This Cosmos Black over black and grey leather example is one of only forty-one 2000 model year black over grey combinations. Our Z3M spent most of its life in Florida until it came to us in Colorado. It is completely stock and unmolested, with 97k miles on the odometer. All common issues have been addressed or are not present. A preventative cooling system overhaul, saggy glovebox reinforcement, delrin seat bushing retrofit, leaky mirror retrofit with solid state internals, inspected the trunk floor spot welds (they were healthy), with lots more.

Cosmos Black Metallic is one of the best M Coupe colors. The dark metallic paint accentuates the aggressive lines of the form.The paint on this example is in good condition. There is a small ding in the passenger rear quarter panel. The front bumper has a spot in the center of failed clear coat that has been touched up. There is zero rust and all VIN tags are in place except for the panel behind the left front wheel (a commonly replaced part). I have no documentation of why it missing, but the Carfax is clean and there are no indications of any accidents—the unibody, panel gaps, control arms, suspension, and front and rear subframe are all perfectly straight.

I can provide a paint gauge report on request. The Roundels and M badges are brilliant with no crazed or faded paint. The Style 40 Roadstar staggered wheels (17” x 7.5” front and 17” x 9“ rear) are clean, with the only curb rash being a small amount on the driver's rear wheel. The rest of the wheels only have some small nicks in the paint.

Two-tone interiors are one of the M Coupe's best design features. Black and grey are perfect interior colors to complement the Cosmos Black Metallic exterior. Headliner has no sag.The seat leather is in excellent condition with no tears, stains, or failed seams. The seat bushings do not rock; they have been upgraded with delrin bushings from Ireland Engineering. All seat motors work, as do the seat heaters. There is slight wear on the driver's side seat bolster.The 3-spoke steering wheel has light wear. The instrument cluster has no blown out pixels and all gauges work correctly. The CD-43 Business CD player has no blown out pixels and the volume rheostat works correctly (common issues). The glovebox does not sag; it has had a reinforcement kit installed. The auto-dimming rearview mirror has been replaced with one with solid state internals. The center console switch panel is not cracked thanks its recent replacement. All interior functions work correctly; power windows, power door locks, cruise control; the heat blows warm and the air conditioning blows cold. The rear hatch divider is present and in great shape. The trunk carpet is clean, and underneath the tool kit and owner's manuals are present.

This is a turn-key M Coupe; all major and preventative maintenance is up to date. It has always been properly owned and benefitted from regular oil changes and routine maintenance. The S52 engine is one of BMW's reliable power plants, having none of the rod bearing issues or needing the valve adjustments that the later S54 powered M Coupes did. The S52B32 engine idles smoothly, pulls strong, and has no Vanos rattle or lifter knock. It does not leak, drip, or spot. The clutch and shifter are crisp and precise. There is no 5th gear lean due to worn shift pins (a common issue). The brakes are firm, the suspension is compliant, and there are no driveline or wheel bearing noises or vibrations. Suspension bushings are tight. The rear trunk floor has no sunken spot welds and the rear differential mounts have no tears.
