FAQ

This BMW M3 in the European market

How this car sits against the other BMW M3 advertised in Europe on 2026, and what to settle before a cross-border purchase.

Is this BMW M3 priced above or below the European market?

At €79,900, it sits above the median of €65,535 for the 5 BMW M3 advertised in Europe in 2026. 60% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread. See the listings

Can this BMW M3 be bought in Germany and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Nuremberg, Germany. The dealer has not stated whether the price is quoted gross, net of VAT for export, or under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How much did this BMW M3 cost new?

The manufacturer's base list price was €30,576 in 1987 in Germany, excluding options. That is approximately €62,000 in today's purchasing power, and the comparison below is made against that equivalent rather than against the original figure converted at today's exchange rate, which would mostly measure inflation. This car is advertised at €79,900, 29% above that figure. A list price is the launch price of the version without options, so a heavily specified car left the factory above it, and it says nothing about what the car is worth today.

How does the mileage of this BMW M3 compare?

86,500 km recorded, against a median of 79,600 km across the BMW M3 advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the higher-mileage cars currently listed. Service history and previous owners are not published on LUSSO and should be confirmed with the selling dealer.

Which other BMW M3 are priced closest to this one?

a 2015 car in Czechia at €65,535, and a 1987 car in Germany at €94,900. Observed in 2026. Comparing them means putting model year, mileage, factory options and the VAT basis side by side before the price itself. See the listings

Who is selling this BMW M3, and how does a purchase work?

Auto Zitzmann GmbH, a professional dealer in Nuremberg, Germany. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this BMW M3 be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Nuremberg, Germany, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history: LUSSO does not publish these and cannot confirm them.
