Look at you go Wes,lol. Already easy to spot and you've only had your coupe for a few months. Funny how our eyes notice things more when we are involved isn't it ?

No kidding Vinny! It's ironic that I was just telling my neighbor who was in the truck with me that my coupe was pretty rare and low and behold we run right into an identical coupe on the way home right in the same area as my place. Go figure...

Spotted a Space Gray MZ4 Coupe with plate EAUTO 1 heading West bound on the 60 just past the 57 Interchange.

On my Stromung exhaust's maiden voyage I found a twin at La Jolla Village shopping center.

itdnwiwbp · 09-10-2012, 09:03 AM

On the way home from Nein! Nein! autocross yesterday I saw a space grey M coupe getting on 163 at Friars road. I was in my M coupe and my fiance was in front of me in my Z4 coupe.

The HACK · 09-14-2012, 10:16 AM

Maybe it's the Rowland Heights/Walnut/Industry area...

Spotted a Titanium Silver MZ4 Coupe last night on Fairway going onto 60 West bound around 6:30pm. Waved to the driver but I don't think he can saw me.

Saw a Gray m coupe today turning onto anton from the freeway exit for avenue of the arts. I was in my roadster and flashed my headlights at you.

Then saw a black m coupe on bristol turning into the hotel just south of the 405. I was in my TDI and did nothing.

The black M coupe was me (CSL wheels & RE Diablos).

I don't understand why I only see Z4Ms when I'm NOT in mine...

I guess I'll be seeing a lot more of you now that I sold the z.

Haha! Before I sold my M3 it seemed like I was always in the wrong car to wave at either an E36 M3 or a Z4M.

Spotted a white M Coupe on Pomerado Road/Miramar Rd. headed west crossing over the 15 Freeway at 5:57pm. Might have had CSL style wheels but I'm not sure. Of course I was not in my M Coupe.

U have two coupes? You addict!

Hehe. Addict, yes. However, as of two weeks ago I'm down to just the M (not counting my fiance's ZHP). The Z4 was only at the autocross to try to get some advertising exposure...didn't work. Carmax is now enjoying the car.

Jumbosock · 10-04-2012, 03:37 PM

Come on!!! I'm driving my M coupe almost daily!

The HACK · 10-09-2012, 01:13 PM

Man it really must have been the new work location (Walnut). Spotted a white 3.0Si Coupe today on the 60 W.

That makes for the 3rd Coupe spotted within a single month.

OG_M3 · 10-09-2012, 04:06 PM

silver m coupe at California speedway on oct 7th. looks like it had some apex arc8 wheels and was dropped as well.

So that was your car parked between the two blue BRZ/FRS twins, nice! I thought about getting the BRZ, but I'll wait it out a bit to see if there will be any issues with the car.

I did a 1:58.2 that day.

yup, that was me!

as far as issues, all i have heard are the rough idle stories and some cel's having to do with the cam sprocket i think? other than that, there are some minor quality control issues (rattles, creaks, panel gaps, condensation in head/tailights).

they are great little cars-barely useable backseat-but enough to hold stuff for a track day. kinda slow though, could use an extra 25-35hp.

Blue M Roadster, top down, corner of Black Mountain Rd and Twin Trails, Thur the 11th around 3 PM.

Suddenly seeing Zs in the hood! Black facelift roadster, female driver, Oct 17 6:30 AM driving south on Black Mountain Road and then west on Miramar Road.
