Hey guys I picked up my e30 from the shop with my f80 and driving back we spotted a G80 driving. I was super excited but the driver would not even acknowledge us! I was shocked. Any idea why? Do G80 owners hate the early generations?
Btw, I am warming up to the looks of the G8x. Seeing it in person driving was nice

LOL sorry but not everyone that drives an M car acknowledges others. Its not like you could tell exactly what he/she was doing. Maybe they were on the phone and focusing on talking and looking straight?
Alot of variables here but if I see another M - I usually give a thumbs up but thats me.

I can tell you that when I first bought my 2017 M4C if I had seen an E30 on the road I wouldn't have realized what I was looking at. When I bought it I just loved driving it. I didn't know the history of the M at all. I can't say that I know the history a whole lot better now, but I know enough that I'd definitely give a wave.

Maybe he's a total purist and was disappointed in the sound of your non S14 engine
Just joking, That's a beautiful car man congrats on the build! Personally I've come across two other guys in G80's on the highway when driving mine, that didn't look at me or wave or anything even in traffic side by side. Some people are just minding their own business and not interested in being part of a community or what ever I guess. I had a guy in a new M5 do the same thing, in fact he actually shook his head at me for some strange reason. Maybe he thought I was looking for a race or something which I wasn't. We were in traffic in Brooklyn. |

Yeah he did look over at us but nothing. I guess I took it too personal

Yea, as others said it depends on the driver lol some know their history and will give thumbs up (me), some are dbags and just know they have the newest M car and need to prove how cool they are and some just buy the car to use and seem to be oblivious.. there's a guy around here with a TZB F80 that is perpetually filthy and has at least one bumper sticker on it lol he never waved or acknowledged me in either my F80 or current M2.. I think he's not really an enthusiast and just likes the car for his own reasons.

Each to their own I guess.
I cycle a nice road bike but don't know much about them. I wouldn't have a clue if someone wanted to stop for a conversation about my crank or pedals or whatever |

We can now only notice other cars with similar huge grilles. Unfortunately your grill is still small and nice looking and not over the top so you don't grab our attention as easily. Now if you had a X7 on the other hand.....
jk there are people that are not car guys and just buy these cars because they think it's nice. I started with the e90 gen and I love all cars makes and models so I definitely will notice something nice like yours lol

Wait, people really care this much about what other people think about what they drive? Cringe.

Lol "not too much drone", entire video is literally him trying to talk over the drone. Nobody cares about your butchered e30.

Naive, ignorant, or inattentive maybe, but idiot is a bit extreme. Like my previous post when I first bought my 2017 M4C I didn't know anything about the history of BMW M cars (and I still don't know much). But, I could tell you everything you wanted to know about the history of the Camaro. I bought the M4 because I loved the style and the performance. It was only after I bought it that I began to learn about the history of the car. That doesn't make me an idiot though.
