You said your 4 series gets looks which means people have no idea what they’re looking at. That doesn’t mean your 440 is a show stopper. People just so happen to look for some reason. Maybe your exhaust is loud. Maybe they heard your intakes. Maybe your exhaust had burbles and they thought it was annoying lol.

The issue with bmw’s is that they are everywhere. Some people don’t know a 330 with an m3.

If you have a flashy color doesn’t matter what car you own people will look. You can drive a pink Miata and people will look, doesn’t mean it’s a nice car lol.

I cant argue this.

I’ve been checkmated.

I've noticed recently that as I drive by, women's clothing start to fly off (And some men's too).

Not to mention BMW are throwing M badges on everything these days.

I kind of agree with that. Most people don’t know M340i vs M3. And many more “M” things out there

True but not only BMW, owners as well.

You can buy M performance this and M performance that.

Just yesterday i had a 3 series try to line up with me with his badges removed, but he had m performance aesthetic mods done. So it could very well be an M340 or hell even a 330, i don't even know myself lol.

So true. That's why I try to avoid most m performance stuff. It's really for the guys without m cars.

Guys are more open about compliment but I'm shocked at how many woman pull up next to me and stop (prematurely) to look and I crack up when they look away after noticing I'm a woman. lol

[nearwater4me]

A few times I've seen guys taking vid/pic of the car while driving!
Yeah, it gets some attention.. mostly from import crowds.

And I will also add to this funny post.

2020 M4 white full pack competition - was catching some eyes, but everytime anyone spoke up it was clear it was moto fun, person knew what, mostly he is looking at.

2023 M4 comp dravit gray - way more interest from not only youtubers recording me from their cars or following me through the city, but also way more femals and families at the parking garage up to … this is best … over 70years old couple standing next to my car and talking to each other with huge smile on the face. Im happy as all attention is positive, with smiles, thumbs up, congrats.

The only issue is 99% of tesla drivers who will just act as I do not exist

Tesla drivers are a tough egg to crack, usually they are 50+ years old, so they don’t care to drive in a spirited fashion, etc., besides they are conserving battery life 🪫

Nah, just middle class ville for me but Morris county is pretty affluent. No shortage of high end cars here.

I bet no one snaps necks in Cambridge MA or on the cape either.

Fun/Positive: You will attract a younger enthusiast's attention. Porsche snobs will sneer at your car at meets. You'll get the occasional youngin' taking pictures of the car. Minimal gas station talk from other enthusiasts. Peace signs and waves from other M drivers. Gets a reasonable amount of attention but overwhelming.

Negatives: You have a BMW badge that most humans dispise. As a BMW driver you get no remorse on the roads. Everyone is an a-hole and the only way to work with it is to be an a-hole in return. Police will always try to pin you on anything, they will stare at you to find anything to cite you on.

2 for 2 dick magnets.

Although the other day at the gas station a 70+ year old woman commented that she loved the color of my X3M. So if that's your cup of tea.

[JDUNITNOW]

I live in Glen Allen VA and never see another M3 until I meet with guys ar Cars and Coffee. I get compliments all the time and the occasional picture taken at a light. People are desensitized to everything now and discount even there own accomplishments and its even evident here on the forum. I'm happy with my purchase and it was hard work and careful planning so I won't discount my accomplishment and my ego is stroked and that's all that matters.

Same. My wife thinks it's the weirdest thing ever...

Bikers seem to love it the most. Thumbs up all the time.

There’s lots of college aged in Cambridge so not no. But yeah Cape its a non-snapper

To be clear I am not after being an attention whore, just the opposite and hence my original post

PS I know Morris county a bit, and agree it is up there, if nothing else bc of its proximity to NYC jobs and opportunities .

[element56]

out having dinner the other night with my wife and much younger woman (under 25 my guess) parked next to the G82 in her open air jeep wrangler. hopped out and had a long pause as she walked in to grab take away from where we were having drinks.

on her way back to the jeep she pulls out her phone and starts popping selfies in front of my car. lol. so I tapped the remote for remote start and when it fired up she dropped her phone. fumbles to pick it back up and drove off.

my wife still laughs at the whole scenario. hope that makes the tiktok blooper reel.

🤣

I have never noticed any female attention at all and I think most of the guys won’t say anything to me, like at the gas station, because I am female. The worst was once i was filling up and some dude came walking out of the shop and said, yeah, but can you drive it?
So insulting. That dude might not have said that had he known it was 6MT!

I love seeing females in powerful cars. Once at Target I saw a lady sitting in the driver’s seat of a modded out Challenger. I told her that i love seeing a female driving a badass car. She told me that it was a stick and that I made her day.

[vmalho2]

I have bunch of dudes looking at the car and then they smile. Most people compliment the car and are taken back with how quick it takes off. The most talk comes at the pump.
