Dorkfest 2012 Preview

5 of us met up at Gary’s shop in North Hollywood, Minicorsa, for a while before heading further north to the hotel in Camarillo. Thanks for letting us stop by, Gary! We’re at the hotel now, where there are 19 Coupes spread across the lot. I’d post a photo, but you wouldn’t be able to see much. Looking forward to Dorkfest tomorrow! Like the Coupe Cartel and Dorkfest.org page on Facebook for more photos of the event and other Coupe related goodness.

2002 M Coupe | Sapphire Black | Kiwi/Black

2002 M Coupe | Sapphire Black | Kiwi/Black

 

This M Coupe was posted on pistonheads.com by Silas Benaiah of Hertfordshire, United Kingdom with 77k miles for £16,495 (~$25,874 USD). This is only the 3rd Kiwi/Black M Coupe I’ve ever seen. While the other two I posted were Phoenix Yellow, this Sapphire Black M Coupe better compliments the Kiwi leather. Kiwi is closest compared to the Gray/Black leather that I had on my 2nd Coupe, but with a green tint to the sections that would otherwise be Gray. I think it looks best with monochrome paints such as Titanium Silver, Sapphire Black, and Alpine White. Given that I’ve only seen it with Phoenix Yellow, and Sapphire Black paint, I believe it was only available for 2001 and 2002 for the S54 engined Ms — much like Laguna Seca Blue leather.

1999 Z3 Coupe | Hellrot Red | Beige

1999 Z3 Coupe | Hellrot Red | Beige
 
This Z3 Coupe was posted for sale on eBay by tango_feroz of Seattle, Washinton with 140,500 for $10,900, or best offer. The first image from the listing, and the first one in this post, is what caught my attention. It’s a great shot. The Coupe appears to be all stock, aside from the Style 224 wheels from a Z4 (19×8 ET42, 19×9 ET30).

2000 M Coupe | Imola Red | Imola/Black

2000 M Coupe | Imola Red | Imola/Black

 

This M Coupe was posted on bmw-syndikat.de by sergevermeulen of Soleuvre, Luxembourg. This sunroof delete, Imola/Imola M Coupe would be a pretty rare bird in NA with only 13 specced just like it. With 2,178 LHD S50 M Coupes, and 2,180 LHD S52 M Coupes, I’d imagine the distribution would be somewhat similar. It appears to be all stock. At didn’t catch the plate at first glance, but it’s pretty cool – MZ 32000.

Spotted: S52B32 M Coupe | Imola Red | Imola/Black

Spotted: S52B32 M Coupe | Imola Red | Imola/Black | Tualitin, Oregon

 

As I was headed to the airport on Monday, I spotted a Coupe in Tualitin, OR. This time we were headed the same direction. It was an Imola over Imola/Black with flat M badges and non-chrome trimmed headlights, making it a 1999 or 2000 with an S52 under the hood. The Roadstars seem to be darker than the Hyper Silver but brighter than Chrome Shadow, so I’m guessing they have been refinished. It was pretty cool seeing 2 Coupes in the same weekend while I was in Oregon. That’s more than I’ve seen in Phoenix in a year.
