I pulled into a parking lot yesterday behind a 340 M sport. It was a really nice color blue, clean and and shiny. As I head towards my perfect end spot, I see the driver is doing the same. I park behind him. As we both exit our vehicles, I say "Love the color, what is it?" He looks at me like I have two heads and says Blue. No shit. I started to ask the name of the color but knew it was useless. The car gave me the impression he was an enthusiast. Are the demographics of the BMW driver changing or do we here the minority?

I've encountered this many times. I'm both a BMW enthusiast and a Jeep enthusiast (I also own a '98 Wrangler). Nothing like complementing someone on their car, or asking what lift their Jeep has only to be greeted with a blank stare like I'm a psycho. I'm convinced most people know nothing about cars, and if it is modded, was probably built by someone else and they bought it because they thought it looked cool.

We are the minority. Most never know any of the specs about their car. I could tell you any option or features of any car I've owned, and can usually spot them on other people's rides with just a glance.

But most just see it as a way to get from point A to B. I want to enjoy my ride as you spend a lot of your time in a vehicle. I kind of look at it as my sanctuary as I've tried to condition myself that this is where I turn work off everyday as I'm leaving the parking lot!

Run. I caved under pressure and I'm scarred for life. You can't unsee it.

I was in the grocery store a few days ago and saw a lady with a similar hair style to prancer lady and immediately felt a little nauseous. All I could think about was DAMMIT MK.

You really took it all in. I don't remember what her hair was like, someone has a crush.

To him, it's a BMW (aka a status symbol) and nothing more. I like to think the enthusiasts have all made their way to the watering hole that is BimmerPost. The cool kid enthusiasts made their way to the OT section.

I can take the pressure! I’ve never watched two girls, one cup either. Sometimes you don’t need to actually experience something to know how bad it is.

Unacceptable.

This is where we are. In the past I tried to explain to an ///M driver that the paint colors for ///M's were named after Formula One racing tracks and got a completely blank stare. I now ask, whether they actually like cars and enjoy driving or just want to own a BMW as a status symbol. It doesn't always go over well.

How are you, love?

You should also advise them to check their BMW logo carefully - if it has the blue segments in the upper left and lower right quadrants, then it could be a counterfeit - genuine BMWs have the blue in the upper right and lower left.

BMW NZ did that one April Fools Day in NZ - took out a full page ad warning people about counterfeit BMW - they got hit with 1000's of calls from upset owners that they had been sold a fake BMW

I'm great. Survived Mardi Gras by not going. Unlike kscarrol. Muahahahahahahah!

I just bought my first BMW. I feel great!

Darth One · 02-26-2020, 01:09 PM

This is not my confession but i thought it was too good not to share.

At a work dinner last night, we were talking about the most shocking things we’d seen on TV. One woman said that she was watching America’s Most Wanted one night and she was shocked to find that the episode was about her ex-boyfriend

Years ago, I saw a beige Accord with M badging & the M stripes all over it.
