The BMW M Coupe is a shooting brake coupe styled high-performance automobile produced by BMW. Only two generations of the M Coupe have been manufactured, the original E36/8 Z3 Coupe and the second generation E86 Z4 Coupe.
The original E36 M Coupe was developed under Burkhard Göschel with the intention of adding increased torsional and structural rigidity to the Z3 roadster’s chassis. The team could only convince BMW to put the car into production, if it proved to be cost efficient. To achieve this goal, as many body panels as possible had to be shared with the roadster, thus the doors and everything from the A-pillar forward are interchangeable between the coupe and roadster, as are most interior parts. The Z3 coupe, which mates the M coupe's body with the standard Z3 drivetrain, chassis and cosmetics was approved for production at the same time.
The car is based on the BMW M Roadster. Although, the semi-trailing arm rear suspension was not modified from the M Roadster, The coupe is 2.7 times torsionally stiffer than its convertible counterpart. The most important aspect of the E36/8 M Coupe was the difference in engines, the BMW S50, BMW S52, and the BMW S54, were all offered in different markets at different times. Due to the unique styling of the M Coupe, dealer sales were slow, and dealerships sidestepped the M Coupe to sell the more practical and more profitable M3 models to performance enthusiasts.
As a result they were always relatively rare
