Agree with the above, there are only so many of these cars so defiantly save it 🙂

That's really bad luck. :(

With such limited damage I hope it gets saved, even if it's by someone else!

Fix it, although it will have Cat N you will still be able to sell it at a later stage. Plenty of second-hand parts around at the moment, you just need to be patient.

I would say fix it for all the reasons stated. Two reasons to add you know the history of the car prior to accidents. Second once fixed can really drive it like you stole it because of it now not being a mint example. Either decision made good luck.

How many coupes are about, from my quick research on how many left it was around 265 when I last looked how accurate that web site is I don't know but there are around 1700 m coupes about?

I've never been so sure on what that site says must be more than that surely.

Yeah I think it's 2791 coupes including M's so 1700 sounds right to me.

The howmanyleft data is incorrect when it comes to Z4 coupes. You only need to browse the “for sale” portals to know that they are more common than you imagine. And I expect most of the coupes sold in the UK are still on the road.

I'm outside of Austin, Texas. I haven't seen any other Z4 M coupes, but do see non M versions sometimes. My brother in Kansas had never seen an M coupe before I bought mine. I first saw a pair of them showing up and running at the Texas World Speedway road course that I frequented for years before they finally tore it down. I always thought they were super cool looking and would talk to the owner(s).

I love the CSL 19" wheels on them, brings them up to date IMHO.

Very special little car!
