Car people KNOW the car. I've had non-car friends be like "oh you got a new car, looks nice". People that know cars are literally giddy with excitement when they see it. I've been shocked though at how many BMW owners have no idea about the car. People will strike up a conversation about it because they recognize it as new, but they'll have no idea what an M3 is even though they're driving a decently new 3 series or something. Just seems odd to me
There is one other new M3 in my neighborhood that I see out occasionally, and I always flash my lights and wave excitedly at him thinking he will be equally excited about his new M3. He always looks at me like I'm demented, so
