This 2001 BMW M Coupe was recently purchased from the original owner. It is equipped with the S54 inline six, which was also featured in the E46 M3, and has 28k Carfax-verified miles from new. Mechanically stock and sporting original Black Sapphire Metallic paint verified by multiple thickness meters, this example remains standard apart from a Hamann rear spoiler mounted low on the hatch, Rouge rear strut mounts, Bilstein shocks front and rear, and a Strong strut bar. All VIN tags are in place and the car has no accident history and carries a clean Carfax report.
The seller has been over the car with three different paint meters and can verify that the paintwork remains original throughout. This car has been garaged its whole life and per the seller there are no notable flaws in the paint.
The rear spoiler is a period Hamann item, and is a seldom seen modification to the basic hatchback shape. The deeply dished wheels have a healthy original finish, and the seller notes there is no curb rash.
The Black Nappa Leather interior retains all of its original equipment, including the factory stereo headunit and the cool 3-gauge auxiliary panel fitted to the M cars.
Leather upholstery is said to remain in good condition, and shows minimal wear even considering the low mileage. Carpets and plastics are likewise very clean.
The engine and driveline remain stock, but other performance modifications are a Strong strut tower bar, Rouge rear strut mounts and Bilsteins front and rear. The seller has recently serviced the car with an engine oil and filter change, new transmission gear oil, new differential fluid, a coolant flush and brake fluid flush.
Factory VIN tags remain affixed throughout, and the seller notes that the undercarriage is very clean.
Factory books, window sticker, and some service records are included. This car is optioned with a power glass roof panel and BMW CD radio as shown above. Per the seller all maintenance is up to date, and the car is turn-key and ready for its next owner.
The Carfax shows the car was driven regularly from new through approximately 2006, when the rate of mileage increase fell off dramatically. The car was garaged and reportedly received annual oil and filter changes during that time.
