This is a rare opportunity to own a MANUAL transmission BMW 650i Coupe M-Sport. The F13 generation only offered a 6-speed manual for one year. In that year, approximately 10 M-Sport Coupes were shipped to the US. This is the only White one made and there is no replica of this car in the world. This gem is for sale only because we just bought 2 cars and no longer have time to drive this 1-of-1 unicorn.

The car is loaded with M-Sport Package, Nappa Leather, B&O sound system, Cold Weather Package, Luxury Seating Package with Ventilated/Massaging seats, Alcantara Headliner, Comfort Access, Rear View Camera, M-Adaptive Suspension, and more. Not modded, not tracked, not raced. This was purchased to be a collectors car and a summer-only weekend pleasure. Stored in winter.

Cosmetic upgrades include:
OEM 464m M5 20" Wheels Gloss Black (New 343m M5 Gloss Black wheels available)
Michelin Pilot Sport Tires (NEW Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06+ Tires available)
NEW Drilled/Slotted Brakes and Pads
NEW OEM Coils and Spark Plugs
Fresh Brake Fluid and Oil
Black Vinyl Roof
Carbon Fiber Spoiler and Grille
Ceramic Tinted Windows

This is a no-story, no-issues car. It is in better condition than any other manual F13 in the country. It is a former CPO warranty car. Clean CarFax and AutoCheck. Certified appraisal in September 2023 valued car between $39-46K. Listed Below Appraisal for quick sale before winter. Mileage 39960 and will go up slightly until storage.

This car will always hold its value and may appreciate. A car like this will literally never be built again! I am accepting offers/questions via PM only. I really want it to go to someone who will appreciate it and care for it.

Thank you for the compliment. I've been fortunate to be her caretaker. Will only give her up to someone who appreciates it.

Last time you posted this I told you to reach out if you ever changed your mind on selling it! Thankfully I found a relatively low mile 6-speed shortly after I commented on that thread. Gorgeous car as it was before - Good luck with the sale!

Hey Sleepybear, I completely remember you well! Since 2016, yours is the only other F13 6-spd sold that I was able to find for sale nationally. If I remember correctly, you had to do some work to yours after you bought it. Hope you were able to sort it all out. These are awesome unicorns that will only go up in value and rarity.

I'm curious about how you checked there are no others like yours. I know you can decode any VIN, but what allows you to know yours is unique?

I check occasionally as well and haven't seen any either. Sometimes a convertible will pop up, but usually into 100k miles territory.

I have indeed had to do a good amount of work, but it was mostly a passion project with a few maintenance bits mixed in. I've loved how it's turned out, especially after I recently repaired the drivers seat leather and did some other paint correction/protection and added styling bits. It is far from perfect, but it's spec'd out pretty well with the nappa extended leather, night vision, alcantara headliner, heated/cooling "massaging" seats. I'm not a fan of the upkeep that goes into black paint, and would've preferred a red interior over ivory, but as you've said these are just so rare I had to take what I could get.

Good question. I started looking for a 6-spd F13 toward the end of 2012. They stopped making them in the spring of 2012. I ended up buying a E63 6-spd as I could not find a F13 6-spd I wanted. The E63 was okay but I craved the F13 everyday.

Since I could not find the F13 I was looking for, I started checking VINs to find out how many 6-spd F13 M-Sport LHDs were made. Yes, I checked literally every VIN for the F13 (BMWNA was not helpful BTW). I wanted certain equipment and colors. There was only 1 in the country that ticked that box. I waited for about 2 years for it to hit the market and bought it right away. That car is the one in this listing.

Since then, only one other F13 6-spd M-Sport has hit the market and that was bought by Sleepybear, as he posted. So not only is this a 1-of-1, this is probably the best kept, best cared for, no story F13 6-spd in the country (not much competition I guess)!
