One time, I was leaving a cousin's birthday party when I found a dog randomly walking the street. I opened my door and the (tiny) dog jumped right in my lap. I drove around a bit to see if I could find the owner. Low and behold, there was a woman walking just a couple of blocks down. I actually passed her as I was leaving. I asked her if she'd lost her dog and she said yes, so I opened my door and the dog hopped out. Great! Nope A week or two later, I'm talking to my cousin and she tells me that the lady has been telling everyone in the neighborhood that some guy in a black Mustang tried to steal her dog! 1) It's an M3, not a Mustang... dammit. 2) It's Interlagos Blue, not black... dammit. Doesn't help that I was kind of getting on it as I left the neighborhood. She probably thought I was the getaway driver. Getawaaaay driiiiver!

Sick if people asking me how much I paid for my car so my standard reply now , without sounding like snob, is :
I sold my house and Max's out my credit cards! But it was worth it! Lol

So I was taking some co-workers out to lunch today. One of them, our intern, kept commenting on how much power the M3 had. I began to explain that the M3 is basically BMW's street legal race car (he is from a small town in China...so I naively assumed he was not familiar with the ///M brand.)
He stops me and says, "Oh, I know.. I played it in a video game called Need for Speed 9. It was great!" |

Just at the pump station minutes ago. Some guy in a Las Vegas racing shirt:
" That's a V12, right ? -No, V8. -I just heard you coming and i thought it's a V12. I know some of those M BMW have V engines. Sounds really good. -The M6 used to have a V10. They don't make cars like that anymore. They're all muted sound turbo now." Upon leaving i revved it like a maniac for 5 seconds to let them enjoy. Got all thumbs up and frozen smile faces on 3 guys. I'm sure that sound got imprinted in their mind and the smiles on their face. |

Yesterday when I was going through the Chick-fil-A drive thru the girls are outside taking orders. The young girl that took my order asked me is that a real carbon fiber top or did you do that by yourself, of course I said this is a real factory issued carbon fiber top. She then ask if she could touch, i said sure no problem. I was very impressed that she knew what carbon fiber is, she was probably 19 years old. She also knew that it would lighten the weight of the vehicle so we could go faster.

sitting at a light a gentleman pulls up and says "nice ride, its beautiful." His wife says nothing. During the same time his wife yells out the window to a woman walking across the street and says "i love what you did with your highlights" referring to her hair. The gentlemen looked at me and we laughed...

Nothing too crazy, there are so many BMW 3/5/6/7 series around here nobody notices anything different. A few thumbs up here and there.
My girlfriend likes the seatbelt handler. Every time she gets in she goes "thank you Winston". On another note, I had a Lotus Elise for a bit years back, and that got attention everywhere. From dudes weighing 300+ wanting to sit in it(they couldn't get in/out) to my dentist wanting a ride around the block, then propositioning me to go to Mexico with her(she is gross, we didn't) |

While I happen to like the sound of the LS1 V8, the LS1 and S65 couldn't sound more different despite both being V8's. The M3 sounds much more like a Ferrari V8 than it does like a small block Detroit V8. The German car with the Detroit V8 sound is the MB AMG V8. It sounds sweet too.

this is a pretty tough combo to find. Will you accept bleach blondes?

My car may as well be invisible when I'm around - nobody seems to give it a second look, but several times a week I return to my parking spot to see hand (and presumably forehead) smudges on the driver door glass. I'm not sure if they just want to see what kind of transmission it has or if they are hoping l left my phone on the seat. Either way I consider it a "funny compliment."
