*lol* Dead serious. Literally get stopped several times a week about it, people taking pictures as I'm driving down the road, on the freeway, at stoplights, etc. Most people have never seen one, and a lot think it's new, not realizing that it's 15 yrs old.

I don't think I get looks but the car occasionally does. But when I was driving my shiny new E30 M3 when I was 20 years old, I got looks everywhere I went

I've had my car a year or so. I sometimes get nods or waves from other BMW guys.

Honda's seem to do fly-bys.

American cars just seem to rev at me - even going in opposite lanes of traffic.

HOWEVER, I've noticed recently while at a drive-though that people look really hard at me and my car. I can't figure it out. I'm 29 but I have a sweet little baby face and look about 25. I worked my ass off and bought a car I enjoy and was able to pay for upfront.

I'm not sure if it's a BMW thing, or the CF hood/black wheels confuse people but I remember in my Honda days I got zero looks and all other car guys seem to go out of there way to give me a thumbs up, etc.

So, question is: do you catch people staring at your car or you while you're driving? I can't tell if the look is of jealousy (yes, typical BMW ego), or of fear (since I am browned skinned and young in a BMW maybe I'm going to rob them or hijack somethin?). My gut says (since it's older men 40s) that always seem to stare is that they're tryign to figure out what a punk kid is doing in a BMW.

Maybe my car is ricery than I thought. Who knows. Not that it really bothers me, but I'm curious:

Do you guys find people staring off at your car? I mean staring hard to the point they snap their necks trying to catch a rear profile?

I wish I got a thumbs up. All I keep getting is a middle finger...., assuming that means they want to do me, I'm quite flattered.


Or they are pissed because my Britney Spears cassette is making all the freshman girlies excited.
