There's a reason you don't see many BPM Firebirds, that's the rarest color built, only 466 total in '98, 214 in '97. Can't tell if your car is a V6 or Formula, but FWIW, there were 293 '98 Firebird (V6) coupes built w/ 88U Bright Purple Metallic, 27 Formula coupes. The rarest BPM 'birds were the 2 WS6 'verts, 1 w/ M6, the other A4. Your car looks very clean. More details please!

I don't know the numbers from the LT1 models, but I've only ever seen ONE BGM 93-97 Firebird ( including internet pics )

Photos are a little blurry but I can certainly see the color. Looks nice! I certainly have not seen many and I can't imagine how few are left on the road. You may own one of just 100-200 in existence once you start factoring in the attrition rate.

Sorry if the pictures were blurry. I think I uploaded them wrong. Anyway, these shouldn't be blurry. If they are let me know and I'll try and fix it. I don't know why its putting duplicates either.

I had a '97 BGM Firebird. Bought it new off a lot and had it for 3 years.

No WS6 was every made in the BGM color from the factory. To the OP; your Bright Purple Metallic color was exceedingly rare and offered in 1997 and 1998 only.

I like it, but I am looking for a black 02 Ws6. The BPM is nice and all but at 20 I hate worrying about scratching it so its always looking like new and has to be in perfect condition. I want a TA I can burn the tires off in and not worry about the paint getting marks on it. XD
