Used to go through there regular, as we had family in Wokingham and lived near Marlow.

Welcome. :thumbsup:

If you want to do some more detailed research (or just kill some time) here's a link to it:- http://perso.numericable.fr/tonyz4c/index30si.html
If I search UK Z4 (non-M) roadsters it says there were 963 sold in the UK. And it says 2189 coupes. I swear I saw somewhere else about 273 or 268 Coupes (non-M) in the UK (or maybe that was just manual coupes). What am I missing?

I don't think you are missing anything, 963 Roadsters and 2,189 Coupes sounds about right.

268 non-M Coupes may have been referring to a specific colour possibly? After all there seem to have been 592 M Coupes, and the 3.0Si was a much bigger seller than the M.

Where is the inf on the meetings ?
I cannot remember the last time I saw a GT6 on the road.Good luck with it.
Not that far from me then, I'm in Stokenchurch.
There's a meeting at the Ace Cafe in September, and have regular breakfast meets around the Cotswolds.

Just add your name to any you want to come along to.

Ooops, just realised that I was looking at 3.0... it seems entirely plausible that of the 3 litre engine Z4s there were 2 coupes for every roadster in the UK... no point me talking about 268 non-M coupes in the UK when I can't remember where I think I might have seen that.

Edit - originally I thought it meant all the different engined roadsters totalled half the number of coupes, and that made no sense!
