About an hour ago I was just cruising on the motorway in the Netherlands on the way back from a customer meeting -- heavy traffic as usual -- and then another carbon black E60 on 19s came up next to me, the guy also in a suit braked to have a look at my ride, I also checked out his ride, and at exactly the same time we both looked up at one another and gave a thumbs up! Complements like that from fellow E60 drivers are always great!

It's a about a 50/50 mix.
Half are compliments and half are hate.

The kids are the most truthful with compliments such as:
"Yo, that shit is hot!!"
"Nice whip!!" or "Nice car!!!"
and/or the thumbs up.

Girls:
"Your car is puuurty."
"Is this a BMW?"
"Nice car, what year/model is it?"

Best hater comments received include:
"Why'd you buy THAT car?!?"
"Why are your wheels dirty?"
"You should have bought an M5."
"You missed a spot."

My responses are usually an enthusiathic and sincere "Thanks alot!" or "I try to keep it clean."
I've gotten the "You should have bought an M5" so many times I've decided to poke fun at my 08 535i and my personalized plates now read "WANAB M5"
