How often do you see another M...?

Must be at least two years since I last saw one, other than mine. I see more Lamborghini's around these parts than Z4 ///Ms. :)

I’ve only ever seen 2 in person - the coupe I own which I had to travel to Cardiff to collect and a roadster at the only forum meet I could make last year in the Peak District (Chatsworth).

I used to see lots in London, more roasters that coupes, but I’ve seen only a couple in Sydney.

Apart from at meets (or driving to/from them), I've seen a couple of ///M roadsters (one black, one Imola) and one ///M coupe (silver/grey) on the local roads over the last year or so.

Never seen another Alpina RS driving around though...

Of all the events, this was by far the biggest one with the most M’s I’ve ever seen viewtopic.php?f=14&t=32876&hilit=Silverstone+2012

With no pace car in sight ... trying to loose Bing behind was a real adventure on the ‘parade lap’

I've recently noticed a black Z4MC when I drive my train into Taffs Well train station. Always looks immaculate and probably has the folding mirrors as they're always tucked in, has a private plate as well. Any member on here?

Spotted one last night somewhere near Newark. I was in my 130i though.

I see them a lot less now the guy who had one on my walk to the station has swapped it for a C63 AMG Coupe ;-)

Sadly the MC I used to see around fairly often was Alfa Scozzesi's and he had it written off last year.

I do a lot of mileage for work, normally about 40K per year. In the 11 months I've had my MR I've only ever seen 3 other M's. Two roadsters, silver and black and a dark blue coupe. Definitely a rare car.

There's a M coupe in the next village that I see regularly and there were a couple at Caffeine and Machine yesterday
