Love this car
Well I've had the coupe for a year now and can't get over how much I love it. Feels great to own a car that still stirs me emotionally just as much today as it did 12 months ago.
What I love most is the exclusivity. I spent the weekend up in Portland, Oregon and didn't see a single one the entire time. In fact, I haven't seen a single other coupe in the past 12 months. I saw Teslas, Bentleys, Ferraris countless Porsches etc etc, but not a single coupe. I know, some of you are probably laughing but you have to admit the coupes are head turners. Now, if this damn N52 would idle smoothly and stop throwing codes I'd be in great shape. |

Hey Asianoak,
I live in Portland, drivin a red coupe. You're right, there are none up here. There used to be a dark grey one... gorgeous car, but haven't seen it around for a while. Are you going on the Leavenworth Drive? |

I was dating a girl up there when I first bought the car and she used to drive it most of the time... she would send me pics whenever she saw another one, that's why I thought I might actually see some. Oh well, nice to stand out from the ever widening sea of 3 and 5 series. |

Hey Asianoak,
Some how I didn't see your reply until just now even though I'm on here every day. The Leavenworth Drive happened on June 14th. It's a ton of fun. There are some great vids on youtube "Leavenworth Drive" is all you need to find a bunch. Gery |

That's too bad that it's already passed. But I'll check out the videos for sure. There's always next year.

I live in OC, CA and have only seen one other one other than at the track. Told my friend how rare they were and they keep seeing them... Maybe I am too focused on the thrill of driving this car.
OP for more thrill drive the M.

Where in OC do you mostly hang out? I hardly seen any coupe around. I've seen a black one running around UCI, but that's about it.

I gotta admit, I saw a Z Coupe parked on the way home the other day and I was pissed.
This car is awesome... definitely something special.

That's funny... I grew up in Cypress. I would think you'd see quite a few more coupes down there than we see up here in the P Northwest. BMWs were the Honda Civic of Orange County when I lived there.... guess that would make the Z the uhm... S2000?

I'm up in Bend now, Redmond to be exact and there's at least one M roadster here... But no coupes. Was in Medford over the holiday weekend and my indie said there are a few M roadsters and one M coupe down there. So shocked you're not seeing more in good ol Cypress. Although down there it did always seem like everybody was just trying to be like everybody else and not trying to be unique... Hence the thousands of 3 series and zero e86s.
