It might not have seemed so at the time, but if there was ever a car produced with the enthusiast squarely in mind, it was the BMW M Coupe. This lithe sports car only got better with age, with BMW dropping the newly developed S54 inline-6 that would see duty in the E46 M3. Just over 1,100 M Coupes with this engine were produced for 2001 and 2002, making them one of the most highly sought after BMWs of recent memory. This 2001 M Coupe for sale in California is a minter, with less than 40,000 miles on the odometer. This car was sold in 2011 by that famous purveyor of some of the finest Bavarian machinery, Enthusiast Auto Group.

In early 2014, we saw a similar 2002 M Coupe in Black Sapphire with just over 40,000 miles fetch $32,600. So given it’s been more than a year, have M Coupes really increased in value by this much? We all know EAG cars are the best of the bunch, but when you start crossing into the $40,000 territory, there’s a lot of other interesting cars that start coming into the picture that offer similar amounts of fun. These cars have rarity on their side and still retain a lot of the old school BMW-ness we all enjoy. I don’t see them going down in value anytime soon, but the price on this one might be a bit optimistic at the present time.

Actually this price is closer to where it should be than you think. If you follow the market closely you’d see the number of available S54 M coupes (clean or not) is staggeringly low.

As an owner of s 2000 (S52) M Coupe, I’d have to agree with Rick. Price is in line .
I think the price is unrealistic. $45k for this car is ridiculous. Yes, it’s a low mile car, sounds like no paintwork, no issues. Black on black is good for resale. Sounds like the maintenance is up to date. But overpriced by about $10-15k. You might find a buyer, but it’s too much.
There aren’t many on the market because only 690 were made. At the age that they are now, a clean, low-mileage example is most likely in the hands of an enthusiast/collector.
