The king is dead, long live the king!
 
It's been a good run with the FR-S, its community and one helluva car. Onto the next adventure...

Very nice! The M coupes are some of my favorite cars. How does the shifting and steering compare to the frs? What are your plans for the car? How much did you pay if you don't mind me asking?

Very nice choice. Congrats, and good luck.

The car is a bit different simply due to the GT layout and heavier nature. It doesn't handle like the FR-S but is a surprisingly nimble car and the shifts snap off (short shifter kit). The S54 engine is a well-known monster and puts down ~300 HP at the wheels and even higher torque. Around town its a riot.

It requires more skill to drive well no doubt, and I am very early in that learning curve. Car currently has KW coilovers, Advan wheels and a short shifter kit. I plan to install a Stromung exhaust and stop there. Goal is to enjoy the miles and get to the track more often. Going rate for the M coupe is $25-32K depending on condition, mileage, etc.

There's ~3 Z4 Coupes that show up pretty regularly, all in that color.

Nice car! I am sold my FRS and got a cheap 4 door car off of a family member. In a few years may get the new MX-5 or a older Z3/Z4 coupe. Living in CA you are just pulled to RWD Roadsters :)

Love those. My dad had a Z4M convertible that he was about to supercharge but unfortunately wrote off.
