This 1999 BMW M Coupe was purchased in 2002 by the seller, who subsequently added 26k of the 41k miles it now has. The car is finished in Cosmos Black Metallic over black Nappa leather and powered by a 3.2-liter S52 inline-six coupled to a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Features include a Harman-Kardon audio system, power glass sunroof, power windows, and heated and power-adjustable sport seats. Recent service included refinishing the wheels and replacing the tires and battery. This E36/8 M Coupe is now offered with a window sticker, factory literature, accessories, a clean Carfax, and a clean Texas title showing joint ownership between the seller and his wife.
The car is finished in Cosmos Black Metallic (303) and is equipped with a glass sunroof. The left-rear quarter panel and rear bumper cover were repainted due to damage said to have been caused under previous ownership, and the hood was repainted by the seller to correct stone chips. Photos showing an included front-end cover, a fitted car cover, and VIN-stamped stickers are provided in the gallery below.
All four factory 17″ Style 40 RoadStar wheels were refinished by the seller to correct curb rash said to have been caused by the previous owner, and wear Cooper RS3-G1 tires, which the seller states were installed less than 1k miles ago. Replacement BMW center caps were also fitted.
The interior is trimmed in black Nappa leather with a matching dashboard, carpets, and door panels. Amenities include air conditioning, a power glass sunroof, power-adjustable and heated front seats, and Harman-Kardon audio system with a cassette player. The lighted shift knob is said to work intermittently.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames chrome-ringed gauges including a 160-mph speedometer and an 8k-rpm tachometer with an M Coupe insignia. The digital odometer reads 41k miles, 26k of which were added by the seller. Stickiness is noted from the steering wheel airbag cover during hot weather.
The 3.2-liter S52 inline-six produced 240 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque from the factory. Service in 2015 at 39k miles consisting of replacement of the front shock bump stops, power steering hoses, the VANOS feed line, and fluids and filters. The battery was replaced in July 2020.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a ZF five-speed manual transmission and limited-slip differential. Additional underside photos are available in the gallery below.
The window sticker lists initial delivery to Prestige BMW in North Little Rock, Arkansas, colors and equipment, and a total suggested retail price of $42,670.
A Bentley service manual, factory literature, two keys, a fitted car cover, and a front-end cover are included in the sale, along with service records and receipts from new and an owner-maintained service log.
The June 2020 Carfax shows no accidents or damage and lists history in Arkansas and Texas from two registered owners through its most recent entry in November 2019. The seller states that the Carfax reported purchase date of 2007 is erroneous, and documentation of purchase in 2002 is included in the sale.
