You know why you can't bring yourself to fess up to the answer
I really enjoy my coupe and you know what it not being predicatable is what give it character and make driving at slower speeds more fun. I don't want to have to explore silly speeds to get to the edge.
The only issue for me for running a M is the servicing which is a joke over standard BMW fodder as it doesn't require a M specialist mech
I've always been into roadsters, I grew up with them, I don't understand why anybody would buy the coupe over the roadster, I just don't get it!I really enjoy my coupe and you know what it not being predicatable is what give it character and make driving at slower speeds more fun.

It does look awesome though, the cayman is an awkward pig in comparison (maybe that's the reason).
I've owned both the Z3M Coupe and a Z4M Coupe, and also a Cayman S. The Z4MC was the best of all three in my view, I liked the fact it kept you honest and could try and put you through a hedge if you weren't careful. The Cayman was so predictable it was dull. Z3MC looked amazing but felt prehistoric.
Strangely though the only one I'd buy again is the Z3MC, I'd park it outside my window and just look at it all the time.

A better drive than my old E46 M3 convertible,
That wouldn't be difficult, I had an E46 M3 ruined by SMG box, ok on the open road (save engine management was too full on in the nanny dep't) fking useless in town, wker 20" rims that completely ruined the ride and interior finish was terrible, I had wear on the leather finish of the seat bolster in less than 2000 miles.Edited by stufarri on Monday 10th September 23:43
I will never buy a BMW again.

Can I ask who specified the rims?! I will never buy a BMW again.

I say get yourself one of these and forget the coupe (!). Totally transformed (looks-wise anyhow) with CSLs.
A better drive than my old E46 M3 convertible, only downside is there is nowhere to put anything and the boot is a joke.
I like the look of mine on standard wheels...A better drive than my old E46 M3 convertible, only downside is there is nowhere to put anything and the boot is a joke.

agreed, csl's are just way too big for the car & although initially not keen on the design of the standard rims i'm mopre than happy with them now
I am torn, i have the standard wheels on mine but i think they look lost & i love the look of the csl`s, i love the design of the standard wheels alot though & i would imagine the 19`s make the ride interesting!I think if i had the money & some csl`s came up i would certainly put them on it.

I am an expert in pothole dodging since the CSLs were fitted - the standard tyres offered far more comfort and protection for the wheels. That said I prefer the looks so happy to compromise, but each to their own. Let's face it, they hardly have Bentley-esque ride quality even with 18's.I think if i had the money & some csl`s came up i would certainly put them on it.
