calling Taz and possibly others...
Statisticians only thread: you will be proper done in otherwise...
I got a download last night of "all" M z4s - I think - get it from wikipedia link in the z4m section: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_Z4M#Z4 ... .932008.29 - I can't exactly trust this info but it is the only thing I have to go on to date...
then I "briefly" looked at the coupes: http://dreamingwell.com/forumFiles/Z4M% ... 20Info.csv - you have to scroll down more than halfway etc to identify coues v roadies
Not actually that bothered BUT looking at it, there seem to be about 40 coupes WORLDWIDE which had sapphire & "imolarot" (that dark red leather) specced as their "fix" from the factory - mine is Black Sapphire with Imola so interested in seeing whether this is (1)rare, (2)obvious or (3)something in between - in the EU. I know my "choice" (sapphire/imolarot) will be more popular than some others... So you have Sepang Bronze plus Shitstick yellow with abberations - that is likely to be unique, no further questions needed... You have Interlagos with Schwarz - not uncommon etc.
It is possible that a similar thread may already have been on Z4rum etc but I just haven't got the results I wanted when I searched so apols for those that may have done this before. I HAVE, however, seen the "numbers in UK" thread: [can't find acceptable link - I have personally saved the table but can't link it for some reason!] so have seen that we record, for example, 120 black sappphire M coupes in the UK, feck all Sepang Bronze coupes, lots of Interlagos etc etc.
My main Q is: regarding the split in USvEU coupes, looks like about 1,000 (roughly) coupes in blighty overall, 120 of which are black sapphire; how many of those are imolarot leather? (Note: if you trust me, only 40 or 41 M coupes in Sapphire have imola leather worldwide; a lesser number must therfore be available in the UK...)
The question in this thread is, frankly, so very abstract that I'd be prepared - if I could - to bestow a CBE on any person capable of working it out and giving the correct answer. I think i I can get it from the raw data but, hey, if someone's already done this to save me a day's holiday - why waste my, or anyone else's time?
Failing which, Taz, did you already calculate this yet?

Re: calling Taz and possibly others...
Stevo,
The stats link is interesting, but I believe refers only to US / Canada (as mentioned where the link is originally quoted in wikipedia) or maybe just LHD and so is probably not worldwide.
I could not find my RHD car on the list.
Not that it really matters, my silver grey with black leather is probably as common as muck anyway!
Cheers!

Or something that doesn't appeal to Americans...StevenH72 wrote:so only one Carbon Black Z4MC in the US........I knew I had a beauty
There are always at least two ways to read statistics......
Wikipedia says it's "north america" for that list.
Taz is working on Specs of all Coupes at the moment I believe, so he will eventually have an answer. But its got to be a thankless task, unless he can code a screen scraper for the info.

Re: calling Taz and possibly others...
The information available on UK Coupe's right now only covers exterior colours. But as above.. Taz is working on a more definitive list I believe...
