I did a quick turn at a cul de sac in my community and the kids told my kid that I scared him with the sweet sound of thunder.

Anytime anyone feels the need to announce that they know cars, I immediately assume they know nothing.

Like an enthusiast that buys the 400 lb porker version of one of the greatest cars in the world?

For the casual observer (like neighbors), a standard looking E92 two door or a bloated looking E90 saloon is never going to look as cool as a vert, especially if the top is dropping or the top is up with all 4 windows down.

That's just hurtful, my e90 is not...bloated looking!? Wtf??

I KNEW you were on psychotropic meds...I just never realized until this post how bad the situation was...

SDPLV · 04-21-2018, 05:54 PM

1. "I need to upgrade my life." (E46 M3 owner)

2. "Where did you find one of these?!" (AAA tow bro & BMW service bro)

3. "This is 10 years old?! It looks brand new." (Three middle-aged secretaries on way to lunch while sitting in the back seat)

4. "You spend more time with that child...than your real child." (Wife - as I was headed downstairs to work on car in garage)

5. "Thank God you didn't buy an E93. So slow and lame." (Everyone else)

Megabrode · 04-21-2018, 07:09 PM

"That thing SOUNDS fast!"

"Wanna trade?" (family guy with a new Durango)

Kid to his mom: "Is that a race car?"

m3jala · 04-21-2018, 07:20 PM

"DAMN, that is such a NICE CAR"!!!

GerrS65 · 04-21-2018, 08:56 PM

Gas mileage better than the passat? I just laugh..

F80.Ferg · 04-21-2018, 11:33 PM

Neighbor- " nice car but I would never get one of them things"

Me- "why is that Fred "

Neighbor- cuz it ain't American

Me- oh ok Fred

MTBislife · 04-22-2018, 01:18 AM

Same here. Was out at a business lunch and a server came up to me and said "hey you're the guy in the garage with that beemer, right?" Had never seen him before..
Most often I get asked the "how much?" question. The estimates I get are always drastically overblown which makes me smile

Reminds me of when my old sales director stopped by the office to check in to see how the company was doing after he left.

SD: "Saw you got yourself an M3! Must have gotten a hell of a raise since I last saw you."

I think I paid the same price as when I bought my 2013 GLI new

Sure I'm making more money now then I did then, but people just don't realize how much of a bargain these things are!

Yeah, I still don't understand the obsession that many M3 owners seem to have with the E93, like the owners were uninformed and accidentally bought the wrong one. I wanted the best 4-seat convertible I could find, and I think I was successful. I notice that I can push a button and make the roof go down much more than I notice that it weighs more than the other versions.

Makes me chuckle to see owners of 3700lb cars making jokes about how heavy someone else's car is.

WGAS?
