BMW M Coupe

In 1998, BMW produced the M Coupe finished in Evergreen color with the S52 engine. It is an extremely rare car.

It is a model with a 3.2-liter inline-six-cylinder engine that delivers 316 hp (236 kw) and 260 lb-ft (350 Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The car was designed by Burkhard Göschel as a hardcore version of the Z3 roadster. The car has a stiffer suspension with increased torsional and structural rigidity.

The M Coupe was first registered on October 29, 1998 in the province of Belluno (northern Italy). It has changed five owners so far and is a well-preserved car, repainted in the original Evergreen color.

The car was made in 2,180 copies. This is one of 89 cars worldwide that are finished in Evergreen color of which 48 are made for the European market.

RM Sotheby’s is announcing its sale online and the auction will take place between February 19th and 27th.
