I've owned my MR since March 2016 and have yet to see a single other MC or MR on the road since. I only use it at weekends but even still, these are rare motors!

Brilliant! I've been trying to source this info for a while now. happy to know i've got one of the 206 that came to SA .Siener2 wrote:This subject fascinates me. The site BMW M Registry gives the following production numbers for the M Coupe:
"How many versions of the E86 M Coupe were produced?
BMW M offered three distinct versions of the E86 M Coupe: European-spec models in both left-hand drive and right-hand drive configurations, plus a single North American-spec version.
How many of each version were produced?
ECE (LHD): 1,652 produced from 4/06 through 7/08 (Plus 65 pre-production examples produced 10/05 through 3/06)
ECE (RHD): 1,054 produced from 4/06 through 6/08 (Plus 1 pre-production example produced 2/06)
NA (LHD): 1,801 produced from 4/06 through 8/08 (Plus 14 pre-production examples produced 10/05 through 4/06)"
If the info Superbow got from BMW UK (see previous page) is correct, then there are (1054-578)= 476 RHD M Coupes outside the UK. These should mostly be in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Japan. I therefore emailed an enquiry to BMW South Africa and received a very friendly phone call in reply today. According to BMW SA, a total of 206 M Coupes and only 95 M Roadsters landed up in this country. Which means the Antipodeans, Japan and everyone else must have shared the remaining (476-206)=270 M Coupes.
As far as the SA numbers go there seems to have been a different trend than in the rest of the world - globally there were slightly more M Roadsters (5239 according to BMW M Registry) than M Coupes. In SA, despite weather that is infinitely more suitable for open top motoring than (most of) the rest of the world, more M coupes were sold than M roadsters. The reason is IMHO simple: crime. An open car is obviously a soft target for a carjacking and much easier to break into even with the top up. Ergo the coupe outsold the roadster here by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

Old thread, but I have gone through each of the 9968 Z4m's and documented how many of each color combo there are. Have a look at the result - https://www.carsaddiction.com/en/colors/bmw/Z4M
