I watched it go down month after month out of curiousity. Just wanted to see if they had any concept of the market at all.
Yup, that was mine! I sat and watched it go down in price month after month too...and when the snow came and it shot down from $44k to $39k I gave them a hollar. They gave me $2k more than I was expecting to get on my trade-in to seal the deal for me. Couldn't even drive it home when I got it because of an ice storm...they gave me a loaner for a few days until i could come back and take it home.....where it sat until spring!

I bet my wife and I went and saw the thing 10 times over the 2nd half of 2008, glad I was patient...and that no one else wanted the thing....

I had originally gone in that summer to buy a 135i, but simply wasn't impressed. I had decided I either needed to bite the bullet and get an e90 M3, or make my way over to Porsche, but I just couldn't get my head around paying what I'd have to in order to get a Cayman S, when in day to day driving I find the M Coupe more fun anyways.

I do remember seeing that red M Coupe last year, shortly after I picked up mine in Chicago. D&R hadn't had any z4M cars for a long time up to that point and I immediately noticed your car, due to it being a fairly rare SKU for them.
Was it pre-owned? Anywho, glad you got a deal on it.
I have yet to reach the mileage on mine to have the 1200 mile service. Getting close. Have you guys had D&R do this for you? How did it go? Did the valves need tweaking?

maybe we could figure out a Sat AM to all show up for a good dose of M Power for that crowd ;-)
(of course this Sat. doesn't work due to a day trip to Cinci)

Yup, it was preowned. Had 6,200 miles on it. Looked perfect to me.

M motor mounts

new topic for the local Indy crowd. have you heard of the motor mount / bolts issue?

check this link/forum:
http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum...1323066&page=2

What year production run is your car?
mine is 06/06.
They are trying to isolate it down to a production run... so far it looks like a limited number in MY 2007 (?) who knows....
Curious if you have had yours inspected for this issue?

I've been trying to make it out to that Griots event for several years now. Since I'm actually off this Saturday I may try to make it. I should be ashamed to take my car there though since it so badly needs detailing.

RE : your car.

Thank you for the welcome, and I apologize for not making it out there, I didn't realize that someone replied to the thread until today.

I would be down for something like that. I am fairly new to the Indianapolis area, and a new Z owner. Keep me posted if anything comes together.
