This single M Coupe photo was posted on deviantart.com by lo-Que. There are no details posted about the Coupe. Based upon the chrome trim ringed headlights, and chrome trimmed kidney grille slats this is a 2000+ M Coupe. It could be either and S50 of S54, but without seeing the engine bay, gauges, or M badges, there isn’t a good way to identify it. Mods include suspension, Recaro seats, BBS LM wheels, AC Schnitzer splitters, and an AC Schnitzer Type II roof spoiler.

2002 M Coupe | Estoril Blue | Estoril/Black

This M Coupe was posted in an article written for insideline.com by Ben Barry about the smaller M cars, including the 2002 Turbo, E30 M3, M Coupe, Z4 M Coupe, and the new 1 Series M Coupe. I think it’s pretty lame that BMW polluted the M Coupe name with a non-Z car. While I can appreciate the design of the 1 Series M Coupe, the name is not consistent with other BMW M cars. If an M3 were called a “3 series M Coupe”, it would be a different story. But, I digress. This all stock M Coupe appears to have been very well cared for, with no visible flaws in the photos posted. It looks like the rear view mirror was swapped out for a non-auto dimming model from an S50 model. It’s odd to see a C33 Business Radio installed, when the Cd43 Business CD player was standard beginning is 2000.


Below is the portion of the article discussing the M Coupe:

2000 M Coupe | Estoril Blue | Dark Oregon Beige

2000 M Coupe | Estoril Blue | Dark Oregon Beige | WBSCM9344YLC62226 | Salvage Title

 

This M Coupe (VIN: WBSCM9344YLC62226) is listed for sale on outbackautosalesinc.com of Chicago, IL with 71k miles for $14,500. This Coupe was in a front end collision in March of this year that caused the insurance company to total it (photos of the damage at the bottom of this post). It was sold at auction in Jackson, MS with an opening bid of $5,300. The damage from the accident wasn’t all that extensive, which given the fairly low mileage, it seems odd that it was totaled. Just the same, now that it has a salvage title, the price does seem a bit high. I’m pretty curious what it sold for at auction. If anybody has a way to check, please post in the comments or email me. I assume the dealer purchased it themselves at auction and had the hood repaired, a new bumper,  along with new headlights, and they purchased the ugly eBay kidney grilles. They should have ponied up the few bucks and purchased the OEM parts, along with new M badges all around, and refinish the wheels. The hood still looks a bit tweaked with the drivers side touching the headlight, while the passengers side has too wide of a gap, yet the gap to the quarter panels looks correct. I think for $12-$13k somebody could buy this, finish the repairs and have a nice looking Coupe.
