It's also not crazy expensive (e.g., not like an exotic) and while prices have come up quite a bit since the E36 version, I don't think the M3 has a reputation for being that expensive even for those who know what it is.
I've given this topic a bit of thought because I drive my M3 to work specifically because I am concerned about the image of driving my Porsches to work (which I avoid doing). But with the M3, I am pretty comfortable.

I disargree. I drive my car everywhere. dont think to much bout it. Cmon why would you buy and drive this piece of work if you are worried about being able to eyeball it every minute and protect it? If your car is that special you should park it. Warehouse it. Preserve it. I say as long as they cant touch the internals then you should drive the thing, Paint wears out. Our motors with diligent care will not.
