I'll bring a 1:18 Imola model and stand holding it like a jackass.

Or I'll just stand next to Andy's car with him.

others please log in below. We can get a price quoted.

Count that 2 for Maddux (JonM and AndyM)

Edit: Hate to say it, but someone should post this on the Toadfly Coupe Board. Then again, a Bimmerfest Coupe only photo may be better.

Hello Arslan,

Great to hear from you. Can't say how many coupe's will be in attendance this year. This registration only asks whether one is coming in a Z3 or Z4. Last time we did a coupe panorama in front of Zentrum we had 20 or 25. I believe that was two years ago. I don't know how many came last year.

By the way you are certainly welcome to do your coupe' photo here on site if you wish, just let us know. The coupe's are very much revered by many of us in BMW. They are a highly distinctive machine and I'm proud that we made them even in very limited quantities. I have an M Coupe' that gives me much pleasure to drive.

All the best and looking forward to seeing you,

Kenn

I e-Mailed the photographer. He is out of town right now and will respond upon return. I think its prudent to have a count of as many definite coupes as possible so he can plan. I have as of today 12 confirmed. Will keep this post current as I find out more. Ask Ken to bring his coupe.!

I'm in for the Coupe photo.

Kenn Sparks says...

I would recommend doing it [taking the photograaph] in front of or on one of the sides of Zentrum...always makes for a sharp background. In fact we used the lawn on the entrance side of Zentrum for the last coupe' shot two years ago. I'll check and see which venue would be open and available on that Saturday. And I would be most honored to be part of the photo.

Thank-you

Kenn

So as you can see, we can add one more Coupe to the list

Count in Patrick - 1999 M Coupe Arctic Silver/Black

I've posted this on Roadfly based on your suggestion:
The new Sticky on Roadfly.

Wow, I'm honored to be included...

However, I don't quite own a Coupe yet...so I'm going to have to bow out. If I do purchase a coupe soon there's a chance I'll be there, though.

Not my call, since I'm not a Coupe'r (just a Coupe'r wannabe) but I think you should cover Kenn's photo (including framing) and donate it to him. It might even wind up on display in the Zentrum.

I agree.

I agree 2

Yep, I'd pony up my part of Ken's bill too.

Wonder if we could get them to roll out the LeMans prototype coupe to be featured in the pic? That would own.

I was thinking the same thing.

Now that would be something. I will be taking pics of it Tuesday August 26th.

Bob (and others)

I've e-mailed Kenn again asking if it's possible to roll out the LeMans Prototype MC for our picture. If not, if we could get a special glimpse of it up close with bonnet and doors open.

Will let you know what he says. Fingers crossed

Just as an update, I thought you should check the "sticky" on Roadfly on the Coupe photo:

Roadfly sticky

Nice to know there are lots of people to share the cost with

23 is such an odd number.. Make it 24!

Randy Forbes is a genius! It's the least we can do since Ken has invited us onto the lawn. A rare privledge I understand!

Is it time to leave yet???

Is it time to leave yet???
It's funny but for me it's sort of like Christmas Eve when I was five years old. (the morning of the departure for the convoy to HC) Guess I need to get a life in certain ways...

Elf , im in the same position as you are, im counting the day's till i leave
and what is worse is , it looks like i will have to fly into South Carolina due to work related time problem but im still pumped to get there, if you guys get a peek at the super coupe in the zentrum ill make sure i tag along , and just to throw my .02 cents in the invite and cover of Kenn's Picture is a super idea, he really is a great guy, always responds to emails and offers help to us, he is awesome

We have to get Michelle and Don in on this too. Two coupes and two Z4's up front. Awesome.

Hello Arslan,

Can't say for sure about the LeMans Coupe, it's a bit tricky to move. But we can certainly arrange for everyone to get a good look at it and maybe as a special just for the coupe owners, each of you guys can have a photo made sitting in the driver's seat...how's that?

We'll work out the details when you arrive. See you soon.

Kenn

Now I can certainly deal with not having the car in our group photo so long as I can have a picture of me sitting in this animal! Kenn is one stand up bloke.

Awesome!

I can't wait for Homecoming!
And I'll be able to enjoy it since I'm not putting the event on like 02-02-02!
