View Full Version : Mcoupe
Thinking of buying an M coupe. Anyone know anything about then? Obviously they're rear wheel drive monsters, so you lot should have some idea of how they handle? If they're pants any other ideas for fun cars budget of about £20 k. only 24 so insurance might be an issue!

May I point you in the direction of a Mazda RX8!!
I doubt you'll get much kit for £20k on a bmw!

If I had 24k to spend it wouldn't be a M coupe.

Yup a couple of very nice looking R33 GTR's on autotrader right now ~18k. leaving £3k for insurance and a bit left for more mods :D
Got so much more presence than a bmw ;)
Thought I was on the BM forum then :rolleyes:
Your first post on the 200SX Forum Beemer and you want to but a BMW :rolleyes: :( :(
Don't buy a bloody M Coupe :rolleyes:, buy an R32 GTR and spend the other 10k on making it awesome :D

Get another s14a then :D
Or an s15....
Beemer.
I would like to apologise unreservedly if you took my comments as having a pop at you or anything. I was merely being my usual sarcy self and genuinely didn't mean to cause any offence. :) :)
I agree with Wak, get another S14 or an S15, or maybe wait till later in the year and get a 350Z.
you come to the wrong forum mate if you looking for BMW advise:) , id have to say skyline, or a supra me thinks.
lot more fun than an Mcoupe! :D
Go on... you know you want to!!

Its gotta be a jap beastie!!
I agree with the rx8 idea, or Y not an RX7, plenty of £ left for mods.
as with r32gtr.
nissan 350z, supra, s15. if you want rear wheel drive (not many people will know what the s15 is)
Cheers people.
Just bought nyself a kit car. Found a 2 year old dax rush cosworth turbo. 400 bhp at the wheels, in a car that weighs only 700 kg!:thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: :D :D :D .
Goes like stink. was £12000 but hell it's only money. Insurance is cheap too only 700 quid:thumbs: :thumbs:
Acceleration is unbeliavable, it is however only rwd so getting power down is tricky.
Just buy the Mcoupe, top bollocks car, easy to get sideways and recover, ooodles of fun and amazingly......wait for it....Practicle!
M Engine to die for, fully loaded with toys as standard, well put together, stunning looking car!
Get the Beemer dude :D

If its 700Kg's then its using the 4x4 running gear! The RWD ones are even lighter!:thumbs:

The M-Coupe is a 321bhp 3.2 inline six taken from the E35 M3 EVO, the M-Coupe was made to be a bit more tail happy than the M3's.
Also the build quality is fantastic, much better than Nissan/Dax, laod slag off BMN's but lets face it they have never released a FWD car and even there smaller cars are RWD or there bigger 4x4's, not many manufacturers do that these days, even Jag make a FWD car :rolleyes:

Which one?
Havent got a clue, want something half decent any ideas anybody
My friend had a 328 coupe, it was like a clowns car with bits always falling off. The air conditioning used to wet the passengers legs, the door trim fell off if you shut the door too hard, sometimes it wouldn't start, and the central locking couldn't be convinced that it should be locking the boot as well as the doors.
How about this?

The later models of the M-coupe were tweeked to produce an extra 4 BHP, so the later ones actually produce 325bhp :)
