I would like to get an idea of the number of M coupes in Canada. I know of only two in Nova Scotia a white one and a gray one. I know there are a few out west. Anyone else.

Based on the numbers of Z3 M Coupes sold in North America: 2870
I would estimate approx 200 M Coupes in Canada. I know of under 10 M Coupes in Calgary.

I have seen several different ones in the Vancouver area, and we have at least two customers with Z3 M coupes.

... Man, they are an awesome car :)

there are a few here in victoria.. my neighbor has an Z3 M coupe

I would estimate approx 200 M Coupes in Canada. I know of under 10 M Coupes in Calgary.
I thought the same thing too, but I saw 3 different just last week, and there's another one that lives near me so I think there's gotta be more than 10.

Seriously? More than 10 in Calgary?! Boo-urns. I think I would prefer if my car was rare... Of course, I have a 3.0 coupe. So I'm probably the only one :stickoutt

Well, saw another one today for sale. Silver '02. Chalk up another M coupe in Calgary.

Where are you spotting all of these? I've only seen a silver one. Three times, but I assumed it was the same one.

BTW, what color is yours?

the 3 I saw in the same week, one of them was mine (steel grey), I saw one in Kensington in black, talked to the owner after I gave him thumbs up when driving by him. I saw 2 at the same intersection (on different days) at Anderson and Bonaventure Drive by Fish Creek library. One was red and one was Estoril. This last silver one a friend of mine told me about at Kulu Motorcar for sale.

I don't think I've seen yours m3conversion. But to be honest, I haven't seen that many coupes in Calgary up until recently. Do you have any pics of your interior or rest of your car? For some reason, i'm strangely drawn towards caramel/tan interiors.

I have lots of pics actually. I love my interior. It's the one thing that keeps me from upgrading to an S54. I could probably muster up the change, but since you just can't get that color in an M I'm sticking with my 3.0 for now.

BTW, it's your turn to post some pics. I showed you mine...

Easy solution. Buy a s54, swap interiors, sell 3.0. But I do love the 3.0 hatch way better than the M. The license plate on the bumper looks so much cleaner if everything minus the roundel is shaved. Is that the way the interior came from the factory? Or is that swapped?

I haven't taken any pictures of my car, mostly because my picture taking skills are slightly below a drunk 5 year old. But here's a few a friend of mine took.

Nice car!;) I especially like the rims. Is it originally from Canada? I imported both my Zs.

I think an S54 coupe, an M54 coupe, an S52 Roadster as well as my other projects might be pushing my budgetary constraints. I just may have to sell some of them.

Actually, I'm putting the roadster for sale right away. I just got it back from having the subframe repaired. :( The shop who did it did an excellent job with the subframe... and not so great with putting the interior back in. :shifty I'm just in the middle of re-doing it myself, as well as a few other improvements (seat bushings, fuel level sender, window guides etc.). It runs great, but I just don't need two Z's.

The car's originally from LA, so its never seen cold weather up until this year. Did a local shop do your subframe? Who did it, and approx. cost? If you don't want to post up, you can pm me. 1 Z is plenty, and you've got quite a collection of cars already as well.

Well our Coupe Group roster has about 5 in the lower mainland, lots down south... I know of two other's in the area not on the list. I know I have the only one in Langley afaik and I've worked here for a couple years now.
Edit: Sorry these are the M version, not Z3. I've never see the normal one anywhere.

I saw another one yesterday on Crowchild right in front of McMahon Stadium. Red with a roof rack.

roof rack ?!? haha...nice. There's a Estoril blue roaming around my neighbourhood....Evergreen area. Nice car buhx2

I own the Red with the Roof rack :) its an S52. PS I saw you buhx2 on Anderson and Bonaventure a few weeks back, I like the blacked out gills and wheel combo!

I owned an estoril one last year, but I sold it to a local:

Now I am into this red one:

Nice, did you by change sell it to an asiain dood?!?

I have a '99 Arctic Silver on Imola Red/Black interior. Located in Montreal.

There's a dozen or so in Quebec, if not more Z3 M Coupes floating around.

Nope the interior came like that. It's extended leather package in walnut. BMW gave me an internal history report that says they only made six with that combo.

Rick's Frame & Alignment did the subframe. ~$5500, not fun :(. Convertible is nice sometime, but I still prefer my coupe.

That snow shovel has seen some use. Nice coupe!
Thanks I like your wheels - CH's are amazing on M coupes.

Nah it was a guy with a moustache. He will treat it well and plans to supercharge it, much like I plan to do to mine! :redspot
