    I heard a rumour that the M Coupe was born in the USA? Can anyone confirm?!

    It was built in North Carolina with engine/drivetrain coming from Germany.

      Close. Built in South Carolina (Spartanburg) with driveline sourced from German. The factory also produces the X3, X5, and the Z4.

      Every year the factory does a Z3/Z4 homecoming at the end of the summer and hundreds of cars visit from all over north america. Last year was the 10 year anniversary and we got a visit from Chris Bangle and the director of BMW Engineering (Professor - Doctor something or other, I forget his name)

        There's a (scanned) report in my gallery of the engine plant that builds the S54.

        The M Coupe ... For those who understand, no explanation is needed. For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible.

        Now ... S54: Sapphire Black/Black-Black/HK+6/Cruise/Sun Roof/H~Lamp wash///ACS Road Suspension/Rogue Engineering rear top mounts/Braided clutch hose
        RIP ... S50: Artic Silver/Black-Grey/HK+6/Cruise/Side 'bags/Grad Tint///ACS Short Shift/Strong Strut/K&N/HIDs & Angels
