2001 BMW M Coupe S54

This 2001 BMW M Coupe is finished in Black Sapphire Metallic over Black Nappa leather and is powered by a 3.2-liter S54 inline-six linked to a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Equipment includes antilock disc brakes, 17″ Style 40 wheels, a sunroof, heated sport seats, air conditioning, a CD stereo, and a Harman Kardon sound system. The car was previously sold on BaT in November 2016 and was acquired by the current owner in 2019, before it was listed on BaT in September 2023. Work completed since 2023 included refinishing the wheels and replacing the timing chain tensioner, fuel pump, VANOS pressure hose, flywheel, clutch, driveshaft flex joint, brake rotors and pads, and additional items detailed in the service records. This M Coupe has 81k miles and is offered at no reserve on dealer consignment, through a BaT local partner in Georgia, with a copy of the window sticker, an owner’s manual, service records, a Carfax report, and a clean Florida title.

This M Coupe is one of 43 finished in Black Sapphire Metallic (475) over black Nappa leather for the North American market for the model year. Exterior details include fender vents, a sunroof, a rear window wiper, and quad exhaust outlets. The Carfax report indicates that “minor damage” to the rear of the car resulted from an incident in April 2015, and the hood, left quarter panel, and bumper covers were repaired and repainted later that year. The roof was repaired in August 2016, and paintless dent removal was performed in September 2023.

The refinished 17″ Style 40 wheels are mounted with Michelin Pilot Super Sport front and Pilot Sport 4S rear tires. The car is equipped with Dynamic Stability Control and All-Season Traction (AST), and antilock braking is handled by four-wheel ventilated discs. The yaw sensor, front bump stops, and front and rear brake rotors and pads were replaced in 2023.

The heated sport seats are trimmed in Black Nappa leather. Appointments include air conditioning, cruise control, and a CD stereo paired with a Harman Kardon sound system. The seat rail bushings for both seats were replaced in 2023.

The M-branded leather-wrapped steering wheel features tri-color stitching and frames a 170-mph speedometer and a tachometer with an 8k-rpm redline, as well as gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 81k miles, approximately 2k of which were added under current ownership.

The 3.2-liter S54B32 inline-six was factory rated at 315 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque and features double-VANOS variable valve timing and a Siemens MSS 54 engine management control system. Service since 2023 included replacing the timing chain tensioner, fuel pump, and VANOS pressure hose. The most recent oil change was performed in August 2026.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a ZF five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The flywheel, clutch, and driveshaft flex joint were replaced, and a transmission detent kit was installed in September 2023.

The copy of the window sticker lists initial delivery to Prestige Imports in Santa Rosa, California, along with factory colors, standard and optional equipment, and a total suggested retail price of $46,135.

The Carfax report notes the aforementioned damage report in April 2015.
