Ever come out of a store and find someone taking a picture of your M3?

Ever cruise through a small town school zone and hear some kid yell "Hey look, a BMW!"?

Ever had some big mean-looking dude flying his colors on a Harley pull up beside you at a light and say "Nice BMW, man!"?

Didn't think so.

I'm with Mark on this one. BMWs seem to be more for the old boring types
Not an exciting car to look at...

I've actually caught people posing for pictures with my car

I once had a guy take exception to my loud headers/exhaust -- he shot me this "there goes the neighborhood" dirty look. He was standing with his cute girlfriend waiting for the valet to bring his car outside of this trendy hotel. He started mocking the Boxster as poor man's Porsche. With my top down I could just hear him a few feet away. As soon as I pulled away two chicks walking over in 4" heels started ooing and ahhing and one took out a camera and started taking pictures of me driving away. LOL. Some poor man's car eh?
