This M Coupe was spotted by spn unit of autogespot.com in Breda, Netherlands. Initially I thought it was a Z3 Coupe with M side grilles, and mirrors added. However, looking at the rear, it has factory M dual exhaust, with an M bumper. Fitting the stock M dual exhaust to a Z3 Coupe would not be worth the effort, so it seems unlikely that it is a Z3 Coupe in M Coupe “clothing”. More likely than not, the owner has swapped a Z3 front bumper on, in favor of the M front bumper. I’ve heard it argued that the Z3 front bumper has more aero functionality than the M front bumper. I personally prefer the M bumper, but to each their own. Given the curved M badges, chrome trim ringed headlights, and chrome trimmed kideny grille slats, I believe this is an 01 or 02 M Coupe with an S54 under the hood. In the second photo, you can just see what looks like Dark Gray bolsters on the seats. It’s odd to see a set of Style 32 wheels fitted to an M Coupe. It’s not a terrible look by any means, but I think Roadstars look much better. Again, to each their own.
