Hello M-Coupe aficianados!
So, while at a local bimmer shop, I happened across a great looking M-Coupe. In speaking with some people, it was brought to my attention that the 2000-2001 models came with the S54 ![]() Were there any other changes during those model years...? Thanks!

S54s came with 3.15 diff ratios...S52 models had a 3.71. I think that might be it.

The '98 - '00 S52 Roadsters and Coupes came with a 3.23 LSD Other differences are gray faced gauges, curved face ///M badges on the exterior instead of flat, shadow chrome wheels instead of bright silver, I believe suspension may have been tweaked slightly as well. Additional colors unique to S54 cars were Phoenix Yellow, Silver Gray, and Laguna Seca Blue. The S54 cars (especially the Coupes) are quite rare, with only 690 Coupes originally delivered in the states. Lots of good literature over the past year or so in the many BMW publications speaking to the outlook on their collectibility and place in the classic BMW pecking order.

Engine aside, the S54 powered MZ3s have the major advantage of being equipped with the later and more advanced DSC traction control and TPS Tire Pressure Monitoring systems. Furthermore, the S54 cars supposedly have more welds in the rear floor-pan area but this hasn't been confirmed 100%. There are other minor differences as well between the models/years. S54 specific colors were: Steel Gray (although there are a handful of 2000 my Z3s floating around with this color), LSB, Phoenix, and Sapphire Black.

I love my 2001 S54 M Coupe. Buy one if you can. They only made 678 Z3M Coupes with the S54
I did a few videos of mine on my YouTube Channel. I also recently reviewed a 2001 M Roadster (S54). That was great as well. here are the links: M Coupe - 7 Reasons to Buy M Coupe vs BMW M2 M Roadster Review website with more videos http://www.glennscarcollection.com/ let me know if you have any questions about the car.
