Happens sometimes, it is nice. Had a guy follow me for a couple of miles, waving to me, etc. He followed me into a parking lot, told me he followed me to see the car up close. Young guy, nice enough. Always nice for thers to enjoy what you enjoy.

Coming from a guy who use to be all into the RICE car scene back in the days (Ontario races days for you so cal guys), I always figured rice only pertains to Japanese cars. All other car manufacturers, I just call them posers. Maybe its just semantics.

Im in Germany so you can say that BMWs are pretty common here. I still see the folks turn around and look at El Superbeasto.
The best was when a guy at the car wash comes over freaking out asking me when they made the M3 in a sedan. He wanted to talk about it forever. I told him he could check it out and sit inside. I popped the hood open and he was just in awe. It was fun and I think he got a kick out of it. Shook my hand and was talking with his buds about it over on the drying rack. Ya, the M3 is a beautiful, cool car no matter what model.

Picked my M3 up in Nashua NH and hung around with family and everywhere I went people would just ask questions and always compliment the look of the car.

Nothing cheap and tacky about an M badge in and of itself. Put it on a 128i and it becomes a rice mod.

I received many more double takes and admirers in Germany (Not counting the area around Nurburgring), then I have in the states.
Comparatively, car culture in Maryland pales in comparison to California. Sure in So Cal, half the M's are driven by drivers who have no idea what's under the hood, but at least the other half know what's up. I've met 2 people in the 2 months I've had the car here who knew anything about the car. Last edited by TheDeliverator; 12-24-2012 at 07:00 PM.. |

There were 4 E92 M3s parked in the gym parking lot this AM. I'd say fellow E92 drivers wave back ~40% of the time. Sometimes they prob don't see me, sometimes they're prob like "why is this civic driver waving at me . . ."
haha. LA is a crazy place.

A E9X M3 costs in Germany around the same as a used F430 does in the United States. When doing ED, I was surprised when kids would come up and ask to sit in the car and take pictures. Then I realized it's a bit more of an exotic over there. |
