PLEASE CALL FOR QUESTIONS, TEST DRIVES OR MECHANICAL INSPECTIONS

THE BODY AND TRIM
As I hope is articulated in the many photos here, the body and trim of this 1999 BMW are in VERY GOOD to EXCELLENT original condition overall! There are a few expected light blemishes and scratches befitting a low-mileage example as this. There is some light curb rash on two of the wheels which all have excellent Continental tires.

THE INTERIOR
The interior of this M COUPE is in EXCELLENT CONDITION overall. There is some light wear on the side panel of the drivers seat, a barely noticeable 1/2"crack in the center console plastic, the airbag light is on [driver side lower seat buckle]. All gauges and controls including blinkers, lights, COLD A/C and stereo work as they should. This is a very nice cockpit!

THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This 1999 M COUPE starts, runs and drives very well! The engine has excellent power with excellent willing free-revving M-powered accelleration [i believ the 0-60 time is 5.4 seconds], the transmission up and downshifts perfectly and the steering is very tight and responsive. The braking is strong and straight with excellent pedal feel and the stock suspension is very tight free of any clunks or rattles. This one VERY FUN AND SUPERBLY SATISFYING CAR TO DRIVE!

I heard this coupe sold for just $12,500 back in May. It looks to be in quite a bit better condition now. It's interesting that it's listed in both the bay area and LA with different contacts and photos. I'm almost positive it's the same coupe though. The price is probably a little optimistic for the mileage and color combo.
