My new Interlagos Blue M Coupe

bignosejim · 12-16-2011, 10:28 AM

Hi all, Just picked up a new to me 2007 M Coupe from Maryland and drove it back to Texas. The whole process of buying an out of state car involved a lot of research, but it was WELL worth it. I can't believe I made it from Maryland to Texas without license plates on the car without getting stopped by any police. I had to get a temporary registration that allowed me one trip back home, insurance and a call to all the states I was traveling through to make sure I was legal. Here are some pics.

These first few are from when I picked up the Coupe at the beginning of the trip

Here is an essential item anyone visiting the east coast from Texas must bring back with them.

Congrats. Looks soooo good when clean!!! Makes me even more sad that my Interlagos M Coupe headed off to it's new owner yesterday. Enjoy it!!!!

I think that overlay on the steering wheel has to go.

bignosejim · 12-16-2011, 10:36 AM

Fixed. Just a beginner at this.

Interesting exhaust modification...

mikeinsf · 12-16-2011, 01:51 PM

What pipes are on there? I like.

Finnegan · 12-16-2011, 01:55 PM

Those are custom Aero Turbine cans with single tips the owner prior had installed. (I searched around a bit here on this.)

This looks like it's another option to the Magnaflow cans option, and it's easy enough to add dual tips. (The only thing being that when Dinan did their muffler for the S65 they found a straight through design droned like hell with active dual tips, and went with a single active tip and one fake tip to drastically reduce drone.)

Jim, looks like I'm not the only one interested in this setup! Maybe a sound clip isn't a bad idea after all.

Encyclopedic!

+1 ... please

I have an AreoTurbine on my F-150. Everyone thinks the sound is really cool. Not loud or excessively mean, just great.

gtMc · 12-16-2011, 05:32 PM

Congrats!! It looks excellent. I too like the tips, and your taste in beer... Musta been a great drive back home.

Shipkiller · 12-16-2011, 05:37 PM

Let the modding begin.

Thanks, it was a joy to drive back home. It's been a few years since I've had a Yeungling lager (can't get that in Texas, even shipped).

Shipkiller · 12-17-2011, 07:44 AM

You might be able to in the near future. Yeungling is building a second brewery on the west coast.

The GoodyGoody in Fort Worth off of 820 has it occasionally...at least they did last winter.

bignosejim · 12-17-2011, 09:10 PM

thanks, I'll have to keep that in mind after I run out from my two cases.

Kgolf31 · 12-17-2011, 09:25 PM

Nice Pick-up!

Yueng just got here in Ohio, and I'm enjoying everything about it.

jumpthewire · 12-17-2011, 09:48 PM

Nice car! (and beer) I was born in pottsville pa, home of "yinglin"! Hope that west coast brewery talk is true!

Shota15 · 12-18-2011, 01:33 PM

Congrats on the IB coupe, must have been a fun ride back to Texas

TexasZed4MC · 12-18-2011, 01:51 PM
