How often do you see another M...?

Post by aarsavage » Wed May 17, 2017 8:31 pm

Only ever seen two.

Red MR when I was in my van and a spotless black MC when I was in my filthy coupe.

Both in Stratford upon Avon.

Never seen another coupe, hav seen one roadster. Not surprising as we probably only got about 15 -20 cars in a province four times the area of Great Britain.

Saw one MC at Goodwood a couple of years ago, and I reckon around one MR per year. That's in 5 years of Z4 ownership.

Does make you wonder how many are on the roads in comparison to say phase 1 987 Porsche Cayman S/Boxster S . They seem ten a penny in comparison! :P

There used to be a MR in my office car park when I had the 3.0si Coupe. Car Co though so high mix of petrol heads.

Also seen 4 or 5 M's since I've had mine since Sept last year. Common as mook around Surrey!

Saw more Ms at Duxford than I expected . . . :D

It's an interesting point though as even seeing a Zed is quite an event; seeing an M is worth pulling over and having a chat :lol:

No only me that thought that then. Mine is grey too - felt like a proper dullard!

There is or was a Imola Red (Now there's a surprise :lol: ) one running around West Sussex, with those horrible chrome wire mesh grills.

Other than that seen one or two each year I would say.

Ha, so it seems most people are the same, in that they rarely see another M. Even some of my mates, who actually quite like cars have asked "so, how does the roof go down on that then?"....thinking all Z4 were convertibles..! :rofl:

I've only ever seen 3 in my entire life.

The first was an Imola Red MR (LAFS***) on the A2 whilst driving my Black 2.5 Si at the time

Then an InterLagos MC in Chelmsford.

3rd was another Imola Red which I now own :-)

Common as muck, someone on here called the Imolas :cry:
