Owner's Pitch
"Rare 'Clown Shoe' M Coupe in sought-after Estoril Blue. Only 67k original miles and two-owner history. Mechanically sound with current smog and registration. While it needs cosmetic paint work, this is a low-mileage investment-grade BMW priced well below the market to account for restoration. Perfect project for a serious collector."

Description
Overview: This 1999 BMW M Coupe is a rare find and a true enthusiast's gem. As a two-owner vehicle originally purchased by the seller's father-in-law, it has been kept in the family and driven sparingly.
Condition and Maintenance: The car has relatively low mileage and shows minimal internal wear. It has recently passed smog and the registration is current, ensuring it is ready for the road. The car is an absolute thrill to drive and mechanically sound.
Cosmetic Notes: There is some cosmetic damage as shown in the photos, and the vehicle will eventually require a full paint job. The asking price has been adjusted downward to accommodate this expense for the next owner.
Customization Potential: While the current Estoril Blue is highly sought after, the need for a respray allows the new owner to either restore it to factory perfection or choose a custom color of their preference.
Market Highlights
- The Collector Advantage: The 1999 M Coupe, affectionately known as the 'Clown Shoe,' has transitioned from a used car to a high-demand collector asset. Its polarizing design and limited production numbers ensure that low-mileage examples remain insulated from standard depreciation cycles.
- Estoril Blue Premium: Color choice is paramount in the BMW enthusiast market. Estoril Blue is arguably the most desirable shade for the Z3 M generation. Even with paint issues, a factory blue car retains significantly more value than more common silver or black variants.
- SoCal Market Strength: Southern California remains a global hub for the 'Radwood' era car culture. Rust-free examples from this region command a 10-15% premium over East Coast or Midwest cars because the chassis integrity is generally superior, especially for a vehicle intended for long-term preservation.
