Picked up my M Coupe today :D

[BAKS42]

And i'm in love!

Engine bay looks super-clean. How do you find it in comparison to the Cayman?

[jrainlay]

Very nice!

[rossw46]

I have a boner just looking at that!

Im sure the boxster is almost as good a car,but I would 10 gazillion more times have the BMW than it!

Enjoy!

Real nice,I do think red looks great.
A late one too.....I have a 08 which is quite rare yours must be even more so.
Enjoy.

[BAKS42]

Thanks for the nice reply's guys. It's a December 08 so must be one of the later ones! It really is fantastic, going to take her on a long drive today but going to take it very easy until i get to grips with the way it drives. It's a very different drive to the Boxster S i owned, both fantastic in their own ways! The M feels a real event just even looking at it in the driveway!
My dad owns a cayman s and he's going to take the M out later to compare! I will report back with his thoughts.

Looks mint,very nice,i so want to own one of these on day.

I think they are a proper drivers car with a lovely manual box & a sweet rwd set up.

Hope you have lots of fun in it.

Out of interest after driving the M Coupe on the 18s today, and note that you run the 19CSL's, my Cayman is far harder and almost crashes over bad surfaces, the M on 18s is ok, although the front feels a little weird and does not promote a high level of confidience like the Cayman it feels very relaxed and won't give you a headache. How is your M on the 19s?

Having had a few good runs in the cayman I can vouch for it's precision and balance and makes you feel like you are Jenson Button the king of smooth! I've only had a quick spin in the M which feels more meaty and less serious, maybe more of a Lewis Hamilton perhaps. Both awesome cars, can't wait for some more adventures in the M to get to know it a bit more

Z4M is a hooligan's car. Turn off the DSC and get it sideways. Even I can hold it in a lurid slide.

I noticed little difference going to CSLs. They are lighter. Tramlines a bit more though.

I previously had a Cerb too...

The difference is that whilst you can eat up the road in a Cerb, if you get it a bit out of shape you'd swear it's trying to kill you.

I totally agree with you about the cerb,you can never drive it full on & i dont enjoy it as much as my old 200sx for the fun factor.

The z4m just seems like a car that could rekindle the fun factor again,they look controllable with you just sitting over the rear wheels & more useable.
Great choice of cars by the way you have had.

People will disagree, but i think the difference between 18s & 19s is marginal.

a bit more grip and picking up ruts from the wider tyres, slightly firmer due to smaller sidewalls.
but you'll get as much difference from switching new/used tyres or tyre brands

.. it may be worth checking your tyre pressures and what the wear is like.

PS when i test drove a couple of caymens i thought they felt more refined than the Z????

[BAKS42]

I still can't stop smiling Going to take a while to adjust to the feeling of that fantastic lump up front! Feels very special
