How to keep track of Z4Ms on the road?

ZStig · 07-05-2011, 10:51 AM

How do we find out how many z4Ms are currently on the road? Obviously as time passes, some are crashed or destroyed, increasing their rarity

inTgr8r · 07-05-2011, 10:56 AM

That would be interesting to know, but IDK how you would track that data.

ZStig · 07-05-2011, 11:04 AM

You'd probably need access to the department of motor vehicle's registration data, for each state. lol

but you often hear about collector's cars that there are "only x many left on the road today"

Sticky a RIP thread at the top of this forum.

"If you total your e85 or e86 m car - please post year color and vin. Thank you."

Bahaha

If I totaled my Z4M, I sure as hell wouldn't want anyone to know about it. Just sayin...

Unless you planned on rebuilding it - in which case it would still be on the road and the thread wouldn't apply..

If it's out of sheer embarrassment, well that's just dumb since there's a million ways it could have been totaled without it being your fault.

You guys had z4 m's in 2009, 2010, & 2011??

epbrown · 07-05-2011, 02:17 PM

There's www.wreckedexotics.com, which currently shows 5 totaled M Coupes and 1 totaled M Roadster.

Collectively, we're likely the best source, as we're likely the only ones to notice or care and people do tend to mention when it happens. On the coupe side, I can think of 3 right off the bat: Cliff on Bimmerfest rolled his, a teen-aged driver on Bimmerforums rolled his down a hill, and one that was totaled in a race that supported some dog-related charity and had little Milk Bone shaped stickers with names on them all over it.

I said if I, meaning me/myself, totaled it. If it wasn't my fault, I'd be sure to let the whole world know somebody totaled my beloved Z4M.

Even if the car is totaled it may have been salvaged though, so it could still be on the road.

ZStig · 07-05-2011, 03:32 PM

hey, don't complicate this!

92k....wtf?

z4m is a rumor at this point anyways.

Crimson92 · 07-05-2011, 04:49 PM

i wonder what became of my moupe.

jragan · 07-05-2011, 07:24 PM

The Z4 registry has a checkbox for whether or not the car's been totalled.

clashcity74 · 07-05-2011, 09:16 PM

It's unfortunate that data is not easily accessible.

The M Registry would be great if everyone who had an M car would us it.

http://www.bmwmregistry.com/registry.php

Only 105 Coupes and 72 Roadsters registered.

I wish it was a rumor but both BMW dealers I have bought cars from already confirmed this but I will believe it when I see it. They were even talking about getting the new phamplets the end of the year.
