The E90/E92/E93 (E90=sedan, E92=coupe, and E93=convertible) generation of the BMW M3 was produced from 2007 through 2013, and body styles included a sedan, convertible, and coupe. During its development, BMW's Motorsport department felt it necessary to increase the power output over the outgoing E46 model, while keeping weight at a minimum. A new aluminum V-8 engine was created with a displacement of four liters and horsepower exceeding 410 hp. This was the first and only standard production M3 generation to be powered by a V8 engine as its successor used a straight 6 engine. ![2013 BMW M3 Lime Rock Park Edition photo](../images/filler.png)
