The M Coupe is a new model from BMW for 1999, and shares much of its underpinnings with the M Roadster.
Introduction
BMW has sold high-performance automobiles under the M brand for over 20 years, with 82 percent being sold in the U.S. The German automaker refers to the new M Coupe as “a true GT,” designed in the same tradition as the classic Jaguar E-Type and Jensen Interceptor. On first sight, many people see this new BMW as having an odd, unusual shape. But that’s fine with BMW, since the automaker only plans to build a small number of the high-powered coupe. The suspension has been modified from the M Roadster, and the new coupe is 2.6 times stiffer than its topless counterpart. This newest M entry is also the fastest stock BMW ever sold in America, reaching 60 mph from a standstill in only 5.1 seconds.
