The Coupe Database

Post by Taz » Fri Aug 22, 2014 7:59 pm

So, over the weekend I hope to complete the coupe database. This will contain information on all right hand drive coupes (hopefully). I have asked the question before in another thread, does anybody have a coupe (RHD) that's not covered within the following VIN numbers?

LF68000 - LF69496
LJ50000 - LJ50711
LE90000 - LE90999
LF78000 - LF78999
LG19000 - LG19054

Sorry, the M's I hope to complete within the next 2 weeks

I assume that because doing the Coupes has been so easy, you'll be doing the Roadsters soon? :wink: :wink:

The database identifies 2221 coupes in the UK/Ireland, this contradicts the table below:

Just had a quick look on how many left - and according to them there are only 265 manual and 125 auto Z4 Coupé left in the country?
See here...

Seems they are a little bit off the mark?

a lot of the time howmanyleft figures are skewed due to inaccurancies on registrations of cars. An example of this is Mk2 VW Scirocco's.

I owned a GT2 but hundreds of GT2s were mislabelled by the dvla / whoever registered them as Scala models (which were better equipped) which means theres no way of knowing the real figures..

Must admit, I've seen some terrible errors from dealerships on DVLA v5 documentation, maybe there were a lot of BMW dealers just sticking the Coupé down as a 'Z4' on the regi documents.

I am now adding number plates to the database so could coupe owners pm me there number plate details, preferably the original plates rather than personal plates - cos I assume if people sell on there cars the will put them back on the original plates

My M is in the middle of the LF block and I'm sure its a Feb 07, so would that pretty much put it in the middle of the production run?

The table is missing approx half of the coupes then?
