2002 BMW M Coupe

Introduced in 1998 as the performance variant of the BMW M3, the M Coupe was offered with a myriad of engineering and design improvements which not only made these cars unique, but also highly respected road cars. The Coupe featured special front and rear bumper fascia, special side vents, a unique set of side mirrors, and a full-length roofline with distinctive hatchback rear glass.

Given the high cost of tooling for such a risky proposition, BMW was hesitant to spend the resources to develop this unique car. However, with the improved chassis design and added torsional rigidity, BMW was eventually convinced that sales would potentially lure performance minded enthusiasts to this configuration.

Sales for the M coupe were steady but slower than BMW had hope. Now more than fifteen years later, this history has become a positive feature for enthusiasts seeking preserved rare examples. With production concluding in 2002, the final year of M Coupe production was also the most refined and desirable as it was offered with the S54 engine package.

Delivering a powerful 315 hp in North American trim, the performance was exhilarating especially through the manual 5-speed gearbox which allowed for 4.8 second 0-60 and a top speed of 162 mph. Rarely seen in North America, especially with the desirable S54 engine package, only 678 examples were constructed for delivery to the US in the final two years of production.

Our example has been under the care of just two owners since purchased new in 2002. The current owner, a local Bellevue, WA enthusiast, purchased the car in 2003 with just over 10,000 miles logged by the first owner. Over the past seventeen years, this M Coupe has been cared for and used sparingly, accounting for a mere 12,300 original miles logged since new.....READ MORE HERE
