1998 M Coupe | Imola Red | Imola/Black

1998 M Coupe | Imola Red | Imola/Black | Widebody Custom M Coupe

 

I stumbled across this M Coupe was posted on elgarajetuning.com. This is the most over-the-top Coupe I’ve seen to date — more so than this one. To some extent, I can appreciate the uniqueness and work that has gone into it. For what it is, it seems to be well executed. On the other hand, it looks like an otherwise stock M Coupe was stung by a bee, or something you might find in Disney’s Cars. I dunno. Nobody can argue that it’s not unique. It seems quite unlikely to be duplicated. An amazing amount of work went into widening the Coupe by 10″ on each side with new fenders, side skirts, widened bumpers along with huge front splitters. The front  & rear bumpers, side skirts, and front & rear fenders have all been molded together. The hatch was completely smoothed, and a massive hatch spoiler was molded on. The interior hasn’t been ignored either. Paint matched bits are found throughout, a massive tachometer, gauges on the dash (although the engine bay appears to be all stock), and a consistently over-the-top audio setup has been installed. The entire hatch has been replaced with a custom built box with a boatload of subwoofers and a matching amp. 4 point harnesses have been added, but no roll cage. It also looks like the lenses have been removed from the headlights – an odd move, but not all too surprising, I suppose, considering the rest of the Coupe. An interesting Coupe, indeed.

1999 M Coupe | Imola Red | Imola/Black

These fantastic M Coupe photos were taken, and posted by Greg Valinoti on flickr.com. They were shot back in September of 2008, and have made the rounds ever since then. I have seen them a number of places, but never with a source given. Today with some quick searching, I finally found them on Flickr. The M Coupe appears to be a 1999, based upon the non-chrome trim ringed headlights, non-chrome trimmed kidney grille slats, and what looks like flat M badges. I’m curious how the M Coupe fared after the front right wheel decided horizontal was better than vertical? Anybody here happen to know more about this Coupe and/or it’s owner?

Patriotic M Coupes

Patriotic M Coupes | American Flag | Red, White, and Blue

 

This photo was posted on bimmerforums.com by Coupe Dejour. The red, white and blue M Coupes are perfect for Independence Day — not to mention that it’s a great photo. All 3 M Coupes in the shot appear to be S52s, given the flat M badges.

 

To all the US readers out there, have a safe and fun 4th!

1999 M Coupe | Imola Red | Imola/Black

1999 M Coupe | Imola Red | Imola/Black | Kinesis K59

 

This M Coupe was posted by on 368s.com by Hipendicular. There were 80 Imola/Imola M Coupes in 1999, only 9 of which were sold without a sunroof. My favorite part of this M Coupe are the Kinesis K59 19×8 19×10.5 wheels. It has quite a few other mods as well, including a UUC front BBK, blacked out taillights, double DIN Kenwood DDX7015 stereo (installed for navigation), deleted M gauges and lowered A/C dials to accomodate the double DIN stereo. The stereo drives a JL 6W0 subwoofer in the stock box, and MB Quart speakers. The Coupe rides on Konis S/As and H&R sport springs. The engine bay is fitted with a Strong Strut bar. An AC Schnitzer Sport steering wheel, and the steering column has been lowered.

This M Coupe was posted on flickr.com by petehansenphotos. I noticed in the comments that Lindy Leigh mentioned the Coupe was his. Looking at his profile I found the last two photos posted below. Based upon the flat M badges, non-chrome trim ringed headlights, and non-chrome trimmed kidney grille slats this is a 1999 with an S52 under the hood. The Coupe is fitted with a set of Diamond Black BBS RGR LM Thanks, Brad! wheels, and aftermarket suspension.
