This M Coupe was submitted by Hans Winkler of Regensburg, Germany. I’ve posted photos of Hans’ Coupe before, it’s a great looking Coupe! Mods include: KW V3 suspension, 18″ Style 67 E46 M3 wheels, 15mm (F), 20mm (R) spacers, PFC-06 Brake Pads, Goodridge SS brake lines, and Powerflex bushings, and looking at the interior photo it appears that he has an Alcantara wrapped shift knob, a rewrapped steering wheel, aluminum pedals, and an aftermarket head unit.

I was headed home from work yesterday, as I approached the left turn lane headed towards the freeway, of all things, a Coupe pulled into the lane next to me. I nearly broke my neck trying to catch a glimpse of the Coupe. I was pretty surprised to see a Coupe on the road locally, as it’s been over a year since I had seen another. Luckily the Coupe pulled into the right most turn lane to the onramp and continued onto Loop 101 westbound. We were both snapping photos of the other Coupe. Traffic slowed a bit and we both rolled our windows down. The lady driving the Coupe shouted over the freeway noise “I love the color! Did you get yours in Germany?!” I told her I bought it in PA and asked when they bought theirs. She said “2003”. Traffic started to pick up, so I moved along admiring the Coupe as I pulled ahead with traffic. I could see chrome trim ringed headlights, and chrome trimmed kidney grille slats, so I knew it was a 2000+ making the color Titanium Silver rather than Arctic Silver. At one point when the Coupe was ahead of me I could see the 3.0 badge on the hatch. It also had a sunroof, but I’m curious if it was manual or auto. The only mod I could see on the Coupe was that the windows were tinted. It must have been somewhat of a sight for the surrounding traffic to see 2 E36/8s side by side.
If you guys spot a Coupe, and can snap some pics, please send them in!

This M Coupe was posted on autogespot.com by Ferrari Fan after spotting it in Culemborg, Netherlands. Based upon what is visible, this sunroof delete Coupe is all stock. The Roadsars appear to be Chrome Shadow, which leads me to believe this is an 01 or 02 with an S54 under the hood. There are said to have been only 284 LHD European S54 M Coupes produced. That said this must be a pretty rare color and option combo for the market. In the US there were 678 S54 M Coupes produced, of which 19 were Imola over black (183 total Imola/Black), with only 1 of them sold without a sunroof. It’s possible that this is not an S54 M Coupe, but given what I can see in the photos, I believe it is. If you happen to recognize the Coupe, or it’s plate (46-NZ-JB), please post in the comments.

To celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary and my wife’s 30th birthday, we left the kids with our family and drove the Coupe to Las Vegas for a long weekend. I prepared for a variety of potential issues with the Coupe, but we were very fortunate to have none at all. The Coupe was an excellent road trip car, and very comfortable for the 5 hour drive. Not that I should be surprised as we bought my first M Coupe from Rowland Heights, CA and drove it home. The bulk of the drive to Las Vegas is a 2 lane highway through scenic desert with lots of opportunity to enjoy the drive. Friday on the way up to Vegas though, we were stuck behind a caravan of RVs that were poking along 5-10 under the speed limit. As soon as there was a passing lane open, we easily blasted past the slow traffic. We stopped for some quick photos in Nothing, AZ, mostly because of the irony of the name. We had a great trip, and a good warm up for our drive to Dorkfest in August!

This M Coupe was posted on mad4wheels.com among a gallery of a 2006 Z4 M Coupe. My brother tipped me off to these photos, which had been posted on another site, but seem to have originated on mad4wheels.com. It’s always interesting seeing the M Coupe and a Z4 M Coupe side by side. I like the general profile of the Z4 M Coupe, but the transition from the fender to the door kills it for me. It looks like the sunken cheeks of a meth addict. 😉 I’m also not a fan of the front end. It’s so “squarish”, almost flat. The wide kidney grilles look off to me as well, especially compared to the original M Coupe kidney grilles. Something about the taillights looks off to me, too, but I can’t really say what it is. Holistically, I like the overall design of the Z4 M Coupe, but I’m just being nitpicky about the other design elements. That, and I’m a diehard E36/8 fanatic, and love the entire design of the Clown Shoe. Based upon the chrome trim ringed headlights, chrome trimmed kidney grille slats, curved M badges, and Chrome Shadow Roadstars this is an 01 or 02 M Coupe with an S54 under the hood. I wasn’t certain whether the interior color was Black or Estoril/Black, so I searched around for the GBZ 3 plate shown on the Coupe in these photos. I found photos of the same Coupe in an issue of BMW Car magazine which showed an Estoril/Black interior posted on z3mcoupe.com.
