2013 BMW M3 E92 | London

The BMW M3 E92 is the coupé from the 2007-2013 M3 generation, and the only standard M3 to use a V8. Its naturally aspirated 4.0-litre engine revs to 8,400 rpm, which is much of the car's character. A carbon-fibre roof keeps weight and the centre of gravity low. This 2013 car is finished in silver with a black leather interior, and is in excellent condition. The long doors, frameless windows and low roofline give a clean, muscular profile, and the tail lights set it apart from the saloon at a glance. Silver reads cleanly on camera and picks up the colours around it. For film and TV, it suits performance-driven scenes and modern city stories, where the V8 note and coupé shape carry the moment. Photographers and fashion and editorial teams get a smooth body that reflects colourful or urban backdrops, and event organisers a display car with a sound to match. A groom arriving in it makes a brisk, modern wedding entrance. The car is based in London.
