Seller Description

This 2001 BMW M Coupe is finished in Titanium Silver Metallic over gray and black and is powered by a 3.2-liter S54 inline-six paired with a five-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes a limited-slip differential, heated and power-adjustable sport seats, air conditioning, and a Harman/Kardon audio system. The car was acquired in Colorado by the seller in August 2020, and subsequent service consisted of adjusting the valves, replacing the tires, and installing Bilstein shocks. This E36/8 M Coupe has 45k miles and is offered with service records, a valet-style key, a sunshade, a clean Carfax report, and a Florida title.

The M Coupe was distinguished from the standard Z3 by a revised front bumper cover, fender gills, and quad exhaust tips. The car is finished in Titanium Silver Metallic (354) and is reportedly one of just two examples produced without a sunroof in this color combination for the 2001 model year. The seller notes that VIN tags on the driver-side front fender and door are missing.

Staggered-width 17″ Style 40 wheels wear Continental ExtremeContact tires installed under current ownership. Rouge Engineering shock mounts are installed at the rear as well as Bilstein shocks at all four corners.

The cabin features heated sport seats trimmed in Dark Grey and Black Nappa leather (Q61M), along with a matching dashboard, door panels, and center console. Factory equipment includes a CD stereo, a Harman/Kardon audio system, air conditioning, heated seats, and power windows and locks. Whalen Shift Machine seat bushings and a Thayer Motorsports seat-tilt kit have been added, and the seller recently replaced the material for the headliner and window pillars. The passenger-side door lock tumbler requires replacement, and wear is noted on portions of the interior trim.

Instrumentation consists of a 170-mph speedometer and a 9k-rpm tachometer, along with gauges monitoring coolant temperature and fuel level. Auxiliary gauges are mounted in the center stack, and the digital odometer indicates just over 45k miles. Approximately 1,300 miles were added by the seller.

The 3.2-liter S54 inline-six is equipped with individual throttle bodies and was factory-rated at 315 horsepower and 251 lb-ft of torque. Service completed within the last 1k miles included a valve adjustment and replacement of the hood struts and windshield washer pump. The seller notes a rough idle upon startup after extended periods of sitting.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a ZF five-speed manual transmission and a factory limited-slip differential.

The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage, lists at least one open recall, and shows history in Pennsylvania, Florida, Texas, Washington, Montana, and Colorado. There is currently a lien on the vehicle, and the seller’s lender will need to be paid off before the title can be transferred to the next owner.

Sold to a high bid of $45,410 or $47,680.50 with buyer fee. Timing is everything.

Sad to see my most recent Project Coupe on the market again just a few months later. It sounds like it has new tires, Bilsteins, and a valve adjustment since then along with about 1k new miles. Bidding is already up to $45,160 which is more than I was asking a couple months ago.
