Do you "look back" when walking away from your car?

Yep, I’ve had that happen to me too. Someone just messing with our minds!! And it’s never a nice car…

Hilarious! That is absolute devotion!

Of course! If you don't, you bought the wrong car.

Been almost a year and still in love! How can I not look back?

Side note... yea, my reflectors are missing. PPF shop was waiting for me to get back to them with the painted ones.

tropicatango · 09-11-2021, 09:22 PM

I always look back and have a little smile.

Navy Davy · 09-11-2021, 09:56 PM

People break their necks and/or do double takes to look at this car. Everyone loves it!!!

baege · 09-12-2021, 08:01 AM

a year and a half in and I do, especially when it's clean (which is pretty rare with a BSM!)

cb804 · 09-12-2021, 06:15 PM

I always look back and sometimes take a quick picture.

MVista · 09-12-2021, 08:56 PM

100% of the time.

Capt Canuck · 09-13-2021, 10:34 AM

Fortunately I don't commute - but getting early morning coffee before golfing - yes, yes I do:

Yes and also take a picture sometimes.

phriz · 09-13-2021, 02:59 PM

60% of the time I look back every time

We can't be friends if you don't look back...

I find that a lot of little glances gives me a better idea of what visual course to take rather than simply staring at the car for an hour one day.

I also really like how different the color looks in different lighting. I'm a photographer by trade, so capturing the "essence" of the car is something I'm always keen on doing, and that has to do with light. I've taken thousands of pix in the 2 years I've had the car, but I don't think I've quite captured it yet. I think the shot below, although just a snap in my driveway, is pretty close.

Oh, and sorry, it's not a Comp.

Ah so THAT's what Orbit Grey 763M's on an M2 looks like.

They're not missing. They're additional vents.

Not quite, the wheels in the pic are Prismatic EVO Grey, with just a touch of light added.

Zuzu · 09-16-2021, 05:27 PM

BigKutta · 09-16-2021, 06:21 PM

This thread reminded me of a conversation I had with my friend who drives a Bentley and a Huracan. One time we were walking to our cars and he commented how he loved walking up to his car (it was the Huracan). He said it was a great feeling for him to walk up to it. So I said I do too (to my M2), but I said I always look back at mine several times. He said he has never done that to his cars.

So I chalk that up to the following:

You love walking up to your car - You love yourself
You love looking back at your car - You love your car more than yourself

Agreed?

Boom. Drop the mic.

I'm in the same boat as y'all. Sometimes I take a pic. Sometimes I get off the couch at 11:30pm and walk out to the garage and turn on the lights... and then take a pic.

DanG · 09-16-2021, 07:54 PM

Hmm. All these pictures of your car. I usually don’t look back but love walking towards my M2. Great looking car. Only BMW I think looks better is my friends i8.

HelpMeHelpU · 09-17-2021, 12:34 AM

And sometimes I even snap a photo as I am returning to the car. :-)

At first I wasn't sure about the LBB. Now I am 100% positive.
