Near the end of E90 M3 production, BMW introduced a US market exclusive special edition known as the Lime Rock Park Edition. Named for the Lime Rock Park, which is a race track in Connecticut, the Lime Rock Park Edition was only offered in the coupe body style that featured all of the improvements from the Competition Package, but with an improved exhaust and minor weight-saving measures. Notably, these special editions were only available with the Fire Orange exterior color and a black interior. Just 200 examples of the BMW M3 Lime Rock Park Edition were built for the 2013 model year, with 128 examples fitted with a 7 speed dual-clutch automatic and 72 examples fitted with a 6 speed manual transmission.
