ALL THIS AND I HAVE STILL NOT SEEN ANOTHER COUPE.............. :tumbleweed:
 
Nice car and great colour. :thumbsup:
Do you know the car has an electronic dipstick? Wasn't sure if that was sarcasm.

Funny enough I've seen a few coupes round here recently.

Any photos to show off your pride and joy?

Where are you based? I haven't used mine much this year but try and get out in it at least once every two weeks. Assuming I can resist the temptation to go out and thrash the MX-5 that I bought recently :D

Oh they are such fun little things. Sold my sons the other day. Sad to see it go. :( We still have Mrs G's though. :D :driving: :thumbsup:

As for Z4 Coupes Jamezee..

I spotted three in one trip to mid Cornwall and back last Saturday. Spotted even more Roadsters though. Common as muck around here when the son comes out. :D No G29's though still too pricey for these parts. :wink:
 
A Montego Blue Coupe is a great car!

We had a local meet a couple of weeks ago with 8 Z4s present and 5 of them were Coupes. :lol:

You just need to be in the right place at the right time.
 
Thanks for your replies, It seems there is a bit of a pattern re coupe ownership, I noticed when i was searching for one that most were in the southern climes :o I am up in the Peak district.

One more thing....where the hell is the spare wheel :?
 
Hey welcome to coupe ownership, love mine! Done nearly 45k in the last 5 years ownership. How much was the rocker gasket to do? And your new fog lights

I'm not so sure! Admittedly I found my 1st one in Portsmouth, but my 2nd was in Rugby and my 3rd was in Rutland.

I think they all just seem far away whenever you happen to be looking for one, regardless of where you are. :lol:

166 for the fog lights including vat and delivery, from memory I think the gasket was was about 150ish all in.

Closely followed by a round of 'where's the dipstick'. I picked my car up one evening, by the time I was home it was dark. I spent 30 mins looking for the dipstick to check the oil level! :oops:
 
That seems to be a long-running coincidence!

Back in 2016 I bought my Montego Blue Coupe from forum member "james28" - and my middle name is James.

How strange. My username dates back to my first midlife crisis in 2008 when i got the Z3 and joined the Roadster .net and then .org in 2011.
I still have the Z3. So thats a double midlife crisis and the 728 makes it ........something comfy to sit in LOL
