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 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 coupe is 2.6 times stiffer than its topless counterpart. The M Coupe is also one of the fastest stock BMW ever sold in America, reaching 60 mph from a standstill in only 5 seconds. The 2001 M Coupe went on sale in May of 2001.
