Well, you were very close.
M Z4 Coupe, Z4 M Coupe, or M Coupe would all be correct.

I've owned a couple of Z3 M Roadsters, myself. I was just wondering whether BMW came out with a new model that I hadn't heard of.

By the way; NICE CAR!!!

We inherited a hilltop house with LOTS of parking available (This has hindered hanging on to surplus rides in the past)
03 Mini S getting heavy use whilst more or less permanantly parked on the hill are:
l2004 Caddy SRX awd...Just so we could pass it off as a Cayenne..


2004 GMC Envoy SLT 4wd
93 Saturn coupe (Stout little 37mpg semi beater)
91 35' Winnebago, similar to aircraft carrier with comparable mileage
98 Dodge Ram SLT 1/2 ton (Able to swill fuel at prodigous rates!)
68 VW Beetle donned in multi colored paint swatches
79 Porsche 911SC w/475,000km still hummms -or roars...
76 Porsche 912-E (No sneering..E was a marvelous cruise)
02 Boxster (Shudda got the S)
1941 40' rotting wood trawler...1941 Ercoupe ser#00058
Passed along to a needy nephew 84 Honda CRX-SI..bulletproof and when tryin hard, turned 64mpg!
96 Seville , still in my name but confiscated by daughter when her hulk failed.
and a '55 (old style) Chevy pick em up still languishing with a blown 327 in Colorado.

Most common comment: "Ya know...if you would get rid of all this CRAP, you could have a really NICE car or couple of em."

Well, not currently owned...sold 6 months ago

To furthur confuse the world re: BMW Z-3...look at it's shoes...

Shown wearing wheels from 93 Saturn...we tried 17" alloys...looked terrific, handled like a log wagon.

btw: This is a '91 Mazda Miata, fiddled with to look like a Z3.
When taken to an AC shop, they tried to turn me away with "We don't work on BMWs."
"Tis NOT a BMW..tis a lowly Miata." said I.
"Nuh-uh...at's a Zay Thray."
Whereapon, I popped the front clip to show the Mazda engine....mechanic looked for full ten seconds and said,"Damn!!! Sumone put a Miater engine in yore BMW!!"

Just the JCW for now, but looking for future projects. Probably either a VTEC Austin Mini or a R32/33/34 GT-R.
