Your not the only one in cornwall, I have One too! Never seen another M On the Road or Parked up.
There are a couple of 3.0 Si's in Falmouth, other than thats its the usual 2.0/3.0 Roadsters.

I saw a black roady about 4 years ago but that's it apart from at forum meets. Having said that I don't travel far for work so it's probably not surprising. Often see the odd non M Zed, more roady's than coupes though.

They are a rare sight. I suppose a lot are not daily drivers anymore (mine isn't) so not so many miles being driven. On Autotrader for sale right now there's a roadster within 3 miles of me and a coupe within 1 mile and I have never seen either of them.

I regularly see a manky old Monaco blue M with some dodgy bloke behind the wheel ..........pulling up on my drive for his next upgrade :rofl: , with a bit of extra work I expect I can get it up to a Imola red standard , just a shame it's got so many miles on it :poke:

Their rarity is what makes them so special I suppose. I cant recall when I've seen another on the road, though there are two others at my place of work; a bronze M coupe (fellow forum member ITAG) and a black M roady.

Strange I was just thinking about this the other day. I can honestly say since I've own mine (nearly 2 years now) I haven't seen a M on the road at all. Typically I will see 1-3 normal zeds on a decent journey but never an M

Have met up with a few Zeds down Falmouth way, on PH runs in, recent years. Nice Black one on the Lizard I recall. 8)

The SWPH guys have a run on in a few weeks time, 28th May. Sign up here if you can make it.

Since I bought mine (and I'm properly looking out them), I've seen none! I've seen a couple Z3MC'S though and I always thought they were rarer. I've seen a few 3.0i coupes though, blalck, silver/grey and blue.

About the same number of MC's and MR's built.

Far fewer 3ltr coupes than 3ltr roadies though. Mainly because the 3ltr Roadie was available pre face lift and none of the others were. Simples. :wink:

Except pvr, because he sold his to me. And still misses it :P

I suppose that's to be expected when you've moved onto a vw beetle :wink:
