Grey E85 this afternoon behind us on the road from Bala up to the A5. We were in the family bus, lovely afternoon and the roof up

Silver/grey M this morning, heading to Witney, gave you a flash.

Get your top down, it’s not raining

Close but no cigar .. 2189 Si Coupes plus 592 M Coupes = 2781

So only 2500 out
I think he was closer with 270 than 2781
It’s been done to death on this forum

The number registered in the U.K. quoted by me IS accurate

The way third party sites such as “how many left” record them ISNT

This:

put together by a member on here lists every one sold worldwide plus all their factory specifications, put a couple of filters in and you can see the exact number registered in the U.K.

Yes and the main reason being is that there are lots of allocations of the Coupe under different classifications, you need to add the different ones up such as Z4 SI Sport, Z4 SE etc. Such a common mistake (I had to correct someone on FB too) that is made not only on Z4s but on so many other marques too. Apparently according to the site when I had my ST205 Celica GT4 I was one of 3 owners in the UK ... which was interesting as I had a photo of a meet with 15 cars there

Would be kinda cool to know if I've been spotted while out and about, but there's no way of knowing, unfortunately.

Very nice dark blue or black UK 3.0SI roadster (**57 ZZZ) spotted trundling down the French Riviera in Sainte Maxime yesterday. Minus points for having the roof up in the sunshine though… Have seen quite a lot of EU E85s here albeit mostly low spec/ ropey

Correct. However this very useful database doesn't include pre facelift numbers, certainly for the 3.0i SE roadster. I checked with tonyz4c, so I had to contact BMW to establish exact numbers for my research.

Lovely looking Red e86 3.0si at Cobham services on the M25 yesterday at around 2pm.

Nice E86 M drove down the high street earlier today through St Margarets towards the A316.

Driving up from Paignton sea front having had a look at the waves this afternoon, saw a Sterling grey E85 coming the other way. To late to wave as we were on a bend and he had his roof up
