Man...M3 does attract rivals on the road!!!

mclarenmaniac · 05-19-2010, 01:07 PM

I previously had 330ci which never attracted any rivals on the road to race though... it attracted some due to my personalized tags..

Since i got this new M, every time i hit the road there is always somone who either tail gates me or drives parallel to me and starts staring at me.....

last time it was E63 amg and today it was SL500.
Both mercs were black....not sure if black attract blacks..

i almost got tempted to race but didnt wanna violate the break-in period rules..

What? You live in So. Cal., there are always idiots who want to race, most of them being 335i's.

Since you live in PV, I take it you haven't run into the douchebag in the AW 335i that tries to race everyone. I was right by Torrance Memorial hospital and he asked me to roll down my windows and wanted to race right by the hospital! I've seen him many times as well. He want to race in the rain on the 405S another day as well!

SpencerM3 · 05-19-2010, 01:29 PM

So true, I get the most from Audi's and Infiniti G's.

chungdae · 05-19-2010, 01:46 PM

I have 94 mile commute everyday on I95 and/or Turnpike. There are SO many idiots that try to race me.

MJC///M3 · 05-19-2010, 02:03 PM

yes it does......

i get more harassed by the infiniti d bag G35 19 yr olds.......for some reason they feel the G35 is the M3's true rival.....um....NO.

Most AMG, 335 dudes always admire and give the thumbs up......

I have 17,000 miles AND a Dinan badge and a 500 mile/week commute. Nobody bothers me. Very different when I drive my lowered, highly modded 400 whp Lancer EVO VIII MR.

Dengel · 05-19-2010, 02:08 PM

I get alot of G35's or 350z's that try to race

Definitive · 05-19-2010, 02:27 PM

I find Subaru's the worst! Especially the WRX STI's. Seems like they are crazy drivers already.

Cabinetman · 05-19-2010, 03:35 PM

I never had issues with people trying to race me in the M. Maybe the sedan is a little more covert than the coupe. My GT-R is an entirely different story. I get everything from stock looking Civics to Corvettes trying to race me. I think most just want to see how fast the car really is. I just ignore these folks and mind my own business.

Green///Hell · 05-19-2010, 03:35 PM

Yeah all of the above cars and more but I find they all just come flying by and I don't even realize they're there until the bob and weave through traffic like psychos and expect you to follow them

Around my neck of the woods I get it from turbo-diesel F-250 duallys & their GMC/Chevvy brethren!

FStop7 · 05-19-2010, 04:48 PM

Infiniti station wagons (FX35 / FX45) and lifted trucks are usually the ones that act stupid around here

If it happens to be a white Dodge Cummins then I hope you will man up and run me!

ooowowizstev · 05-19-2010, 06:22 PM

I attract Nissans and Mitsubishes.

LOL, haha wow, I know what you mean. Some igmo in a busted-ass Civic with a muffler was doing that to me a few days ago when I was just out cruising around enjoying the M. We hit a stoplight and when it turned green, I gave him a little tap so he could hear that V8, but oh no, he still starts bobbing and weaving and falling back then speeding up trying to get me to budge. haha it's so funny. i just love it.

Frozen Black Panther · 05-19-2010, 06:37 PM

they do that now in my 335 i can only imagine a convertible m3 with red interior lol

leo95se · 05-19-2010, 06:42 PM

ive found the opposite - in my rsx-s its constant punkrace time.. in my m, no one bothers me.. most even move out of my way

henryyxyu · 05-19-2010, 07:05 PM

I always race against the E-class/ 5-series driving moms with the darth vader/ astronaunt masks. Man, they sure are hardcore

(SGV people should know what I'm talking about, its like those plastic UV blocking hats, cept they pull the lip all the way down and cover their faces

lol)
