1998 M Coupe | Imola Red | Imola/Black | Race Car | Track
 
This M Coupe was posted on racecarsdirect.com in Bristol, UK by dougw for £18,000 (~$27,981 USD). It looks like a nicely prepped track Coupe, and would likely save the buyer a lot of money from doing the same modifications themselves. Mods include:

1999 M Coupe | Imola Red | Imola/Black

Last month I posted this Coupe owned by Topgeartom of cliosport.com. He’s back with some updated photos highlighting his recent detailing efforts, and removal of the chrome door handle covers. Looking back at the photos before his purchase, I think his hard work is paying off nicely. He mentioned using Stain Valet to clean up the M stitching on the steering wheel. I’m not familiar with Stain Valet, but I’m impressed with the results. I’ve seen a lot of dingy steering wheels from regular use, where the stitching looks faded or even brown. This steering wheel on the other hand, looks pristine. Keep up the good work, Tom!

This M Coupe was posted on cliosport.net by Topgeartom. It seems to be this one I posted recently, given the M badges on the C pillars and the same plates. The new owner has already gotten to work on it, removing the oddly placed M badges, adding a Simota carbon fiber intake and an S2000 antenna. It already seemed like a well cared for Coupe, and Tom in certainly taking it to the next level. Hopefully there will be more photos from him soon.

S50B32 M Coupe | Imola Red | Black

S50B32 M Coupe | Imola Red | Black | E90 3 Series Style 199 Wheels

 

I stumbled across this M Coupe posted on bmwz3club.fr. What caught my attention was the stance, but more so the wheels. They appeared to be OE BMW wheels, but I had never seen them on a Z3 or M Coupe before. I skimmed through my go-to OE BMW wheel gallery, FelgenKatalog, to find Style 199 wheels from an E90 3 Series. They are 19″x8″ ET37, 19″x9″ ET39. I’m a big fan of 5 spoke wheels, so it’s no surprise that these caught my eye. The fronts should fit fine without a spacer, but the rears would need one to make them flush. The fronts weigh about 28 lbs, and the rears 29lbs, which is substantially heavier than Roadstars which are 21 lbs front, and 24 lbs rear. Although, at 19″, additional weight is to be expected.

This M Coupe was posted for sale on pistonheads.com by John Booker of East Yorkshire, UK with 96k miles for £10,950 (~$17,282 USD). It’s a clean looking Coupe, but has a few changes that may not appeal to all buyers. The owner has added curved M badges from S54 M Coupes to the C pillars on both sides, chrome door handle covers, and a chrome shifter. The chrome isn’t that uncommon, but I have never seen M badges on the C pillars. Quite odd. Additional mods include: leather covered armrest, magnetic stone guards, ProjectorZ II headlights, and chrome trimmed kidney slats from 2000+ Coupes. Fortunately all of the changes are easily reversible to stock.
