) verts were produced over 6 years worldwide. Making it sort of rare. I believe this car will be sought after by collectors and enthusiast alike over time. I really wanted to by a z8 but those cars have skyrocketed in value ($180K-$250K) and are unattainable. But I am very happy with the E93. Similar feel of a z8 with the V8 and convertible. If you like a convertable that turns heads and is fast - this is the car for you. This is not your regular 3 series BMW.
