M3 Better Than a Chevy Equinox?

John Tanglewood · 01-21-2011, 03:04 PM

...ABSOLUTELY!!

Took my girlfriend to the Chevy dealer, as she just purchased a black Equinox (pretty sexy IMO, tried to get her to buy a used 328xi but too $$) which I actually think are really good looking.

Funny thing is, as soon as we pulled up at the stealership, literally ALL the salesmen (I counted 5) came out too look @ my M3.

They surrounded my car, looking over every detail and asking me questions about it. I obliged and chatted with them for awhile about the HP, my decision to go with a 6spd, the width of the rear tires, the RWD in snow, etc. etc. etc. and the whole time could see my GF staring at me like ''are you kidding me'', as she couldn't get anyone to help her! It was positively priceless.

The bottom line is, I love my M3 -- and apparently so does everyone else. You see many threads about people who don't like their car for this reason or that, but I got a real gem and I wouldn't trade her for anything.

Anyone else have any good stories about going to other car dealers and having your car attract attention?

Nice story! My wife just rolls her eyes everytime my "car geek" friends ask me about my car at a gas station etc.

Nice looking SUV by the way.

Depends on the dealer. Sometimes BMW dealer people ignore me, but other brands always drool.

Just today I had two different set of people on a street side yelling at me about by car, and then a delivery guy delivering an appliance to my house, talked to me for ten minutes about it.

LOLOL, This! My wife even talked $hit when a 335 guy was filming my car on the freeway. Shes like, "why the hell does anyone care?"

My answer. You'll never get it honey. Better of not trying.

i actually went out of my way to NOT pull into the dealer with my car

I dont want them to think just cause I can afford a M3, that she can afford to pay $

saying you're a poor college student doesn't mean much if you drive in with a m3 lol
