See for yourself there.

You meant this one...

BMW M Coupe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The clown shoe is a modern classic BMW. Especially the S54 powered 315 horse power version. Little beast for sure. The rear view is the sexiest part of it, imo. The fenders stick out like an old 911 turbo.

As far as production is concerned, Wiki has it at 2,870 total M coupes. 690 of which were the S54 powered beasts.

I like them, but Love the the new M Coupes. My wife wants one for quick trips to target. Check out the 2007 M Coupe

My buddies wife has one. I have driven it once and as nice as it was, I don't see the point of it over an e46 M3. The M3 has nearly identical performance figures, a back seat, MUCH better visibility, is way more comfortable and is better looking, imo.

Logically, it doesn't make sense to choose the M coupe over an e46 M3 just like there's isn't a point in picking the X6 over an X5. But the heart wants what the heart wants

I just picked up an '08 Z4MC recently and couldn't get the grin off my face everytime I'm behind the wheel. I don't get the same feeling on an e46 or e92 M3.

I don't see too many Z4MC on the road, even on these BMW filled roads of OC. There are only 4,275 produced worldwide and only 1,815 stayed in North America.

I hear ya. It is a great car and I would agree that it has a different feeling than the e46 M3. It has more of a true sports car feel than the e46 M3. The steering wheel is Chicago deep dish pizza thick and you sit really low in the car. So, I guess I can see why someone would choose it over the e46 M3 afterall. I also have to admit that I would like pretty much any car with an s54 under the hood. I am hoping to join that club by next summer myself.

By the way, my friend got a crazy deal on his M coupe. He bought it after production officially ended and it had been sitting at the dealer for quite some time. Apparently they never really sold that well.

Not a coupe -- but I love my Z3M Roadster:

[Weasel]

At least it's still coupe-like with the turtle top, awesome cars though. I bet top down road course drifting would be amazing!

That red m-coupe at the top of this thread is a local car. It has a supercharged s52.


EDIT:

Jordo, I see you are from Lancaster PA, and have a 2002 X5 4.4, silver with style 87 wheels.

Thanks makes two of us... LOL

When I first saw the picture I was like "Where the hell in PA are there leaves?" LOL. Then checked the date.

Just taking a break from the valley pan on the M62. Not going to lie though, no offense to anyone but, the older M coupes were, well.... Ugly. I remember when they first came out and usually you see a new design on the road, your first instict is, "Wow, that is a sexy lookin' car. look at those lines." But when I saw the M coupe, it looked just nasty?!? I'm sure the little car was quick but that rear end did not appeal to me at all. I much preferred the SLK 32 AMG (Which i have). Wide ass, sleek nose and just classy.

I have to admit though, the Z4M, now that is a WAY better design. That coupe look great. Front looks awesome and just a hint of Ferrari in the back. I wouldn't mind owning one of those.

Hey BMWNA if you are reading this. instead of arguing back and forth about my dead pixel problem and such, how about you just ship me a Z4M and we call it even? It's a fair deal right?
