Hi Guys!
My name's Keith, thought I would introduce myself as I'm in the market for a M Coupe and what better place to get a feel for the model than here.
I'm 31, an engineer at Heathrow and live in Taplow (Berkshire). I'm lifetime BMW nut and have been in 6-cylinder models ever since my first car (an E36 328). After a handful of 328s, a 330 Clubsport and an E36 M3, I tried a Z3 M Coupe back in 2009. Fantastic car - raw, fun, unique, quick, beautiful. Mint too, with only 32k on the clock. I loved it, but at the time it was my only car. Eventually the impracticalities of having a pocket-sized 2-seater dictated we parted ways.
Nowadays I run a Golf for daily duties allowing my to keep my BMWs (and my wifes S3) immaculate.
Most recently I have just sold my (genuinely) mint E46 M3 just last week. I had owned it for nearly 3 years and built it to my spec. On top of the fact it had every option, I added BMW Perfromance Brembo 6-pots with CSL discs, Bilstein PSS10 coilovers, Genuine CSL wheels, Suspersprint X-pipe, braided lines everywhere and an immaculate maintenance record to match its FBMSH and low 67k miles. It looked completely stock (no dubious splitters and smoked indicators) but underneath the chassis and performance-centred mods made it very special.
It was truly the best car I have ever owned, the only reason for sale is that my time with it had run it's natural course - I want a new project and ownership experience. I'm also looking to keep my next car near-stock, with only a few choice upgrades to address some of the shortfalls.
That is what brings me here. I LOVE the S54 and the lines of the Z4 Coupe. And now the coupe will be a second car, there are no practicality issues like the Z3 I had years back.
I have a very good budget for the right E86 and will be biding my time waiting for the right one to come up. I know exactly what I want (immaculate paint, sub 45k and most options) and hopefully wont have to wait too long for it!
Looking forward to getting a feel for the community here (I'm no stranger to forums) and hanging out.
Pleasure to meet you all
Keith
And just to satisfy the 'worthless without pics posse' :wink: here are a few images of my previous cars:
