Just finalized the deal on my new M Coupe! I discovered this car last October and after 10 months of emailing and trying to get the seller to send me some photos/descriptions, the persistance has finally paid off. Special thanks to BobC

on the board who put me in touch with the seller as the car was never really for sale officially. Thanks again Bob for replying to my post via PM when I was hunting for one!
I get to pick it up in a couple of weeks (schedule/airfare issues....)
Anyway,
Here's the specs:
2001 (everyone said get the S54, so I did

)
It is a very late 2001 production as it was delivered in August of 01. One month later, the dealer the car was purchased from had a 2002 in the showroom.
Estroil Blue Exterior
Full Black (no blue or gray and black here) interior
NO SUNROOF (I love it and talk about tough to find)
8,950 Original Miles and I buying it from the orig. owner who special ordered the car.
No mods except the replacement of the original battery.
I'm very excited. Here is one of the photos he sent me. I'll post more when I bring her home. I have to go 1200 miles to get, but the ride home is going to be worth it!
Oh yeah, don't ask what I paid for it

. Let's just say it was over 30K and under 40K.
Thanks again,
This board is great.
