The time has come for another BMW enthusiast to own such a rare M Coupe (we call it Sunshine). This is the www.Mcoupe.com project car, listed at www.Mcoupe.com.
2001 Phoenix Yellow Metallic on Black Nappa Interior. At less than 49k on the current odometer, the miles are low for this garage queen. I'm currently the 3rd owner and kept the M Coupe on a lift, in my garage. Sunshine is VERY CLEAN, with full documentation from the 1st, 2nd, and current (me) owners.
There is some light track history with BMW CCA and Porsche Club days at Putnam Park and Mid Ohio. Prior to any track events, all subframe reinforcement (including Rouge Engineering double ear differential), plus suspension, was preformed by Randy Forbes of Sports Cars Plus. Additional preventative engine (rod bearings replacement), suspension and subframe maintenance was performed by Sports Cars Plus and noted in full documentation + invoices. Also, during my ownership, this car has been cared for by local BMW specialty shops, and the local BMW dealership who knows this car well.
Sunshine is the tightest M Coupe I've ever driven. With the upgrades listed
below, you'll soon understand how this car feels like it's on rails. It feels great,
regardless of road surface.

Owners Last Comments:
This is an extremely rare M Coupe and only serious inquires please. I'm in no
rush to sell, but to answer the question, "Why are you selling". Well, a few
reasons, but mainly to spend more time with kids/family. Also, for the past 15
years, cars have been a passion for me, but I'm moving on with other priorities. I
know in 20 years, I might regret the selling of this beautiful M Coupe, but I hope it
goes to a good owner who can enjoy it as much as I have.
