I stumbled across an article published in the automobile section of The New York Times October 11, 1998. It’s pretty cool to take a step back read and about the M Coupe in the early days of the it’s life.
A couple of my favorite lines from the article:
Only the fastest car BMW has ever sold in the United States…
BMW says the M Coupe is ”eigenwillig,” German for ”determinedly going its own way.” After all, if you create a monster, why keep it on a leash?

This M Coupe was posted for sale on trackscotland.co.uk by Colin with 78,327 miles for £11,000 (~$17,753 USD). The seller lists it as a 2001, but under the hood is an S50 (98-00), along with Hyper Silver Roadstars (98-00), and flat M badges all around (98-00). It does have chrome trim ringed headlights and chrome trimmed kidney grille slats which started in 2000. That said, I suspect the 2001 in the title is just a typo and this is a 2000 M Coupe. The sunroof delete Coupe appears to be all stock.

This photo was posted by BFM01 on bimmerforums.com of his 2001 Black Sapphire over Black Nappa M Coupe adjacent to a Ferrari FF. I’ve posted photos before of an M Coupe compared to an FF, but this is a different angle than those, and a better photo I might add. David took delivery of his M Coupe in March from Enthusiast Auto, and has been very pleased thus far. His pristine, 25k mile Coupe appears to be all stock, aside from the UUC RK6-A shift knob and smoked corner markers. Thanks for taking and sharing the photo, David!

This Z3 Coupe was posted on bmwz3club.fr by E Type of Vaires sur Marne, France. He is the third owner of the 67,000 km Coupe. This Coupe has two fairly uncommon interior options, Chrome Line trim, and Dream Red leather. They look great in combination together, especially with the 2001-2002 M54 center console. The sunroof delete and complimentary Titanium Silver paint job are the icing on the cake. A very nice looking combo! It appears to be all stock.

This M Coupe was posted on z3mcoupe.com by Foreign Andy of Monza, Italy. He purchased the Coupe from pistonheads.com, which I had posted in January of 2011. It’s a very nice looking, all stock Coupe, with only 28,000 miles! He was originally looking to buy an Estoril Coupe, but found this LSB Coupe and is glad he did. Good choice, Andy!

I initially had this designed, and cut for myself two years ago. Several people wanted one as well, so I ordered some up. Recently a few people wanted one as well, so I’ve ordered up another batch. If you’d like one, place an order here.
