" BMW&amp;#039;s\u00A0M Coupe has turned into a modern cult classic, with\u00A0prices going\u00A0the way of air-cooled 911s. Which is to say, they&amp;#039;ve shot to the stratosphere. The M Coupes equipped with the E46 M3&amp;#039;s 8000-rpm straight-six are especially valuable, but as with any rapidly-appreciating car, there&amp;#039;s a chance that it&amp;#039;s become the victim of over-hype.\u00A0The\u00A0Smoking Tire&amp;#039;s\u00A0Matt Farah got his hands on one recently to find out. Does the S54-equipped M Coupe live up to the reputation? This lightly modified example does. It offers a great combination of excellent handling (thanks to its compact dimensions)\u00A0and one of BMW&amp;#039;s finest straight-sixes. Is it worth $50,000 or more? That&amp;#039;s probably for you to decide, but that&amp;#039;s the price you&amp;#039;ll pay for one of BMW&amp;#039;s rarest modern cars. Perhaps the M Coupe equipped with the E36 M3&amp;#039;s less powerful straight-six is a better value at around $25,000.        "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
