<M Coupe> Oh baby!



Just came back from the parts department at BMW Fairfax.  One of the
parts guys (they're good there) told me they had an ///M Coupe that had
just come in.  I strolled out and looked at it and sat in it.

The pre-production model that was at Pittsburgh and PTG didn't have a
sunroof and there were concerns aplenty that there wouldn't be room for
an adult with helmet in one with a sunroof.  Rest at ease ladies and
gents.  This one had a glass sunroof (I don't know why that call that a
moon roof 'cause I could _never_ get my butt that high) that opened out
over the top of the car like so many other companies.  There also seems
to be more room in this production model than the other one.

There is a neat little net that pulls up behind the seats and hooks up
to the roof to keep packages in the back and a parcel cover that pulls
back to the lift-gate in back to hide them too.

This particular one was Avus Blue and had clear markers already on it
with amber bulbs behind them.  Very strange.
