M "Motosport" Stripes?

Hi all,

Was wondering whether anyone knows where to get the following Blue/Red "stripes" that's available on the M Racing Coupe?



It's also seen on this car (non racing coupe)



Would appreciate any leads!

I think any good paint shop would be able to recreate them for you.

I was wondering if it was already readily available as it's not as simple as straight cut vinyls. These curve at the back and have a certain blue sheen to them.

No worries, I'm still sourcing for them, and i'll update this post if I found anything interesting!

I saw these on another forum today, and realized this is what you meant about seeing them on non-motorsport Z4MCs. These are Nurburgring training cars. Seems like with this many cars with the scheme, there'd be a BMW part number somewhere...

epbrown, that's exactly it!

It definitely has a part number to it. Thanks for popping this out.

Ah looks like it can be found after all...now we need an etk or something along that line.

Thanks again!

On closer inspection, it looks like the racing one is made of 2 colors(dark blue / red - nicer IMO) , while the training cars have 3 (don't know why they look kinda tacky in the photo - maybe lighting) .

The stripes do look different, but I can't explain it. These are BMW's racing colors - they're always the same. It's possible that the top picture has a deeper purple that's tougher to distinguish from the blue.

I spoke to the german BMW marketing manager (at the nürburgring) - those stripes are NOT designed and sold by BMW. This is a project which he did by himself because he thought that the M colours would perfectly match to Alpinweiss (the traditional colour of german racecars).

Given how few M Coupes there are, I'm wondering if that's a significant chunk of production sitting there.

Hi Ryan,

Are you still trying to source these stripes? I would definitely be interested in getting them as well.

Another member(MTHOERY) posted this pic of a different variation of the stripes. Looks cool. You may want to PM him.

Those are the "driving experience" cars from the Nürburgring - until now - from the beginning of 2008 they were replaced by the new M3. BMW "refreshed" the Z's (new clutch, brakes etc.) and now they sell them normaly on the german market...
