Our coupe came at kind of a busy point in our lives, so we sent out the invites the day before. Amazingly we were able to find a few takers on such short notice. We then thought, &#8220;We should do this every year and make it an annual thing.&#8221; Hence it became the 1st Annual M Coupe Buyers Guide End of Summer BBQ. We had so much fun, we may need to institute a Fall BBQ, Spring BBQ, Beginning of Summer BBQ, and Mid-Summer BBQ.<\/p>\n<p>Our attendees included Glenn with his 2002 Steel Gray over Imola Red sunroof-delete M Coupe with only 7,000 miles, Lindsey with his 2000 Cosmos Black over Dark Gray sunroof-delete M Coupe, and Colby with his 2002 Alpine White over Imola Red M Roadster. My little sister Lindsay also stopped by to hang out, see my coupe, and take some photos. I&#8217;m not sure why they say sunroof-deletes are so rare; I was the only one there with a sunroof :). Next time, we&#8217;ll try to plan ahead a little better so some others will be able to make it.<\/p>\n<p>My driveway became something out of an Z3 M lover&#8217;s fantasy. We all stood in the street and giggled at the sight. Colby brought his very nice camera and the results are below:<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-1170 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div
