I randomly stumbled across this Coupe posted on bimmerfest.com by Kurt Martin. In the thread he linked to his gallery with more photos of this interesting car bra. He was approached by a company called SpeedLingerie to use his M Coupe as the basis for an M Coupe car bra. The bra is color matched, and accommodates all vents, lights, and emblems – it’s a pretty slick design. But, this comes at a price — the M Coupe SpeedLingerie is offered at $559.99. Not a low cost for something that most people would likely only use for long roads trips, or maybe track events.
There were only 3 Phoenix Yellow over Gray/Black M Coupes sold, with 2 of them being 2001 model years. One of the 2001s has a sunroof, the other does not. You can see in the first photo that this M Coupe has a sunroof, so it is VIN: WBSCN93461LK60056. I Googled the VIN, and located this thread on roadfly.com where Kurt discusses buying the Coupe new from BMW. Pretty cool to be the first owner of such a unique Coupe!

/ October 16, 2011The Bra makes it looks Dakar, it took me awhile to convince myself this actually was Phoenix Yellow.

/ October 17, 2011Yeah, it does look more Dakar than Phoenix Yellow in some of the photos. It’s PY for sure, though.
