Beginning as an unofficial skunkworks project under the leadership of Burkhard Göschel, the M Coupe was intended to be a stiffer, more rewarding take on the accomplished Z3 M Roadster. Sharing the latter’s doors and structure from the A-posts forward, the reinforced hardtop featured wider tracks, recalibrated suspension and a style all its own. Borrowing cues from BMW’s Mille Miglia-winning 328 Coupe and iconic 507 Roadster, the M Coupe was initially powered by its M3 Evolution sibling’s 3.2 litre DOHC straight-six engine allied to five-speed manual transmission and a limited slip differential. With some 321bhp / 251lbft on tap but lacking traction control, the two-seater was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.4 seconds and limited to 155mph. With its elongated bonnet, truncated hatchback rear, foursquare stance and quad exhaust pipes, BMW’s smallest ‘M’ car did not want for road presence. Great fun, it was given next to no marketing exposure so as not to steal sales from the more profitable M3 range (in both E36 and E46 guises). Thus, total right-hand drive production of the CM92-specification variant was just 821 cars.

Finished in Estoril Blue with matching leather upholstery, chassis WBSCM92070LB29169 was first UK registered as ‘S100 LCS’ on November 6^th 1998. Equipped with a sunroof, air-conditioning, heated seats, Harman Kardon stereo and cruise control, it was bought by Sam Bailey of the SL Shop as a present for his father prior to entering the current (sixth) ownership in 2013. Reportedly well maintained over the last eleven years as part of a private collection the BMW has just been treated to an oil change, fresh MOT and new rear shock absorbers. Summed-up by the vendor as ‘a nice car’, he notes some light marks to the paintwork and wheels. Among the more memorable and enjoyable ‘M’ cars of recent years, this rawer, S50-engined M Coupe is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, stamped service book (up to 2012) and sundry paperwork.
