My M Coupe

Just a few quick pictures of my 2007 BMW M Coupe, as some people asked about it when I first got it. To recap, it's Sapphire Black with Black interior and Carbon leather trim, with Premium Package and heated seats. Tomorrow it goes in for it's 1200-mile service, after which I can gradually start using the upper rev range. Next week, I'm hoping to have the diff gears swapped for the Dinan 3.91:1 set. After that will be the aero kit side skirts and CSL-style wheels with Michelin PS2s.

Ya know, I honestly wouldn't have minded the reflectors on the wheel wells, like on the non-Ms. Yep, that's got to go - I figure I'll have the same shop that does my side skirts do the reflectors.

No, until last week I owned a 325i and a Z4 2.5i, both 2003s, both black. I sold my 325 last but I'm thinking I might trade in my Z4 on a 330i ZHP as a daily driver (or a 530i, or a X3 3.oi...). I held on to the roadster because I figured it'd be a tough sell this time of year in Chicago...

EP,
I used to have a 2004 330i ZHP, silver gray 6 speed with black leather, and carbon trim.
I regret trading the car in. Excellent choice as a DD

Congrats on the new car.... the fun really starts after 5000rpm! If you are looking for a good price on the aero side skirts get in touch with Circle BMW. They had the bet price I was able to find..... mine should be here on saturday!

You and your brother have had yours for a while and never did the side skirts, I figured you were against them. Thanks for the tip about Circle.

No I have always wanted them but the problem lies in that I am on a student budget. So my mod money and my partying money are the same thing....for the last year partying has been getting the larger share of the budget! That is going to change this semester though as I think mods would be a better investment instead of pissing my money down the urinal!
