My car gets looked up and down just about every place it travels to. Aside from the exhaust system getting everyones attention focused on the car at first, there's not a day that goes by where someone doesn't say something. I recently got asked about all the new work I did to my new X5 too. I doubt it will get as much attention as the M, but I was pretty shocked. There are a lot of enthusiasts out there, that you would never think are BMW lovers.

 

lol i got stopped by traffic cops thinking i was going to get a ticket yesterday in the city after i finished up a job..... but they stopped me to say damn you know how to take care of your car " i saw you surve and turn out of the way of every bump and pothole" i was on the west side near varick st.. man was i scared! lol i thought it was for running stop signs or something lol or my tints!

 

I get compliments every wea i go alot of negative stuff too since im young i get stuff like i hope your dad knows your driving his car i just dont say anything back because at the end of the day its mine i have my own place and no one covers my car note or my bill

 

"Why you washing your dads car for?" , then I show them my proof of insurance and registration all in my name and they just hate.

 

my car is always spotless and i usually spend about 1 day a week putting about 3 hours into it. the guy at my apartment complex with a black/black 2008 M5, always dirty as hell, never been washed always says "want to trade". I wish he was serious, although he recently traded it for some huge chevy pick-up. i dont know...

I have actually not gone out to dinner where i had planned before because the sprinklers are on in the entrance way to the resturant. there has been nights where i sat in my apartment starving because i have nothing to eat and it is raining out, and i know its going to be beautiful the next day and the car is perfect.... once when it was drizzling, i actually took my motorcycle to the store because the car was so clean.

yeah. im that bad.

 

I wash (once a week) and wax (once every 3 months) my own car. And yes, I get a lot of compliments, quite a bit of head turning too (I'm a girl and most people think it's my sugar daddy's car...people at my Starbucks (go there 2x day) were hitting on me, but told the Barista that most likely I had a sponsor
I have only gotten compliments from guys; I guess the girls get jealous since I get the attention, oh well tough sh** LOL

 

Don't sweat it, most of us here are "That Bad"!!

 

Most of the time people look at the car, then look at me, then turn back to the car and say:
"Ah, daddy's car huh..." (I'm 24 by the way)
After which i reply:
"Nope, it's mine"
After which they look either angry or scared.

I've gotten a couple of comments like: "You must be in the drugbusiness" but i just ignore those people...

With friends or just general "nice people", i mostly get compliments. I especially get compliments on the M-Tech kit and the rims (which aren't OEM btw, these are my winter tires so: replica).

 

I get lots of smiles, "nice car", thumbs up and people that ask questions especially when filling up with gas (which is every other day ).

Not many negaitve comments but a few sneers and disgusted looks from time to time....it's sad really, I just can't image going through life as a hater. It also bugs me when I'm checking out someone's car (repectfully, not to close, just looking at it) and they give you a sneer, like "what are you looking at....dream on....I am better than you because I have a fancy car" kind of look. Just crazy.

 

I was at the car wash a couple weeks back, I was sitting their watching them clean it when two Army guys in Camies were like look at the M5. I laughed to myself and also smiled because it is just a 530I. good times.
