Hi everyone
I was active on the site several years ago, but sold my 2007 2.5 roadster to fund a new kitchen. Kind of the ultimate transformer!
Now I’m back looking for an M coupe.
What are peoples colour preferences? I have 3 cars I’m looking at
1. Interlagos Blue
2. Black
3. Sepang Bronze

Now:

Volvo XC60 R-Design

Hi and welcome back. :thumbsup:

Sepang Bronze is as rare as hen's teeth so would probably be most peoples' choice, although my favourite is Imola Red. Interlagos Blue is another lovely colour, especially with Champagne or Light Sepang seats.

Black is too much work to keep clean for my liking, although Carbon Black and Ruby Black do look fantastic in the right light.

Anyway good luck finding the right one. :thumbsup:

Many thanks, would 5 previous owners put you off buying?

Agree! And 5 owners is not an issue in my opinion. Mines had 12 but the cars in fabulous condition with a great service and mot history. Good luck and post pictures of your new arrival. :thumbsup:

No, being not too practical 2 seaters seem to change hands quite often, and cars like Ms are sometimes an itch that people need to scratch.

My previous Coupe had 5 previous keepers and my M had 7!

I should have added this link to a detailed database a forum member compiled if you have some time to spare! http://perso.numericable.fr/tonyz4c/

The UK only got 19 Sepang Bronze Ms and only 10 were Coupes - although one got written off last year so there may be only 9 now!
