This 2001 BMW M Coupe is said to have been purchased new by the current owner from John Roberts BMW in Dallas, Texas, and it now shows just 21k miles. Finished in Black Sapphire Metallic over a black Nappa leather interior, the car is one of 678 US-spec examples powered by a 3.2-liter S54 inline-six. Shifting is through a five-speed manual transmission, and additional equipment includes a limited-slip differential, 17″ Style 40 wheels, a sunroof, and Harman Kardon audio. This M Coupe is now offered on dealership consignment with its window sticker, factory manuals, receipts, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Texas title.
The M Coupe distinguishes itself from the contemporary Z3 by its wider rear fenders, front fender vents, and a revised front fascia. This example is finished in Black Sapphire Metallic (475) and features an optional glass sunroof as well as a rear spoiler, tinted windows, and quad exhaust outlets. The paintwork and exterior trim are shown in detail in the photo gallery below, which also includes images of some paint meter readings taken from around the body.
Staggered-width 17″ BMW Style 40 wheels are mounted with Bridgestone DriveGuard tires that show 2019 date codes.
The cabin features bolstered seats with black Nappa leather upholstery over matching carpeting and floor mats. A BMW CD radio was factory-optioned, and standard equipment includes air conditioning, power-adjustable seats, and a Harman Kardon sound system.
A three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of factory instrumentation that includes a 170-mph speedometer, a 9k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The digital odometer shows approximately 21k miles.
The 3.2-liter S54 features individual throttle bodies and produced 315 horsepower with 251 lb-ft of torque when new.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Additional photos of the underside are presented in the gallery below.
A number of service records accompany the vehicle along with the factory manuals.
The window sticker indicates original delivery to Moritz BMW of Arlington, Texas and lists the selected factory options as well as a total new price of $46,135.
The August 2020 Carfax report shows no accidents or other issues and displays one-owner registration activity in Texas since 2001.
