New to the M coupe club

alane29 · Post by **alane29** » Wed Aug 05, 2020 8:12 am

I have owned a 2.5 since 2005 and done 100000 in it ,finally got enough pennies together to buy an M coupe

Absolutely love it

Probably going to keep the 2.5 as i converted it to hydraulic power steering and done loads of work to it since 2015 as it was a weekend car, cant bring myself to part with it after having it so long

Your 2.5 looks Sooo right to my eye on those Alpina wheels, with the hard top.

Nice looking MC too and easier on the hair.

Also like the bit of aero add-ons to the front & rear - is this the same car Tertius used to have?

Is it just me, or has a previous owner put stupidly dark tints on the front-side windows?

Lovely car OP - I was trying to be cheeky and buy the front splitter from the Shaun the previous owner - he was keen to sell the car together though, looks lovely although I personally don't love the tints

Welcome to MC ownership.

For me it feels like a special occasion every time I drive it.

Your Roadster looks great too - you're going to be spoilt for choice now!

Makes me wish I'd done the man maths on the aero side skirts that were up for sale recently. Looks the nuts.

Welcome! Lovely looking car, thought it was Shaun’s when I saw your photo. All the best with it, they’re just the best... but I guess we’re all biased
