1 of 8 US Market Individual Santorini Blue Over Black/Silver Extended Leather, 7-Speed DCT Car with Two Owners From New and Showing 18,600 Miles.
Saying that a color makes all the difference when it comes to picking out a car sounds silly and even a bit reductive- but these days, it couldn’t be more valid. For whatever reason, consumers have been moving away from choosing exciting, interesting colors, instead, populating the roads with boring black, white, and grey cars. Sometimes even seeing a boring car in an unusual or new color makes you take a second look, so imagine what a great color does to a great car.
EAG has completed its Inspection and will be performing several services to ensure this arrives to its next enthusiast completely turn-key.

If you’re looking for that combination of great car and great color, look no further. This 2013 BMW E92 M3 is finished in an absolutely unbelievable shade of blue, known to BMW enthusiasts as “Santorini Blue.” Showing just 18,600 miles at the time of cataloging, it is believed that this car is 1 of 8 BMW Individual E92 M3s finished in Santorini Blue and has been under the care of just two owners from new. First sold through Flemington BMW in Flemington, New Jersey, the car remained in the Northeast under its first owner, until selling to its second owner in San Antonio, TX in 2021. In addition to the stunning Individual color, this M3 was equipped with the desirable Competition Package as well, meaning that it sits on a set of lightweight 19” Y-Spoke wheels.
Although the interior isn’t quite as unique as the outside of the car, it does feature what may be the rarest standard factory interior option, two-tone black and silver extended leather. With this package, black leather covers the outer sections of the seats, center console, lower dash and door toppers, while the silver leather is in the seat centers, and the main color on the door panels. This adds some nice visual interest to what can be a somewhat drab interior, and looks great when paired with the carbon leather trim that is a hallmark feature of the E9X generation M3.
Under the hood is a 4.0-liter V8, known to BMW enthusiasts as the S65. Generating 414 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, this engine will happily spin to 8,400 rpm, while delivering ample power across the rev range. Paired with this V8 is a quick-shifting 7-speed Dual Clutch Transmission, featuring paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel. This transmission meshes perfectly with the responsive engine, offering precise shifts during spirited driving, while also offering the convenience of two-pedal driving in traffic.
At EAG, we do our best to only bring the best, most interesting cars to market, but sometimes there are just some cars we need to work a bit harder to sell. This Santorini Blue E92 M3 is not one of those cars. This color has a presence like no other, and if you come look at this car in person, it will be all but impossible to not fall in love.
