Assisting a friend sell his original owner, California always garaged, totally pampered and judiciously maintained 2002 BMW MCoupe. He totally has enjoyed it, commuting daily to work, participated in autocross events for about 10 yrs with much enthusiasm. Car has been exclusively serviced at Motorsports Techniques in Hayward, CA. with services performed much earlier that BMW suggested. Car has been selectively modified to enhance the driving experience by the owner and also to be more performance oriented on the autocross course. Spare parts included with the car include: extra set of SSR Competition wheels, new ignition coil, new window regulator, new electric engine fan. Rear luggage area does not have the flooring/carpet, or any side storage compartments (the installed harness bar required removal of those items).

The car is garaged at my home in Livermore, CA at the present time. I will do my best to answer any questions, provide needed pics, contact owner for other info if available. Unfortunately, the owner did not keep receipts or records of the service or modifications performed on the car.
FWIW, I've been a longtime SCCA and BMWCCA member, and have known the owner of this car 20+ years, and attest to the love he has for the car, and the efforts in maintaining it's performance. I've driven the MCoupe around the past few weeks, and really marvel at how well it handles, and the 315+ enhanced HP certainly pulls hard and smooth. Jumping from my M2 to this little MCoupe is quite a contrast, and I admit I've become a bit soft in the performance area, but that little car is still pretty exciting.
Hope the pics I post do it some justice, there are a few dings, but body is quite straight, some road rash on the front end from years of highway commute, but still a beautiful body and very solid. Thank you for listening!
