Notes
The BMW E90 M3 DCT is a high-performance four-door/front-engine/rear-wheel-drive sedan assembled at the BMW facility in Regensburg, Germany, from April 2008 to July 2013. This stunning German machine operates with a 4.0L V8 naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum output power of 420 Hp at 8300 Rpm, with 400 Nm of torque, coupled with the well-known 7-speed Getrag ''M-DTC'' transmission. This all-arounder revs from 0-62 MPH in just 4.6 seconds, arriving at a top registered speed of 155.40 MPH, impressive for a not-so-light 3540 Lbs vehicle. According to motorsports experts and mechanical engineers, the M3 E90 is one of the ''Greatest All-Around Cars in the World,'' and that's a noticeable fact for anyone owning one.
The reliable, sturdy-looking BMW E90 M3 DCT has a level of craftsmanship worthy of a top spot in the German automotive industry. It comes out of the factory wearing 18-in wheels, Continental Sport Contact 3245/40/R18-265/40/R18 tires, supported by the coil spring front suspension combined with a helical spring rear. For stopping power, it includes ventilated discs with ABS on all 4-wheels. The price of this fine performer comes to around $25,340 on the market today, and considering all the positive elements of the BMW E90 M3 DCT, it represents a low-cost investment.
