On Thursday my work crew usually walks to where there are food trucks but about a month ago I had to drive because I didn't have time to walk that day. Today the guy working the BBQ truck said to me
"Hey you drive that pretty blue bimmer to lunch today? The one that's easter egg blue? When I saw you in it, it sounded like it had some heat behind it! It's small, I have not seen one like that before, what is it?" I didn't know he noticed it, but I guess it's hard to miss.. |

Lady at the parking garage gave me a bad look and waved her hands for me to slow down... I was doing less than 10mph...
I guess it is not a good idea to do Sport+ and MPE in track mode while inside the garage. |

Pulled her out of the garage at my new place and an elderly neighbour washing his car shouted out "is that a ten?" To my confused expression he added "cylinders I mean." My answer was "no sir, just six very angry ones."

MAN IT LOOKS GOOD ON THE ROAD

had an old guy in a CTS-V giving me the nod and thumbs up tonight. He made an effort to keep up on the highway but quickly gave up. With 600+hp under his hood he could have taken me but obviously just wanted to show his appreciation.
That said, get a lot of looks with this car. Last edited by djacts; 08-21-2017 at 12:13 AM.. |

New 7 series got a thumbs up yesterday. More and more people are knowledgeable about the M2. Surprisingly, the individuals are diverse... enthusiasts or simply interested.
Over the last 6 months of ownership, plenty of attention, but only positives. It further cements my decision towards the M2... not due to others but it still gets my attention, bringing a smile to my face... driving, walking to my car and that ultimately is what matters most.. pride of ownership and enjoying my M2, quirks and all. |

Interesting thing happened at the first Cars and Coffee I've attended with the '18. Only BMW, Audi and other European car people seemed to notice, which was fine with me. When I had the GT 350, it attracted all sorts of humans and semi-humans - especially ones who had to touch it, try to climb inside it and lean on it (and drop a camera on it, denting a fender). There were also countless requests to demonstrate the open exhaust, one of which resulted in me being asked to leave the event.
I like not having the attention. |

BMW freaks will always notice, but they are rare.
Otherwise people notice two things with my car: 1. Color. LBB - especially women and children react. 2. Sound. I have catted Fabspeed downpipe. Comfort and Traction off
