My Carbon Schwartz M Coupe

The__J__Factor · 11-08-2008, 11:21 PM

Here are some pics of my M coupe, the pics are nothing special just using the dodgy camera.
Color is Carbon Schwartz Metallic, it is a very very dark blue with a nice shine in the sun light. So far it is stock but hopefully now that im rapping up my uni degree and finding a decent new jobs lots of mods will come.

Awesome car awesome color!

Gonna make a lot of American owners jealous with that color

epbrown · 11-09-2008, 03:56 AM

Nice, but the shot you use for your sig is better.

70RTY · 11-09-2008, 04:24 AM

Looks good mate! I will keep an look out for the black beast. Maybe we should organise a run through Beechmont some day?

The__J__Factor · 11-09-2008, 05:11 AM

Took me a while to find where i had this pic saved.
None of the pics are really showing off the color properly + my lack of photographic skills isnt helping either.
Here is the pic from my sig. Enjoy!

The__J__Factor · 11-09-2008, 10:46 PM

wow eagle eyes lol

Will change tires when i change rims don't have enough money to do it just yet.

jamboMR · 11-09-2008, 11:48 PM

Hey The J Factor that is an awesome car! I am originally from the Gold Coast, nice to see somebody from my old neighborhood has bought one while I've been away

It was a rare enough treat to see an E46 M3 last I lived there ('04/05) I can't imagine the looks of simultaneous drooling and confusion you get from people driving about town in that!

The__J__Factor · 11-10-2008, 01:47 AM

^ Thanks mate, i do indeed get some interesting looks. Even professional looking people stop and have a look in the car park.
Yep so far ive only seen 1 other M Coupe around here, No M Roadsters and very few Z4s in general. Nice and rare

modbargains · 11-12-2008, 04:59 PM

Maybe it's just me but I see two different tires in the rear?

The__J__Factor · 11-12-2008, 06:47 PM

^ haha yes out of all the things people can say they are spotting the 1 off tire.
Im not sure why 1 was replaced with a different tire. It was like that when i bought the car 2 months ago.

symesz4m · 11-12-2008, 09:36 PM

Hey J factor
I Live on the Gold Coast as well and I have an Alpine white Z4M Coupe (also at uni too)
pretty coincidental if you ask me haha.
how are you enjoying it?
I've been lucky enough to own a few different cars in my short life, namely because of my parents haha. It started with a fully worked Cooper S, then a MK4 R32 Golf, then a 130i BMW and now the Z4M.
the Z4m is by far a dream combination, it has grunt, good looks and is still small without suffering the shortcomings of driving a hatch haha.
anyway its good to hear of someone similar to me living close by.
cya round

The__J__Factor · 11-13-2008, 12:20 AM

^ you dont happen to have a white M coupe with M sport decals and Swifty number plates do you?
Final uni test is 2moro and then im done and graduate in December

Do you know any BMW clubs that do track days or drives around here?

Deda · 11-13-2008, 03:01 AM

sweet!

marcus1701 · 11-13-2008, 03:41 AM

very nice

The__J__Factor · 11-13-2008, 05:27 AM

Hey Deda you really in Croatia my parents are Yugo, not sure exactly where from since my mum was born here in Oz and dad has been here since he was like 8yrs old.

symesz4m · 11-13-2008, 04:46 PM

No thats another guys, I actually think the stripe looks hideous,
I have only seen two others besides mine, one Intergalos Blue M Coupe, and the White one you mentioned above with the BMW Sauber Motorsport stipes on it. so yours and mine makes four M Coupes on the coast, and like you said, I havent seen a single M Roadster down here.
Well your pretty lucky, I still have a whole year to go at uni haha.
How old are you and what uni did you go to?
And as for knowing of any clubs, your best bet is to probably ask Bruce Lynton BMW, they will probably know of some.
Cheers

The BMW Club of Qld run some track days etc. I think the Gold Coast may even have its own BMW Club chapter.

I went on a track day recently with these guys www.smiddycent.com

You can check out some photos at the above site. (my car in pic titled firing line and another four rows up)

The__J__Factor · 11-14-2008, 03:31 AM

That looks like a nice mix of cars

Love the color of your car mate. Hopefully ill be out on the track some time soon.

Gotta go see Motorline BMW sometime next week, my glove box basically dropped to the floor when i opened it today so will have to get them to fix it.
