I decided to make this information more available to everyone. Now, when you look at a sales listing you will see &#8220;Rarity: 1 of &#8230;&#8221;. This will show you the number of coupes produced in the same color combination, in the same year, and with or without a sunroof as the listed coupe. Below this line you&#8217;ll see a link to &#8220;View Product Information&#8221;. If the VIN is available on the listed coupe, you will be taken to a page that will show you the coupe&#8217;s original colors, year, production date, engine, notable options, a link to get a vehicle history report, a variety of production statistics and its sales history. For those that I do not have a VIN for, it will just show you the general information and production statistics.<\/p>\n<p>The production statistics include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Total Number with the Same Engine<\/li>\n<li>Total Number in the Same Model Year<\/li>\n<li>Total Number in \t\tthe Same Exterior Color<\/li>\n<li>Total Number with the Same Interior Color<\/li>\n<li>Total Number in the Same Color Combination<\/li>\n<li>Total Number in the Same Color Combination with or without a Sunroof<\/li>\n<li>Total Number in the Same Color Combination with or without a Sunroof and with the Same Engine<\/li>\n<li>Total Number in the Same Color Combination with or without a Sunroof and in the Same Model Year<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you have ideas for more, please send them to me and I&#8217;ll add them.<\/p>\n<h3>VIN Lookup<\/h3>\n<p>Under the new tab &#8220;Research&#8221;, you will now find the new &#8220;VIN Lookup&#8221; page. This will allow you to input any M Coupe VIN and see the production information listed above for that coupe.<\/p>\n<h3>Forced Induction<\/h3>\n<p>The last change I made is highlighting those coupes with superchargers or turbos. I&#8217;ve noticed that is a feature some shoppers are looking for specifically, so I thought I&#8217;d make it easier for them. It will also help explain the price premium on those coupes versus the naturally aspirated ones. They are now noted with a &#8220;Forced Induction&#8221; tag. You may also query the coupes for sale or sold by this tag.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently added a few new features to the sales listing and research sections.
