I had just came out of the Movie theater and Saw a Father and son checking out my ride walking around it giving me props on how well it look. Kind of gives you that pat on the back as a job well done

Elie335 · 06-25-2011, 02:47 PM

too much, but the place I live a 335 is worth 100k and not 20k as in the US.

Keik E92 M3 · 06-25-2011, 02:52 PM

bmw's are everywhere !! they are not exotic...

BMWfan07 · 06-25-2011, 02:59 PM

my wife was freaked out a bit a couple weeks back when she said there were 4 guys checking out mycar in a parking lot when I ran into a store to buy something real quick. I have 15% tint all around but they had to know she was there.

username604 · 06-25-2011, 03:32 PM

you sure they weren't staring at your wife? lol

Geez, only $20K in the US huh (a little exaggerated)? Everybody would be driving one don't you think?

Anyway, my car is too stock for people to look at. But once in a while somebody does say its a nice car. Usually when I'm washing my car at brown bear or parked in front of my restaurant. I had an old Guy in a yellow Corvette walking around checking my car out once. He liked it.

Ain't that the truth.

sbce90 · 06-25-2011, 09:13 PM

Quite a few - but I don't go around attracting attention either.

francisomar · 06-25-2011, 09:14 PM

A lot, specially young kids, my daughters call my car the neckbreaker!

brecht · 06-25-2011, 10:46 PM

It really depends where I am, but in the college town I live in I get a lot of looks. Today at Dunkin Donuts an old guy came up to me and said "youve got a nice ride"

Wild Squid · 06-25-2011, 11:04 PM

Yes, but usually from other BMW drivers.

Thussy · 06-25-2011, 11:12 PM

It happens more often than I expected. I wish it would happen less. :|

sA x sKy · 06-25-2011, 11:23 PM

My car, at least the rear, is what attracts most peoples attention. Whenever I'm at a stoplight, the car in the lane next to me, always stops short of my rear. I look at my mirrors and see him/her checking it out. Same situation has happened numerous times.
