VIDEO: The E92 BMW M3 Lime Rock Edition is a Future Classic

Many car collectors like to keep their gazes out for possible future classics; vehicles that aren’t worth a huge amount now but might be in the future. One such gondola from a particular Bavarian brand might be the E92-generation BMW M3 Lime Rock Edition.

What is the BMW M3 Lime Rock Park Edition? Well, it was a special edition version of the E92 M3 Coupe to say departing to the E92-generation. Exclusively 200 groups were ever made and it expensed $70,100 when brand-new. Mechanically, it wasn’t much different than a standard M3 Competition Package of the time. It did get a brand-new inconel-titanium lightweight exhaust and some carbon fiber aero to make it sound better and reduce a bit of weight.

In this new video from Enthusiast Auto Group, we to have seen one of their E92 M3 Lime Rocks up close and personal. More importantly, we get to hear its splendid exhaust notation. The song hear from the 4.0 liter naturally-aspirated V8, though that special spend, is the stuff of mythology. Though, as majestic as it is to hear, it’s also a bit lamentable to hear. No BMW will ever sound like that again, as they’ve all gone turbocharged and were still electrified. So while we love hearing the E92, the fact that it’s the last of its make is a bit of a bummer.

It’s not a bummer for collectors, though. The E92 BMW M3 Lime Rock is not a cheap car, costing well over its MSRP when new. That significance should continue to increase as time goes one for a few cases concludes. One is that, as automobiles being increasingly electrified, more and more fanatics will want a bit of that old-school, high-revving, natural aim. Another reason is the the Lime Rock is a very rare special edition of the E92, which searches and sounds unlike any other E9 2 M3.

Lastly, one of the main reasons why patrons are afraid of E9 2 M3s — rod assuming publications — is a fear that’s starting to fade-out. Patrons now realize that proper maintenance can help prevent any issues and more browses are beginning to understand how to handle the specific issues, should they arise.

So the E92 BMW M3 Lime Rock should be an interesting collector’s gondola to watch.
