A 2021 BMW M3 finished in Sao Paulo Yellow and equipped with a six-speed manual transmission is being offered for sale, bringing a rare three-pedal example of the current-generation performance saloon to the market. The car was purchased new by its seller from South Motors BMW of Miami, Florida, and has covered just 6,000 miles, all of them under current ownership.
The G80-generation M3 is specified with the Executive, Parking Assistance and M Carbon Exterior packages, along with heated M Carbon bucket front seats and carbon-fibre interior trim. Its window sticker lists a total suggested retail price of $85,545 and confirms initial delivery to the Florida dealership. The car is offered with a window sticker, owner’s manuals, a clean Carfax report showing no accidents or damage, and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.
Under the bonnet sits BMW’s twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre S58B30 inline-six, which features variable valve control with high-precision direct injection and was factory rated at 473 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through the six-speed manual gearbox and an M Sport limited-slip differential. The manual transmission is a significant draw for enthusiasts, as it sets this car apart from the majority of M3s specified with an automatic.
The exterior is finished in Sao Paulo Yellow (C4H) and includes a carbon-fibre roof panel, Icon adaptive LED headlights with Laserlight, a carbon-fibre rear spoiler and carbon-fibre exhaust finishers. The listing notes blemishes visible on the roof panel. The car rides on staggered-diameter Style 826M alloy wheels mounted with Pirelli P Zero tyres, while braking is handled by cross-drilled and ventilated discs at each corner. An adaptive M suspension is also fitted.
Inside, the heated M Carbon bucket front seats are trimmed in Black extended Merino leather (LKSW), with carbon-fibre accents across the cabin. Additional equipment includes multi-zone automatic climate control, a Harman Kardon sound system and iDrive infotainment with navigation. A heated leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel sits ahead of a 12.3-inch configurable Live Cockpit Pro gauge cluster, and the digital odometer reads 6,000 miles.
The car also features Park Distance Control parking sensors and a surround-view camera system, both supported by the Parking Assistance package. The combination of low mileage, a manual gearbox and a high specification makes this M3 a notable offering among modern performance saloons, where automatic transmissions dominate and manual options are increasingly scarce.
