I also like this pic from a couple of weeks ago.

Is that a DBS?

let's be friends. I love your taste.

Also, that I'd buy that M roadster if it were either Estoril blue or a coupe.

It's an S54 motored example with under 50k miles (I am pretty sure) and all the Dinan options other than exhaust and cosmetic options. I guarantee a good time.

while they are all stunning, the M1 would be my pick of your litter, such a perfectly proportioned good looking (and I'm assuming good driving) car

You, sir, are who I want to be when I grow up based solely on cars. The CSi and the 1M... so much want. The CSi looks great without the rear bumper too. I wish I could do that on the 2002, but it doesn't really work. Gotta find myself a euro bumper!

On the E9s, you can remove some parts of the US bumper to give a cleaner look if you can't source euro. Does that work on 02s?

Also for that car I'd recommend LED brake light strips on the upper part of the rear window. See my E9 below - it's invisible unless lit up.

Is that an 8 series next to the M Roadster? Color me quite interested in knowing more about it.

So price wise I'm guessing low $20's to high teens? I'm not TOO familiar with the Z3 based roadster price wise. Unfortunately being outside of DC I'm not in prime vert location, so I'd reaaally have to love it to put up with it.

That 1M is nice, definitely has my interest but I'm still debating whether an E9x M3 or 997.2 p-car is the way to go for the money.

What are you selling the 1M Coupe for? I've been somewhat on the lookout for a Sapphire Black one on the west coast.

You can, but it doesn't look as good as on an E9. Its not awful, but it looks like something should be there. Even this one, which had a lot of work to that area done, looks unfinished in in my opinion. The owner eventually got a fiberglass shorty bumper.

The European "shorty" bumpers look so much better, and can be easily fit on a later square tail light car. Plus someone started making really good reproduction ones so you can get a perfect set for half the price of an original. I have the horrible US diving board on the back right now, and it needs to go ASAP.

As for the LED strip, I recently started looking into that. A lot of people I know installed real 3rd brake lights but they don't look good. That looks great! I will definitely go that route.

$60k. It's loaded with extremely low mileage.

I didn't know someone is making reproductions. Neat - I will investigate.

I haven't investigated at all but that sounds about right.

Yup! They're stainless steel so they're a little more expensive but they definitely have added benefits. Here's a link the the 2002 bumpers. Last time I checked they also had E9 bumpers

Thanks for the info. I'm up in Vancouver, Canada. There's a black Canadian one for sale for the equivalent of US$44,000 with 30,000 kms on it. I wouldn't be shopping for a low mileage example since I'd be putting on too many kms to justify the premium. Good luck with your sale, I'm sure it shouldn't be a problem in Cali.

Eh, everyone says it's overpriced whatever that means. That's why I say it's only sort of for sale - if someone wants a perfect one and is willing to pay a premium great. Otherwise I'll just keep it.

wow nice collection! It makes my life look really bad with a Ford Fusion and a Mazda 323

The 1M and the Lincoln are my top picks.

How is the Z3 /M for taller folks? A colleague of mine is shopping weekend (or DD) cars and had trouble making the S2000 work. He's 6 4". The Z3 M is a bit of a hidden gem right now, and I have half a mind to steer him towards it.

1M! How is it? Ughhh thats one of my dream cars.

Also is the Lincoln equipped with suicide doors?

All mid-60s Lincoln have suicide doors (except the coupes)!

Slow! But very rewarding, it's really about the journey. It drives like a modern car compared to say a Model T or A.

I sold my S2k to buy the M Roadster. But as I'm 5'7" I couldn't really say. My friend who is 6'5" drove the Lincoln and ended up having to look OVER the windshield. I figure that 6'2" might be max height on the Z.

Hmm that is unfortunate.... Well, still leaves it as a possible weekend car for me, too bad I am not in the market right now.

That Lincoln is an incredibly cool car, makes me think of Entourage every time you post a picture.
