The BMW M Coupe is among the rarest M Series models to be produced, with the Z3 M Coupe being the most valuable. The most pristine Z3 M Coupe values have crossed the six-figure threshold and will likely continue appreciating. The final two years of E38 Z3 M Coupe production benefit from a massive upgrade in the form of a more powerful engine from the E46 M3, which increased horsepower by more than 30%. With only a few thousand Z3 M Coupes sold in the United States across all years and only a few hundred featuring the more desirable engine, it's no wonder they are in high demand.
After several years of production hiatus, BMW reintroduced the M Coupe on the Z4 platform. Unlike the previous generation, The E86 Z4 M Coupe shared similar styling to the E85 Z4 M Roadster. The first-generation M Coupe has a unique shape not found on any other M Series, is called the "clownshoe" and looks drastically different than its M Roadster sibling. The second-generation M Coupe features the engine from the E46 M3 and sends 300+ horsepower to the rear wheels with the assistance of a limited-slip differential. Using BMW's award-winning naturally aspirated engine that makes more than 100 HP per liter in the M Coupe allows it to complete a 0-60 sprint in under five seconds.
