He's a nice guy and have actually met him before, but I don't believe it was him. The m coupe that day had a dove interior. F360c's has cardinal - so unless he had a different one or he changed it then probably not.

Previously had a g35 coupe....after it got totalled i was on the hunt for the car i always wanted.....an E46 M3 (preferably laguna seca blue)

while searching for an M3 on different forums i came accross someone selling their bs m coupe. Honestly i didnt even know they made an M version or a coupe version of the z4...i just never saw them around. (roadsters were never in my radar because i didnt like how they looked with the top up) I continued looking for that perfect m3, but for some reason i kept going back to the post of the black sapphire m coupe. Before i knew it i was completely set on getting one and forgot all about the aspired lsb m3. As soon as I saw one on the market that met my expectations i pulled the trigger and found me my daily

i find it funny when people ask why i didnt pick something more practical. I tell them THIS IS PRACTICAL! im young, dont have kids yet, and my taxes say im single...i dont need more than 2 seats.

M3s are to all-season tires as Z4Ms are to racing slicks. You don't get maximum practicality OR maximum thrill in an M3. On days when I'm using the M3 to be practical, I doubt I'll feel the urge to flog it around corners with kids and/or grandma in the backseat.

When I need something practical, I'll get a cheap(er) SUV. Best of both worlds.

When I first joined Bimmerforums back in 07 there was a member who took pictures and happened to have a black m coupe. I remember thinking it was such an awesome idea for a car (the m3 without the practicality) but did not think I would own one for a long time.

Luckily 2 years ago I found one for under $27k and swoooped it!

I just got done putting new wheels, new tires and blacking out (carbon fiber) all the roundels and tinting the headlights and rear lights on mine. If I thought I was love with the car then... Now, all I want to do is drive, hard to leave it sitting there alone in the dark parking lot...
