SOLD!
2000 BMW M Coupe
Titanium Silver Metallic / Black Napa
WBSCM9345YLC61246
Current Mileage: 136,XXX
Price: $15,000
I purchased this coupe November 4, 2011 from a local enthusiast. I'm not shy in saying that it was in very rough shape when I took possession, but has come a long way from that day. Since then I've been putting time in here and there to get it back into a presentable condition.
I'll detail some of the work I performed below to bring it to this point.
131,433 - Purchased
131.609 - Replaced Bent Wheel
131,609 - Replaced Broken Springs
131,609 - Replaced Strut Top Hats
131,609 - Replaced Spark Plugs
131,609 - Replaced Drivers Side Interior Door Handle
131,609 - Replaced Drivers Side Window Regulator
131,609 - Fixed One Touch Windows
131,823 - Replaced Exhaust Mid-Section
131,823 - Custom Catback Exhaust With MagnaFlow 14815 Mufflers
131,823 - Four New Tires
133,809 - Repainted (Professionally, including replacement of rear bumper)
135,650 - Fixed Inoperative Turnsignals
135,650 - Installed Full Interior
135,874 - Installed New Oxygen Sensors
(This list is not all inclusive, I'm sure there's other major work that I've recently performed.)
The car now has a current VA state safety inspection and has passed VA emissions testing (which, if you live in VA, know how much of a pain it can be.)
Here are the list of goodies I can rattle off about it (but I'm sure there's some I'm missing):
Subframe has been reinforced - It's not a R.F. job, however it's good. I also received a positive second opinion from the shop who did my red coupes "bomb proof" subframe reinforcement;
3.73 rear end;
Ireland Subframe Bushings;
H&R Springs;
Billstein Shocks;
Custom Exhaust;
M50 Manifold;
Replica ACS Wing.
As far as the usual maintenance goes: new tires, new brakes, fresh oil change (just done yesterday)
I've put more money into than I can admit (don't ask, I won't tell!), but it is definitely a good coupe and has served as great daily driver for me. If you're looking for a perfect coupe, this isn't for you. However if you're looking for a good coupe that you're not afraid to drive, this is it. Would also make a great track car, etc.
So, why am I selling? A few simple reasons. First, we just purchased a new house and I'd like to use the funds to assist with some projects. Second, once my Red coupe is running again, I'll lose interest in this car. Third, I get nailed hard with property tax where I live. That simple!
I really hope that an enthusiast picks this up - I'd like to see it go to a good home.
Best,
Jonathan Thayer

Good luck with the sale. I can vouch that the OP is a great seller and is a very honest guy... and has one fast coupe.
Thanks Mike, I appreciate that. Once my life calms down (heading into a four year financial audit at work), we will need to get together to BS. Hope everything is going well with your roady.
And it goes without saying that I'll walk the new owner through the car and provide as much documentation as possible. If any interested buyers need references, etc., please just let me know.
I'l take two of the red ones please!
Bump for a good guy and nice car..
Thanks for the comments Alex. I'd definitely take two of the red ones too
I'll share this around my neck of the woods. Wish I had the coin myself.
Great Schuh Syndikat Pix too!

The chick on the left is clearly not impressed.
Jonno, awesome coupe mate, if only u lived in the UAE. Good luck with the sale mate.
GLWS Jonathan. For those that don't know, Jonathan takes great care of his cars and really brought this one back to life. It was in rough shape when he bought it but like a true coupe lover he brought it back to full strength. The price he's asking is a little low considering what you are getting with all the work he had done to it. Jonathan is as stand up as they get and anyone who buys the car won't be disappointed.

“If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no resource left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government, and which against the usurpations of the national rulers may be exerted with infinitely better prospect of success than against those of the rulers of an individual State. In a single State, if the persons intrusted with supreme power become usurpers, the different parcels, subdivisions, or districts of which it consists, having no distinct government in each, can take no regular measures for defense. The citizens must rush tumultuously to arms, without concert, without system, without resource; except in their courage and despair.” – Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 28
