I love this this thing! Thanks for posting this. Every time I see one, it gives me the chills. One day...

SpenceRx · 10-11-2017, 01:09 PM

These have grown on me over the years.

^ especially in Estoril Blue !

Red Bread · 10-11-2017, 01:12 PM

The one BMW I've had that I truly loved. Just a horrid interior, the windows didn't quite go all the way down and cut off circulation when you put your arm out the window, the a/c was laughable, it was a full day endeavor to replace the awful rear shock mounts, but none of that mattered once you had a little open road or track time.

IND-Distribution · 10-11-2017, 01:22 PM

Big fans of the Mcoupe.

Kankles · 10-11-2017, 01:29 PM

Pure funk in the trunk sex

Kid Eh · 10-11-2017, 01:31 PM

Probably the ugliest car I've ever seen. IMHO.

This has got to be one of the best roadster side profiles of all time. I saw one in Oxford Green recently just like this one and it was absolutely STUNNING.

These were the days when seeing BMWs made my heart race, gave me chills and put a stupid grin on my face. I actually grew up looking at these roadsters and wanting to own a BMW someday. Heck, I even had a poster of a White one on my wall. Today, I am lucky to own 2 BMWs but gone is some of that raw emotion. Most new models just don't do it for these days. *Sigh*

My brother bought an EB M coupe and it was the first BMW in our family. For the longest time, I never understood his love for the car until I drove it. Such an incredible car to drive and the clown shoe is one of the coolest BMWs ever produced.

Note: Now every family member in my family has a BMW and I think we can attribute it to this car.

God that color is fucking amazing! Definitely very different from the Estriol blue. Which is a nice breath of air.

Comforts.. who cares! It's the drive that matters!

I came to the M Coupe from a Miata, so it actually seemed wildly luxurious, quiet and smooth. Plus it held a keg in the hatch like it was designed specifically for that purpose.

One of my favorite colors on those, then again I'm a little biased...

I'm sorry to hear that

I have a '00 M Coupe and I absolutely love it. Two friends of mine had one and after seeing them and driving one, I knew I had to have one of my own. Not everyone likes it's quirky looks, but its certainly unique and such a blast to drive. Like what was said above, it puts a stupid grin on my face every time I drive it, even if its not the fastest car it has loads of character.

That rear end.

EvenKeel · 10-11-2017, 04:36 PM

That video was a colossal waste of time.

Dude talks about a highly modded NA build and yet there is ZERO talk about what's been done to the car.

Don't need a 5 min unsupported dissertation on why you have a hard on for your car. Sheesh!

YearOneOne · 10-11-2017, 09:09 PM

When you have to pause your thoughts to row the gears....that's wheel love there!!

NYBulldog · 10-11-2017, 09:10 PM

raysspl · 10-11-2017, 10:13 PM

Truly unique, quirky, & gorgeous all the same

MSCD · 10-11-2017, 10:26 PM

Recent meet, I love this car...the convertible was good looking too, at the time. I snapped its successor too. The M coupe wears silver well!
