One of the most beloved enthusiast cars, BMW’s original M Coupe is based on the Z3 and includes a fixed roof for improved chassis rigidity as well as the venerable S52 inline-six engine, brakes from the E36 M3, an upgraded suspension, and more aggressive bodywork. This 2000 example comes finished in Imola Red over a matching interior and features an upgraded Ground Control coilover kit, a Koyo radiator, a Supersprint exhaust, Powerflex suspension bushings, and more. This modern classic is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Utah while showing under 25k miles on the odometer.
This M Coupe comes finished in Imola Red and features black Shadowline trim, M-badged fender vents, M-specific bumper covers, rounded aero mirrors, and quad exhaust outlets. This M Coupe is one of 355 S52-equipped examples to have come finished in Imola Red an rides factory silver-finished 17” Style 40 “Roadstar” wheels dressed in tires dated from 2014/2016. Noted imperfections include some chips on the front end, detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The cabin is trimmed in Black and Imola Red Nappa leather and includes power-adjustable and heated sport seats, a M leather-wrapped steering wheel, and M-specific instrument dials. The sound system has been upgraded with Focal speakers and an Alpine CD-HD149BT head unit. Factory accessories include climate control, cruise control, power accessories, and a Harman/Kardon sound system.
This M Coupe is powered by a 3.2-liter S52 inline-six engine borrowed from the E36 M3, which produces up to 240 HP and 236 lb.-ft of torque. The rear wheels are driven by a ZF 5-speed manual transmission and mechanical limited-slip differential, allowing acceleration from 0-60 MPH in approximately 5 seconds. Modifications include an upgraded Stewart water pump, Koyo radiator, SPAL cooling fan, and ECS Tuning silicone coolant hoses as well as a Supersprint exhaust system, Ground Control coilover kit, and Powerflex bushings. The CARFAX report shows a rear cross member and lower control arm(s) replaced along with an alignment in 2019 as well as an oil change and brake fluid flush in 2021 and an emissions inspection passed in April 2022.
This sale will include a clean title.

Sold for $40,000
$40,000 offer from Landenberg, PA (19350)
That final bid was a very fair offer, imo. I sold one similar to this one for $36k locally. That last bid represents a buyers cost of $41k plus shipping. So they’d be in it $45k once it’s all said and done… $45k is s54 territory. Seller shoulda taken the money and moved on. These are getting softer by the month.
Nope, got less run than C&B. At some point, seller will need to acknowledge what the market is on this car. How many more auctions coming in at the same or lower price will it take?

@ntkmotorcollector the car has all original paint, paint mirror might have not been calibrated right, but when we do this, we look for consistency and the entire car has consistent paint all around which is a good sign
Will be interesting to see if this gets more run here then it did recently on C&B.

@Spazaz88 i’ve been trying to get a hold of the P car to have them correct the listing, the car has original paint and it is Imola Red. I will upload the paint meter photos here shortly.
Second paragraph states finished in Titanium Silver. Was the car ever resprayed or just a typo?

Imola over black/imola with sunroof delete? This has got to be the perfectly spec’d clown shoe. I’m intrigued where this will land.. I’ll have to remember two months from now to come back. Glws!
@mkiv94tt Thank you for pointing that out! Paint meter was done for all panels, they must have not been uploaded. We’ll have them uploaded here shortly.
Any particular reason why you have only 1 picture with 1 panel paint depth measurement and not all of the others?
Curious to see where this goes in 55 days as well.
55 day auction - should be interesting!
