First developed as a homologation car in the E30 generation, the M3 has long stood as the ultimate intersection between everyday practicality and sporty driving characteristics. When BMW showed its fifth-generation M3 in 2013, it was the first time that the coupe and sedan had been broken up with their own model names, with the M3 being the four-door, and the M4 the two-door variant. This also represented the first M3 to come from the factory with forced induction, utilizing twin-turbochargers on its 3.0-liter inline 6. Without a doubt, the F80 generation was one of the most attractive BMW sedans the brand had ever produced, and with this new engine, it was capable of 425 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. Although horsepower was only raised by 11 over the outgoing E90 generation, the torque was up more than 110 lb-ft and all of the power was available much earlier in the rev range, resulting in a 0-60 sprint of just 3.9 seconds. This 2015 BMW M3 is finished in one of the launch colors for the car – Austin Yellow Metallic – and shows 56,842 miles at the time of cataloging. Sold new through BMW of Houston in October 2014, this M3 spent time in Texas before coming to Washington in October 2020. Sitting on the optional 19” twin-5-spoke wheels in beautiful black and polished two-tone, which pairs perfectly with the high-gloss Shadowline exterior trim, this M3 features a great list of desirable options and a full service history. The interior is wrapped in black Merino leather and fitted with seat and steering wheel heaters, upgraded Harman Kardon stereo, and a head-up display. Comfort Access offers keyless entry, while Surround View, Park Distance Control and a reversing camera make parking simple. The 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline-6 has received thorough servicing throughout its life at both BMW main dealers and respected independent shops, and runs strong. Optioned with the 7-speed M-DCT dual-clutch gearbox, this M3 offers lightning-fast shifts, but is pleasant to drive in traffic, making this truly the ultimate do anything vehicle. If you are looking for a car that stands out from the crowd and is equally at home on the track as it is driving to work, this F80 M3 is a hard car to beat. Key Features

The Porsche 996-generation 911 saw the continuation of the Carrera 4S trim, which had debuted on the outgoing 993. This was seen as a perfect blend of naturally aspirated performance, paired with numerous desirable bits from the 996 Turbo. These include wider rear fenders, more powerful brakes with corresponding red calipers, Turbo suspension and the all-important Turbo-Twist wheels. Additionally, a Turbo front bumper and red strip between the taillights gave the Carrera 4S (or C4S to Porsche fans) a look all its own and one that people still hold in high regard as one of the most attractive 996s.

This 2004 Carrera 4S was delivered new to dealership The Collection in Coral Gables, FL in December of 2003, and remained in Florida until coming to Washington in 2018. Finished in Basalt Black Metallic over a Graphite Gray interior, the car shows 56,309 miles at the time of cataloging and benefits from some recent servicing. The black paint looks stunning on the wide rear fenders and is improved further by the facelifted 996 chrome headlights and smoked tails – which are now paired with matching clear corner marker lights. On the interior, Graphite Gray leather covers the seats, door cards, steering wheel and shifter, and the carpets and dashboard are finished to match. The wonderful feeling 3-spoke steering wheel frames the 996’s take on Porsche’s famed 5-gauge dashboard, and the center stack retains the original Bose hi-fi system.

Powering the 996 Carrera 4S is a 3.6-Liter version of Porsche’s M96 water-cooled flat-6. In the C4S, it was good for 320 horsepower at 6,800 rpm and 273 lb-ft of torque at 4,250 rpm while making that wonderful 996 sound. This then sends power to all four wheels via a 6-speed manual gearbox. The wonder of this all-wheel drive system is that in nearly every situation, the front wheels only receive 5% of the engine’s power, but when slip is detected, up to 40% can make its way forward, meaning this is an exceptionally capable sports car for all weather conditions. The 996 is a great entry into the world of the 911 and the Carrera 4S is without a doubt, one of the most special cars to come from that generation. This example is offered in an appealing color combination and with considerable recent service history.
