Certainly some polarizing statements in that article for folks on here but here's hoping it's mostly accurate. Not that I have my coupe and barely drive it with it being valuable in the future in mind.

There are so many M-car reviews available either in writing or on video, but the Z4 M Coupe is often missing or overlooked. I don't know why, maybe it's suppose to be 'the best kept secret' until everyone wants one...

Nice read. While I did not buy the Z4M coupe in 2007 due to hopes for future collectability, I do think that this will be such a car given low production numbers, manual only, S54, last analogue BMW, etc. This opinion will have no effect on how often I drive the car. It won't be for sale.

Little did they realize that once the enthusiasts bought it, no one else wanted a no-nonsense, little frills BMW 2 seat sport car. Their bread and butter is still in converting Civics and Camry drivers into buying the sporty luxury brand image. Even the original M Coupe, the Z3 M Coupe, sold in very low quantities. Despite all the performance promises of a super stiff, short wheel based sports car...Once the small percentage of enthusiasts snatched it up, no body wanted it. That's why as early as 2007 (barely 1 year after production started) BMW were throwing $10,000 trunk cash on the car to move it. Imagine, for those that bought in 2007 or 2008 that still own the car, in 8 years it's only depreciated about 30% because they were being sold for ~$45,000. The actual margin on this chassis was insanely high due to practically ZERO tooling cost involved.

But that's just me
As super cool as the coupe is, I am a roadster person and I normally drive it on top-down days, and I live in a top down climate. I have owned a number of "collectibles" but I seem to wear them out before they became valuable. Wouldn't mind the M roadster tho.

The Z3 and Z4 coupes are certainly more collectible, but I'm with you.
I can't see ever having a hard top here in SoCal. The wind in my hair. The bees in my teeth.

I think coupes and roadsters are both excellent cars to keep long term. If you look at roadsters (many manufacturers) with classic lines, they don't really get dated like other cars. The coupe is similar. It's shape is iconic, it's rare. Our cars don't look like they are approaching a decade or more old the way a typical model does.
It's rare that I can get out of my roadster at a gas station or in a parking lot that someone doesn't pay me a compliment about my car. I still maintain the best thing is to own both a coupe and a roadster. Or an M2 and a roadster. ;-) Salty

And I have been somewhat surprised when people have come up to me and gushed over the cars appearance. Honestly, I didn't buy it for that but... And finally I like to think that the E89 is both a roadster and a coupe. I have a long track record (accidental) of wanting and owning cars that most people don't appreciate, but which become very valuable , so hang in there everyone. |

my wife keeps asking me what I plan to do with my Z4MC since I haven't driven it much the last 8 months.
me: i'm not selling it. I might never get to own another one again for a reasonable price. |

The M coup does have a very unique look, gives the feel of a Supercar. When I bought my 07 Z4M Roadster, I didnt realize there was a coupe version until I looked at the manuals. Enjoying the Breeze at the moment but will probably will trade in for a Coupe in a few years.
