2013 BMW M3 Limited Edition 500 S-A 4.0L Petrol · RT61 SAW

Running this 3999cc BMW M3 will be significantly more expensive than a standard hatchback. Expect high fuel consumption consistent with a large-capacity petrol engine, and insurance groups for this model are typically very high due to its performance profile.

Maintenance costs for the M3 series can be substantial, particularly regarding tyres, brakes, and specialized components. While the low mileage may reduce the frequency of wear-and-tear replacements, the cost of parts and specialist labour remains a key consideration for your annual budget.

While the most recent MOT in June 2026 showed no defects, you should specifically inspect the vehicle for signs of fluid leaks, which can be common in high-performance engines that sit idle. Pay close attention to the condition of the tyres; at 34,607 miles, they may have plenty of tread but could be aged if not replaced regularly.

Review the 2025 MOT failure carefully to see if it was related to emissions or mechanical components. Additionally, inspect the white paintwork and any limited edition specific trim for signs of stone chips or minor damage that may have occurred during low-speed use.
