Seller Description

99 BMW M Coupe – excellent condition, fully sorted, tastefully upgraded
Imola Red 104,xxx miles(bought w/52k) With red/black interior Body(9.5/10) Interior(9.5/10) - GREAT car, don't let the mileage scare you, it's all fresh and diligently maintained - I built it to be a great all-round Coupe, I've had several E36 M3's and E30 M3's and I took all the best I learned from those to build this car. Wanted to drive it at the street/track without losing drivability; sadly I only did one track day at Sebring and it became my commuter after that(thus the miles)...that said, I never drive it anymore now that I moved to New Orleans, streets are too full of potholes and had to get another car. Bought the car for $24,000 in 2004, plus $7000-$8000+ in added mods. - Reasonable offers considered.

Notes:

  • Cats are removed, so it also has check engine light removed – I have the original cats and O2 sensors - the cats can be welded back in and check engine light will go back to normal functioning OR buy O2-sensor simulators to override the code. Removed about 2-ft of supercharger plumbing, combing with the cats removed, this has a much better midrange than it did with just the supercharger alone.
  • Airbag light disabled when Sparco wheel was installed, I no longer have the factory steering wheel(Sold 4-yrs ago) – but otherwise airbag system will function properly if a factory wheel is put back on the car(I’m 6’2” and I couldn’t drive the car with the BIG factory wheel).
  • For full disclosure, the hood, D/S fender and front spoiler were replaced in Mar 2005 after it got backed into - they were fixable, but I insisted on replacements because it folded the seam on the hood and I didn't want bondo :-) A few rock chips and door dings too, but all minor

All parts to return it back to stock are included too(coolers, fan, cat, airbox, spare headlights etc)

My Comments

Sold 6/16/11 - Sold on Ebay for $16,900 in less than a day. Great buy!

6/16/11 Update - Now listed on Ebay with a $16,900 buy-it-now.

6/14/11 Update - The seller let me know he had a BMW dealer replace the shift pins about 4,000 miles ago. If you've driven a coupe that has had the shift pin service done, you'll know it's a big plus.

This coupe was obviously built with no intention of ever selling it. It seems to be fully sorted with a lot of nice upgrades. Pretty much ever aspect of the car has been addressed. The bonus is that if there's anything you don't like, the seller will include everything needed to return it to stock. It's had a lot of recent maintenance done including a supercharger rebuild last year. Condition-wise, it seems to be remarkably clean for the mileage and the engine bay is just beautiful. The seller is an IndyCar and ALMS mechanic on the side, so you know things were installed right. I think it's priced very well considering the upgrades and condition.
