Spotted in Gent, Belgium during the autofans.be Meetup. They both appear to be 99s given the non-chrome trimmed kidney grille slats, which would indicate an S50 under the hood.
Double M Coupe Spot

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

Spotted: M54B30 Z3 Coupe | Oxford Green | Walnut
While vacationing in Lincoln Beach, Oregon with my family, I spotted this Z3 Coupe (Oregon plate: ZRX 985) stopped at a light as was passed on the US-101. I had been hoping to see a Coupe while we were up here, and was pleasantly surprised yesterday as we were headed home. I was able to quickly snap a few photos as we passed. It appears to be an all stock 2001 or 2002 Z3 Coupe with Oxford Green paint, and what looks like Walnut leather. A great combo, I might add! This is the second Coupe I’ve seen in the 8 or so years we’ve been vacationing here. Both in Newport, OR, one of the larger cities on the coast. The first was a Steel Gray over Black M Coupe.

Spotted: M54B30 Z3 Coupe | Titanium Silver | Black
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!
