Z4MCoupeBuyersGuide.com is live!
Some of you may be familiar with http://www.mcoupebuyersguide.com. A site made by Jon Martin to help potential Clownshoe buyers make purchases. He tracks listings of all the Z3 M Coupes currently for sale puts them in one place with his own comments and insights.We met a few months back through a business partner of mine who has a Z3 M Coupe. He mentioned he was looking for a way to get a Z4 M equivalent up and running and I eagerly volunteered to help.
Check out the current listings here . Right now there are a few interesting cars for sale. Being the Monaco Blue, Sepang Bronze, and Imola/Dark Sepang cars. A few low mileage cars demanding a surprisingly small premium over the average price of $30,654. And a couple cars $24,000 and lower. You can search by color combo, year, options, etc. Feel free to comment on the site layout and performance as it is a new layout being tested by Jon. We look forward to this collaboration as it is the first of his Car Enthusiast Guides to be run by someone other than himself.

Nice site, and I love the z3mcoupe site too, but just a question, do you proof read what the owners of the cars say under the description of their car ad?
If you don't, possibly you should. 5 or sixth add down says nice coupe with V6 power. Come on mate, only enthusiast would read this site and there is nothing worse than (thought to be) enthusiast listing their cars and don't even know what bloody engine is in their much beloved car. Removes any credibility the site may have. Makes me fume and I am not even in the market for an Mcoupe. Anyways love the site, keep it up : ) |

Too bad there is no roadster version of this site, or a sub page for those of us who may be looking for a Z4M roadster.

Great job with the site. There sure are allot for sale. I know this is a new site and you asked for comments. It would be cool to have more info about these special cars and or some links to additional info.
I especially like the VIN Lookup. I found some interesting stats on my car as shown below: Year: 2007 Exterior Color: Interlagos Blue Metallic Interior Color: Black Nappa Production Date: Tuesday, October 17, 2006 Approximate Order Produced: 503 Engine: S54 Production Stats: Total Number in 2007 Model Year: 1188 (#126 produced*) Total Number in Interlagos Blue Metallic: 297 (#106 produced*) Total Number with Black Nappa Interior: 1005 (#232 produced*) Total Number with Black Nappa Trim: 954 (#289 produced*) Total Number in Interlagos Blue Metallic over Black Nappa: 165 (#51 produced*) Total Number in Interlagos Blue Metallic over Black Nappa with Carbon Leather Trim: 87 (#31 produced*) Total Number in Interlagos Blue Metallic over Black Nappa with Carbon Leather Trim in 2007 Model Year: 50 (#5 produced*) |

A few comments now that I had time to click around:
I think if you are going to rate these cars, you should be consistent, and perhaps explain the criteria. For instance, the black/dark sepang coupe in VA is 1 of 2 per your criteria, and is given a 4-star rating for rarity, while the imola/sepang coupe is 1 of 3 yet you gave it 5 stars, and the black/light sepang extended got 3 stars..? Also, condition ratings without actually seeing the car seem difficult at best - perhaps you should add commentary as to why you scored them as you did. I suspect that most M coupes are well-maintained, even the higher mileage ones. Just remember while you are providing a service for the community and the potential buyers, that you don't want to harm their sale either I'm glad someone put this together though - now I just have to browse one site looking for potential upgrades =) |

I give the condition rating based on the seller's knowledge of their car along with the info and photos provided. I add commentary if I see anything out of the norm. Thank you, I'm doing my best to keep it neutral and better for both buyer and seller. There was a new listing on Cars.com for a black/black coupe in Socal with just a couple pics and a phone number. I called the seller to get more info and he was resistant to give a VIN, which raised some red flags but is understandable. However he did say that for Z4MCbuyersguide the asking price could be cut to $25,000. Maybe today someone will go on the site and become a Z4MC owner from that bargain |

- the premium package adds a ton of items over the base car - heated seats - navigation - extended leather For me the premium package and heated seats were must haves... Great job on the guide! I hope a Z4 M Roadster version makes an appearance as well. |

I'm using Chrome, and find the back arrow to go back to the sale listings is not working. Site seems to be running slow.
