For sale is my clean title slicktop 1999 BMW M Coupe in Arctic Silver Metallic with Dark Gray & Black Nappa interior and 72,360 miles. After owning an M Roadster for many years, I made the jump to an M Coupe and wouldn’t settle for anything other than one that was as nice and tastefully upgraded as this. The combination of being maintained by enthusiast owners and select modifications isn’t easy to find and I've owned it for the last 4 years. The interior and exterior are in excellent shape with no dents, dings, curb rash, or tears. There are just a few small nicks in the bumper that have been touched up but the paint is ceramic coated and looks great. There are also no mechanical issues with working cold A/C and a recent new battery. The reason for the sale is that I just haven’t found as much time to drive it and could use the funds for home improvement projects.
Some of the highlights include sunroof delete spec, Randy Forbes subframe reinforcement kit with Rogue Engineering dual ear differential mount (installed preventatively by Randy himself), FXR HID headlight retrofit, TCK S/A coilovers, Hamann exhaust, Apex Arc-8 wheels, and M50 intake manifold. The car will come with a binder full of previous receipts and maintenance records as well as spare parts including the stock roadstar wheels powdercoated black, stock antenna, car cover, and more. During my ownership, I’ve returned a few things back to stock including the radio, intake box, and shift knob. I can also include the previous carbon fiber Conforti air intake, ZHP shift knob, and some other parts that I’ve been collecting. Other changes during my ownership include the rare Hamann exhaust which is nearly as quiet as stock around town and TC Kline S/A coilovers with updated spring rates to the ideal street performance combination of 300F/700R.
