After wrestling with the idea for some time, I have decided to part ways with my 2000 M Coupe. As many are aware, I barely drive it as it is and I will have even less time to dedicate to the car in the foreseeable future; I may as well retire it from paperweight status and let someone else enjoy it. For anyone looking for a reliable, beautiful street/track/show capable driver example, this car will tick all the boxes.

Many of you are familiar with my car given that prior owner poured a decent amount of time, effort and money into it; I followed suit throughout my ownership as well. As a result, the car benefits from a lengthy list of desirable/valuable upgrades, making it one of the best driver examples around. Today the car sits almost the same (actually better) than when I purchased it, with a little over 3000 new miles - 900 of which were added during the drive home on purchase day. This tells the story as to how little I drive it.

***LENGTHY POST WARNING***: if you made it this far and just want to get to the price/pictures, scroll all the way down; however, the list below is worthy of reading.

There isn’t enough space for me to mention every single detail of work that has gone into the car and therefore I will focus on listing all major/significant items. Without further ado:

2000 Titanium Silver Metallic M Coupe over Dark Gray/Black Nappa Leather (1 of 59 with its particular options)

All in roughly a value of ~$2,000-$2,500 in stereo upgrades.

The setup is tailored to the car and fits beautifully - widths/offsets are more aggressive than what Work normally recommends for the car. Breaks necks everywhere the car goes and wheels/tires have less than 200 miles on them. Value for this setup is ~$6,000.

• Passenger door lock actuator replaced (2019)
• New windshield (2021)
• Trunk hatch latch replaced (2019), I believe the latch actuator rod has also been updated (date unknown)

Imperfections/items needing work:

• Hood replaced with a DOT-R hood under original owner (two owners ago, prior to 2007). No history of accident as the replacement came from a car backing into the front of the coupe during original ownership.
• Slight scratch on passenger-side rear bumper that’s barely noticeable and can likely be addressed with a good polish. I’m quite OCD about the car and it doesn’t bother me.
• There is a small AC refrigerant leak that I have been chasing for a little while. I have replaced both Schrader valves which I found to be leaking and introduced dye into the system. While there is 0 evidence of dye anywhere in the engine bay and the sniffer does not detect a leak, the pressures do drop over time so I suspect it’s either the expansion valve and/or the evaporator, or an o-ring somewhere within. Compressor/clutch/AC button/blower/etc. all verified to work perfectly.

In addition to the above, the car will come with enough spare parts to fill up a small SUV/crossover, including: a set of spare triangle windows with guides, OEM exhaust, all of the original stereo components excluding the CD43 head unit (sold by PO), all water/coolant hoses with new hose clamps (intended for a future refresh), multiple sets of hub centric spacers, wheel lugs, and much more.

Setting price at $39,368 as it sits with everything included, located in West Palm Beach, FL. Seriously inquiries only.

Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions.

PS: I’m currently on international travels and will return home on Sunday, at which point I can provide any additional photos and be more responsive.
