Offered here is a rare and sporty German-engineered beauty. The
M Coupe was only in production for five years (1998 to 2002) and
was intentionally designed to give the popular Z3 Roadster more
stability and performance. In those five years, only 3,310 cars
were built. In 2000, just 1,162 were manufactured. The low
production numbers combined with some stellar M Power performance,
makes this car extremely cool and increasingly collectible.
This 2000 BMW M Coupe example is originally from Texas, remains
rust-free, and is a BLAST to drive. The car has never been tracked,
although, it would provide awesome corner-hugging lap times. Under
the bonnet, the S52 3.2L/240hp I6 engine, the same engine in the
E36 M3’s at the time, gives it plenty of power. Mated to a 5-speed
gearbox with rear-wheel drive and you have one incredible little
monster. From the front, it looks like your standard Z3, but as you
move around the to rear, you quickly realize that it’s built for
performance. The celebrated “M” badge might be a give away too.
The car is finished in factory Titanium Silver Metallic over a Dark
Gray/Black Nappa leather interior. Noteworthy features include the
factory wheels, quad tip exhaust, sunroof, power/heated seats,
harmon/kardon stereo system, passenger and side airbags, AC, cruise
control, heated windscreen washer nozzles, limited slip
differential, sport seats, and M leather steering wheel. Some
tasteful aftermarket features include tinted windows, rear quarter
rock guards, and an aftermarket stereo with Aux input.
Within the past year, the car has been serviced with new Koni
Yellow Shocks w/ Rogue engineering shock mounts, new valve cover
gasket, radiator hoses, belts/pulleys, water pump, fan and fan
clutch. The car runs strong, shifts smooth, clutch grabs low, all
control arms and tire rods are tight and have intact boots, and it
leaks zero oil. Factory wheels are wrapped in Michelin Pilot all
seasons with abundant tread left.
Be sure to check out all the photos on our website and the
walk-around video – the car sounds great! Call or e-mail if
interested, or to make a reasonable offer. Thank you for
looking.
