What questions do you get most about your M3?

///M3AN · 07-18-2012, 03:44 PM

So after a month of ownership on my ///M3, here are my top ones. I find it funny how often these questions get asked.

#1 by far is : So, how fast have you gone in it?
#2: Whoa, carbon fiber roof, can you see through it? (lol)
#3: What kind of gas mileage you get?

+1. That is the question I get asked the most by far.

what's with the hood?
can i see your license and registration?
is your engine broken? (on cold start)

IND-Distribution · 07-18-2012, 04:11 PM

Mostly I just get...

"Do you mind revving it so we can hear the exhaust?"

Jbook · 07-18-2012, 04:14 PM

"How much power does that thing have?"
"Is it stick or paddles?"

The Avi · 07-18-2012, 04:16 PM

"Can I drive it...PLEASE!!"

"Is that the M3 with a turbo?" I think everyone confuses the 335i powerplant with the M3. Then they are shocked to hear it's a V8.

tjsabec · 07-18-2012, 05:14 PM

I get "How much did you pay for that?"... has a lot to do with the area i live in i think.

Ricfutures · 07-18-2012, 05:16 PM

"Is it a turbo?"

quadpipes · 07-18-2012, 05:19 PM

1. How fast have you driven it?
2. Whoa, is that an M3?
3. I love that color, what color is it (I have IB)?

rdollie · 07-18-2012, 05:30 PM

The number one question I get by far is, "Wow, where did you get that custom interior?" When I tell people it's a stock BMW fox interior I usually get dumb looks (I imagine people are thinking to themselves if that's the case why don't I see more of them - and I'm glad they don't ask as I don't have a good answer.)

DBH · 07-18-2012, 05:30 PM

Is that the one with a V8 in it?

SlOE90 · 07-18-2012, 05:34 PM

I get...so how much did u pay for it???..i never answer...i walk away...

pseto · 07-18-2012, 05:37 PM

Is it faster than your 335? No, but handles a LOT better

Mr. ///M3 RD · 07-18-2012, 05:39 PM

M3 drivers have no friends so I figure I am not asked

and that's okay by me
