I am selling my 2001 M Coupe. It is 1 of 690 Coupes built with the S54 engine (same engine that is in the E46 M3 and Z4M's). While I hate to part with her, I do not drive the car much and I am making room in the garage for another project. The car is in excellent shape and people are always shocked that it is 10 years old.
The Coupe has 42,8XX miles on it. I bought it in 2007 with 39,XXX miles on it. It has always been kept in the garage and has never been to the track. I know a lot of people claim that and lie, but that is not the case here. I fully intended to track this car, but work has gotten in the way and the set of race wheels and tires has gone unused (may be thrown in as part of the deal).
The Coupe has many modifications. When I sold my STi to buy this coupe, I pulled off all of the modification I had made to that car and sold them separately. I would not dare dream of doing that with the Coupe as these modifications have made it even more fun to drive. One in particular - the subframe fix - is essential for any Coupe owner.
I have all of the records for this car, both from previous owners and myself.

I also have a set of Roadstars which may be part of the deal. The tires have some life left in them.
I will also include the following spare parts:
* Set of spark plugs
* Complete oil change kit including filter, gaskets, and oil
* Additional set of oil filters and gaskets
* Set of belts
* Set of radiator hoses
* Miscellaneous BMW specific spare parts (interior fasteners, clips, etc.)
* Original estoril blue/black seats
* Rogue Engineering dual ear differential cover w/ gasket and fluid (have not had the time to install it)
For the right buyer and price, I might be convinced to include the 17" Team Dynamics Prod Race 1.2 wheels with RA-1 tires which have less than 50 miles of road break-in miles on them.
I know that S54 M Coupe prices vary from $25K-$32K depending on condition. Based on the low miles, excellent condition, and extensive enhancements, I am offering the car at $35,000. Looking at just the mods that are essentially brand new (less than 800 miles), there is over $4,800 invested. Add to that the $3,500 spent on Randy's kit and professional installation and you can see that this is a car that is ready to go on day 1 and well worth the offer price. The remaining mods are just icing on the cake. That said, I am willing to entertain serious offers, although I am in no rush to sell and can wait for the right buyer.
Thanks for looking.
