I usually get the jaw drop face from guys with "WOW usually girls drive Honda's or Jetta's". ....Then they realize that I'm not like every other girl haha
Then from those who appreciate cars say "There is nothing like a girl who drives a hot bmw"...

I saw a fairly attractive young woman (maybe 25-30) driving a silver 335 the other day. the BMW somehow made her extremely attractive. i guess i am "that much" of a BMW fanatic.
ahhhh i love women!

Well , I have 545 black saphire and have received many good and positive coments like: you the man , your ride is very sick , you must getting a lot p_ _ _y!!!!! . Wondering what kind of positive praises you guys ever received , and are you guys getting any , if you know what I mean....!!! because of your ride.
women love the car for it being a BMW (suppose they have been trained that way), yet generally have no concept...their praises are commonly seen/heard later at night at home
best compliments come from the women in their man's car who cannot resist the urge to say "nice" and you see in their eyes that they wish they could be in my car.

I get this a lot too people wonder and comment about how a guy in his late twentys can afford a brand new 5 series.

uh...its called ambition, hard work and ability to do what others are not willing to do....
all co-workers wonder how you drive a car that is 70% of their salary. lol...i suggest being more involved with your investments. money always makes money... except with that one fellow...Madoff i think.

A guy at work thought my i-Drive was "awesome." I don't think he gets out much. He still says "awesome" afterall.
My wife compliments the car (clean, shiny, leather smells good, etc.), likes the heated seats when she's in a little dress and it's cool out. That one probably doesn't count. She also humors me when I drag her out to the garage to gaze in awe at the huge difference painting my exhaust tips black makes.
My brother was not that impressed. I had an e46 coupe in the same color just prior, so his only comment when he saw this one was, "It's big."
I used to get a lot of strangers approaching me when I had a 911, but around here a BMW sedan is just not that special.

2008 Subaru Tribecca
2007 335i Barbera Red with Sport Package

Lots of compliments. They look they like the ride and the power. When the engineers ride with me they act like a kid with a play station working all the seat adjustments and the iDrive.

With my old plate pretty much everyone asked why my license plate says EGO, and those who didn't say anything cut me off on the road all the time. :/
