Stung by an Mcoupe...

FASTTOYS · 02-12-2011, 09:12 PM

I sold my 07 M C last year 7k miles loaded black with forgestar wheels. The car is feature on the forgestar web site. I had a bad back & getting in and out of the MC was not easy. I replaced it with a new V10 M5. I never fell in love with the Z4 like I did with 2000 Z3 M coupe. I wish i never sold that old bread wagon.

I do love the M5 its a keeper

Looking to pick up the 1M I hope they have it at the Dallas Auto Show

Yeah, sometimes getting in and out of these sports cars is difficult. Glad you found a nice replacement.

rossii · 02-13-2011, 07:39 PM

I seriously think the M Coupe is one of BMW's best looking cars ever. I think it will be a classic. I cant even remember when was the last time I saw one on the road. Plus its "raw" a true sports car. I would get one if it wasnt so damn impractical.

JasonCSU · 02-14-2011, 12:20 AM

Nice find. I'm also contemplating keeping my 135 and picking up a Z4 M Coupe to go with it.

It was a tough choice but between the $ difference plus no turbos, proven engine, etc, I felt real comfortable going this way. I have a 4runner when I need lots of space so that's not an issue either. Good luck with your choice! Either way you'll have a rare car.

I hear u, the z4mc is such a pure car. I have a 1k$ deposit with military sales for the 1m and lately I've been looking at z4mc on auto trader. For the exact same reason as stated by many of your, my heart is leaning towards forgoing the 1m and getting a z4mc. No matter how many pictures I look at of the 1m, the z4m is better looking, pose to strike, with a ascetics that will definitely age better.

When I get home in a month, I think I may pull the trigger. O7 or above, carbon trim, no navi, in AW/black/or blue.

BMW u could of had a guaranteed sale if only u made the 1m available for the military on initial launch instead of maybe November (which in itself is not guaranteed).

My dad has one...we get stopped all the time, people just wanting to check it out and look at it or listen to it...

Very rare--not another one in the Indianapolis area that we have ever seen, which is pretty cool too...

Love that car...

Thanks! It's going to be a tough decision.

sho-one · 03-01-2011, 07:42 AM

Jason,
after much debate and I finally pulled the trigger and bought a 08 z4m coupe. I decided that coming from an s2000, a pure two seated would be more to my liking. Plus it's 20k$+ cheaper, better looking IMO, and more unique. I've always wanted a z4mc, even when I had my e46 m3 i was looking to trade for it. Looks like I'm back to the good old s54, which made my f22c feel less special.

Good luck with your decision, i have no regrets....yet lol. The 1m is a awesome car, but financially and emotionally I choose to get the z4m coupe.

M3 Adjuster · 03-01-2011, 08:22 AM

A friend of mine really killed me when he commented that one can buy a 135 and a z4m for the price of a well optioned 1M. And yet, I still want a 1M. Sigh. But the economics of it really are tough when one puts it in the terms of what else one could have.

sho-one · 03-01-2011, 03:21 PM

Yeah, I recently freed up some cash flow and it was sort of a blessing when BMW was non-response to military sales. My options were to wait till November on chance the 1m would be allocated, buy a m3 (too large and unenvolve), or search for a used z4m. The aprox three hundred a month savings from going this route allows me to enjoy life more.

Lol who knows, I will be watching the used car market in the future...

I hear ya. I'm having a blast with mine. It amazes me more day after day. And when I press the "button", hold on baby, I just pissed the car off!!

Thanks for the feedback sho-one! I've seen a Z4 M coupe each day for the last few days like it's taunting me or something.

Mark, that's exactly what I had been thinking about. Keeping the 135 and getting a Z4M would be the logical and/or rational choice monetarily speaking, but a Euro Delivery trip with a 1M would be so much fun.

The M Coupe is a Sexy Sports car

Jason, a Z4M would sure be a nice addition... I dont see too many here in the metro area..... Very unique design.... Reminds me a little of my old Z3 coupe... Loved that car.. Wish i wouldn't have sold it

1SerieStud · 03-27-2011, 10:30 AM

Congrats and I must say: I.Am.Jealous. I have wanted one of these for a while and have never really bumped into one for sale locally as they are so uncommon! Enjoy your awesome whip!

I'd wait for a test drive of the 1MC. My Z is the most fun and most capable car that I've ever owned. I'm going to test drive the 1, but I don't see myself spending 20K o top of a trade while losing the Z.
