It might be different in LA but it was like we were in stealth mode.
The 911 mind as well be a Toyota Camry in LA. They are everywhere and they will get you no extra attention.

Rolls Royces don't even get second glances. Yesterday I saw a 918 parked next to a GT3RS here in OC .... in a Whole Foods parking lots no less. I'm thinking the last thing on that GT3RS drivers mind when he left the house was that he was going to be somehow shown up by the next most expensive Porsche.

I see more McLaurens than I do Honda Civics on your average weekend day. And not even those get second looks.

So I doubt my AW M2 is going to attract attention from anyone other than those most enthusiastic enthusiasts. I like it that way. Anyone of us here (you included) could have bought a lightly used E/CLS/S/63/65 or M5/M6/760li or 911 for the same money if we wanted attention.

I saw another Blue M2 parking in Burbank. As much as I like the Mineral Grey, Blue really is the color for this car. every time I see that paint I want to purchase the car again. Will wait for the cs though

Definitely got a lot of attention today cruising around with a red ZL1. The red and LBB are definitely flashy.

Can’t go wrong with either one, but of course the ZL1 is much faster.

For some reason I see a lot of M5 cars and they seem to love it. Other than that many of the 20 somethings absolutely love it. I get chased down a lot.

It also does something weird at crosswalks. Some guys wont look at me or the car while they cross, but then I pass look in the rearview and they turn around and watch it go by. Has happened many many times just like that.

Yea it happens a lot . Just an ego thing . Or you’ll catch a quick glance then a stare at the butt when you drive past. Same thing happens with fine women too. Lol

Haha, is that really weird? When I'm crossing the road, I'm not staring at every car and driver that has stopped.

I've been getting a lot of comments lately. Just had a guy in a brand new Infiniti Q60 stop next to me and tell me he wanted an M2 but could not find one.

When I first got my F22, I had a guy in an E46 M3 drive up as I was sitting in a parking lot. He slowly drove by to get a good look, noticed me inside, and said "nice car".

I had a E92 M3 give me a thumbs up as I was sitting at a light and he proceeded to his right turn.

It's all about the BMW enthusiasts noticing, no one else matters. I always see you M2 guys no matter which color you own.

Its the way it happens. Its purposeful on their part. You can tell when someone just walks by and doesn't think about it, and some bro with a chip on his shoulder being passive then totally gawks at the thing on the way out.

I pulled up to a stop sign this morning, and at the opposite stop sigh was a white V12 Vantage. We nodded to each other as we crossed the intersection.

Last weekend in Verona, an all black Alfa Romeo followed me closely then pulled beside me. I thought for sure it was an undercover cop, but it was an older guy with his family in the car.

He asked me to rev it and take off, his wife looked so annoyed lol.
