Took a trip from nyc to Boston yday. Saw a grey g80 on the mass pike, and drove for a bit with a blue f80 on the hutch. Still quite rare to see an m3 out in the wild.

Oh did see an iomg x5m on 84 I think

I don't think this is right place to post and might see better traction on the USA - NY / NJ / CT / PA subforum.

In any case, maybe it's a location thing, but I live in Los Angeles and see them all the time. There are 4 G80s and 3 G82s in my apartment complex alone.

Hmmm . . . OP lives in NYC and doesn't see nice cars all the time? I've spent a lot of time in midtown and Westchester. Plenty of bucks and cars in both places.

As for Boston, it's full of wealthy Asian and Middle Eastern students. M cars are de rigueur for that group. The big BMW/Porsche dealership there even employs Mandarin speaking salespeople to cater to them.

That’s not what I wrote.

I see plenty of nice cars all the time. I don’t see m3 or m4s.

I live near Detroit Michigan and I've only seen one G8x on the road in the last two years. Maybe one or two f80. They're so damn rare around here.

See them here and there in Southern CT I95 area. There's a younger guy with a IOMG m4 vert i've seen driving around and an m3 comp who runs or works at the performance imports tuning shop in Stamford. I actually ran him last year on my motorcycle up to about 110(in mexico) and we pretty much stayed even. I was not aware how fast these were until then.

Apartments? Don't see too many at apartments. I guess luxury apartments or car leases.

I am from WB, now in LA. I am sure there are tons running around Bloomfield Hills. Kids that went to my high school had M3’s back then.
