Another guy shouted to me at a stop light. (Which happens more times then I can count) Going to the gas station also gives me anxiety over all the attention the car gets. With that being said, I spent my two hours at the dealership talking with my SA (cool guy) who I believe has given me the final push I needed to decide to mod the exhaust on my baby. He told me to call Roman (I'll be calling). Philip, I'll be messaging you too for your advice.

Do it, Cheryl! I think for you the Eisenmann Sport (Black Series) would be perfect!!! Incredible sound, and not too crazy with the top down. For looks, the Akra with the carbon fiber tips is hard to beat.

Way too much attention! In a good way I guess.

The few the proud were m owners

only because it is a vert and it has black wheels. most people don't know any thing about being an M

ss134 · 09-26-2012, 04:48 PM

Not much attention really - the M3 to 99% of people is just another 3 series.

Enjoy the ///M until the day you have the Lambo.

i hear ya on the chasis of the e9xM. And i truly hope i can obtain one before i'm 35. lol

My m3 is not a head turner. She's a dime a dozen in my area.

slo_guy · 09-26-2012, 09:47 PM

it's hard to be a head turner in Beverly Hills. The only head turning M3s in this area are ones with full exhaust systems... and that's not because of the car itself

I get nods and people taking pics of my car 10x a day but that has a lot to do with my "yolo" license plates.

This guy from a delivery truck has to chase me down at 45

MPH just to tell me, my ride is a #@$%^ bad ass and also told me that my exhaust sounds like a LAMBO/ FERRARI.

BMW Fanatic · 09-27-2012, 02:48 PM

Honestly, as a statistic of 10 cars that I'll drive by, 6/7 of them will look. I've been checking this out the last couple days, after keeping a tally that's what I came up with. It's ridiculous. I'm guessing Lamborghini and Ferrari owners are at 10/10.

I concur...and mostly from guys. From my experience though, if you ask them, most girls think the M3 is very sexy. They're just inconspicuous when checking out things that give them a warm fuzzy.

dreamspeed · 09-28-2012, 01:16 AM

It really just depends on where you live. Around here the only people that would notice a m3 are enthusiasts. To most people a m3 is just another 3 series that looks a little better but they won't be able to put a handle on why

fuhshietfu · 09-28-2012, 01:21 AM

today I had a guy take a pic of my car while he was in his car. I guess its sorta head turner lol..To add to that had a few other guys yelling RIPP IT at the red light. I also notice other 3 series owners checking me out.

Adobong_M · 10-03-2012, 09:13 AM

It is a head turner but never thought it get much more attention when the owner's not around. Sometimes I'm jealous of my own car. LOL

Epacy2 · 10-03-2012, 09:48 AM

Nope, it's a neck breaker.

cmrocks · 10-03-2012, 08:16 PM

I even get compliments on my E46 M3. I'm looking to trade up soon and can't wait to see the reaction from the E92. It's one of the best looking cars on the road IMO.
