Surprised there are so few Silver ones about. Are there any Yellow M Coupes on here (can't even find a picture of one) :?

Great info. I have always wanted a Sepang one. As there were only ever ten of them that might be a bit tricky LOL. I've definitely seen one of the Phoenix Yellow Z4MCs in Richmond...

Just for clarity, excluding Non M colours and put in order:

Interlagos Blue 144
Black Sapphire 120
Silver Grey 72
Imola Red 56
Ruby Black 54
Carbon Black 52
Titanium Silver 26
Alpine White 18
Midnight Blue 17
Monaco Blue 14
Sepang Bronze 10
Phoenix Yellow 3
Space Grey 2

Heres a Roadster in PY...

Is this the number of coupes, or the number of Z4Ms?

I think that makes 588, but the other linked thread said 1000+ coupes and 920ish roadsters.

Confused :?

silver in the non -m is very popular but anyone thats looked for a silver ///M will no their arnt many about............... look on the autotrader, look on pistionheads and theirs 1.... and its sold!!

Ti silver in the ///M is very rare indeed but i suppose most people saw the vibrant colours availble and decided it was tame for an ///M, but now with so few available im glad i opted for ti silver :-) isnt their only another 2 ///Ms in silver on this forum?

the dealers tell me interlagos is the worst for selling on, why? its one of my fave colours, looks so good in the flesh.... either way the ///M is just a rare car, in my nearly 4 years of ownership ive seen about 3 in total.

Titanium Silver ///M roadster here.

I was wondering how many of these there were and, I guess, how many of each of the other colours in the UK

When I was looking for a used Z4M roadster; I wanted a titanium silver one. That was the only color I was looking for on the Z4M. It was not an easy task to find a Ti silver Z4M roadster anywhere in Europe. I also wanted one with warranty which was being sold from an official BMW dealer. In Belgium the result was zero, so I went abroad and I ended up importing one from Germany. Most Z4M's on the market are black, blue or dark grey... For example; from the 45 Z4M roadster’s now on sale at a German BMW dealers there are 0 cars with the color silver. It makes my silver Z4M that little more exclusive :)

Hark,

The other thread was talking about total RHD production numbers so it included models sold in Australia, NZ etc, hence the difference. :thumbsup:

Just to confirm this is just coupes sold by BMW UK and the info came from BMW customer service, if anybody wants the actual file they sent me just pm me an email to send it to

o wow, I presumed it was UK Rhd.

I never realised that the car was so rare tbh. I knew there weren't many of them, as I had to travel alot when looking for one.

I still haven't seen another M on the road, without it being part of a meet.
