This 2001 BMW M Coupe is a black-over-black example powered by a 3.2-liter S54 inline-six paired with a five-speed manual transmission. The car sold on BaT in November 2016 before the selling dealer’s recent purchase out of Florida and relocation to New York, and it now has 81k miles. Equipment includes 17″ Style 40 wheels, a limited-slip differential, a sunroof, heated sport seats, and a Harman Kardon sound system. Work completed in September 2023 included refinishing the wheels and replacing the timing chain tensioner, VANOS pressure hose, clutch components, flywheel, driveshaft flex joint, brake pads and rotors, and more as detailed below. This M Coupe is now offered in New York by the selling dealer with a window sticker, manufacturer’s literature, service records, and a clean Florida title.
This M Coupe is one of 43 finished in Black Sapphire Metallic over black Nappa leather for the North American market for the model year.
