New member- M Coupe Pics

Hi guys, some of you may have seen me around on many other BMW sites, but I decided to check it out over here a tib.

I'm an avid sports car enthusiast and sport bike enthusiast.

I wish I had an incredible collection like some of you members, but I'm only 19, so I'll be working on it after college.

What I do have to show is my dad's 2007 BMW M Coupe, which I luckily get to drive every once in awhile.


Since the photo my dad and I have put a stubby antenna on and removed the ///M badges from the side. We have also installed a Vorsteiner carbon fiber engine cover to replace the OEM piece.


I'll keep posting modifications as they occur in this section.


And for good measure, here is a pic of my favorite past time ride; a 2002 Yamaha R6:



Best regards,

Chase

Thanks, It's actually surprising how close the colors are to eachother; the R6 paint is just a bit brighter but both look awsome and even better in person.

Yep, like I've said, I'm on almost every BMW forum out there under the same username.

Thanks, we love this color, it accentuates the styling perfectly.

And here's a few pics I took today; it was at a German Car Show and the other Blue M Coupe showed up. A spot opened up so I parked next to him. I assure you, you won't see this sight, probably ever again. Right now, M Coupes are more scarce than Ferraris on the road.

This is a hot topic on the M Coupe forums, but we have all come to the conclusion that it's not going to happen.

Yes, the engine will fit, but due to the unexpected low sales of the vehicle, putting a different engine in it isn't going to happen.

yeah, it's more like a wet dream. too bad it isn't selling better, I love the car. hopefully some tuner like hartge puts the engine in it so we can see what it's capable of doing

The Z4MC is considered to be THE most hardcore car that BMW has created in the last 15-20 years. Putting the e92 V8 in it without further modifying the whole setup (which means a lot of extra cost for the R&D department) would be plain suicide.

^The CSL is a track oriented car. Its purpose is to spend 300 days in the track and the rest on road. The Z4MC is a "track car for the road".
