Hi fellas,
So I've had my 2011 e90 M3 roughly 5 mos now. It's not my daily so I guess I can say I'm fairly a newbie. Though I've only been driving it on weekends I noticed that other performance cars, modded cars, and even loud 335s wants to race me or keep up with me. Not sure if my driving speed is prompting them to do so or just the mere sight of an M3 causes this reaction? I do oblige to the "challenge" when I'm in the mood (or just really in a rush) but rather not when I'm distracted. I definitely do not engage when my fam is with me. Is this part of the ///M life? I always thought other beemers are suppose to be allies and you don't race challenge them. Are there any unwritten rules in these situations?? I from SoCal by the way |

I've owned my car for over 2 years now and I haven't had one person want to race me as odd as that may sound... I geuss the real reason is because I drive a 4 door... it's not a real M anyway

That's ///M life man.. everyone wants your car but can't have it so they want to beat you in a race to prove something I suppose?
This happens to me a lot as well but mine is Santorini Blue so it stands out quite a bit

Depends on where you live. I'm in Florida and every douche wants to race me.
It's the most bizarre shit I've ever seen. I've also been complimented at red lights and in parking lots, which is nice. My car is LeMans Blue with full exhaust and 19" forgestars though, so it kind of stands out. But people in central Florida are poor and a 94 civic is fancy. If you live in Southern California, you're basically driving a garbage pale, nobody gives a crap, at least that's the feeling I got when I said people complement and try to race me on a thread a few months ago. Even if they did they'd never let you know they like your ride. Personally, I think I should get more race challenges and compliments. People should stand at attention and salute M3 drivers as they pass... Because we're on the way to our wallet's funeral. So, I dunno. :shrug:

These are 5-10 year old cars that sell for as little as $15-20k. Most of the people who want you to give them a run could buy an E9xM3. Give them a run instead of acting like you are too special for them, and if you lose, man up. I have lost and won.

Also.... banks aren't so quick to hand out $20k loans on a 10 year old car. People might be able to afford a $300 car payment, not many people can walk out of the bank with a cashiers check for $27,000

Yeah !! Tonight - long day at work, driving home in F80 at 7pm in the dark, turn onto the ramp with two lane merge into one ahead and accelerate a little, guy behind me coming on fast out of nowhere, as I slow tucking behind the guy in front of me at the merge a yellow Ferrari blows by us both on the shoulder kicking up rocks. I laughed my ass off - Ferrari guy got worked up seeing those sexy M3 hips and lost his mind.
