What comment do you usually get?

[Andy 85 M635]

Not always, but every so often I get comments on my car, usually in parking lots or at the gas station. Today's question was the typical one I get: "Dude, what year is that?".

I'm just curious what the most common question everyone else gets?

[suabbyM6]

I can't go anywhere without some dude wanting to look and talk. Kind of fun but it does not seem to attract the girls. Oh well.

[Dman 635]

I get the same question usually. I got a great compliment from a teenage kid at a McDonalds drive through the other day. He said "dude, that is the coolest car". Coming from a kid that probably drives a lowered Honda Civic with a coffee can exhaust, it was the coolest compliment.

people that are familiar with the model and comment on how well my cars are kept and how well they look for their age.

Occasionally, I'll get the" what a cute car, what year is that?"

Of course, most are surprised when the find how old these things are.

I was refueling once and in the adjoining island a 12 year old girl asked her dad "What's that?" Dad looked over, paused and said: "Grandpa had one of those, a BMW." He looked over, smiled and gave me a thumbs up.Joe

"Kind of fun but it does not seem to attract the girls."

Must be something to do with you, Ron, cuz the babes are all over me when I show up in the car ..........NOT !!!! :)

Typically it's a version of..."This is the car I think of when I think about BMW's-Best one they ever made"! etc.

what an ego.

This time from a couple just wanting to break the ice. Turns out they picked up an E23 735i for $400 that "runs great but needs some cosmetics". Since I have owned and fixed up my share of the E-twentysomethings, I offered up all kinds of advice - probably more than they wanted!

"Wow, what year is it?". But they usually have that sort of reverent grin, like they wish the wife would let them have one.Bill-'94 740i

I get comments on how beautiful the lines on the car are. When they then here the engine roar, that when the "What the [email protected]#% is under the hood?" comments begin. My fellow Sixer Tom Tunnell often tells people "It's pure evil."

[just for fun]

Are you talking about the car?

Best when it comes from the guy standing behind the parts counter at the local auto stores.

is when the valet parking guys back it in a slot up front with the new Bimmers and Mercedes.

[opiate]

The best one was a guy at the gas station in the postage stamp suburb I live in. Hey man you wanna sell that car? I had one and it was THE BEST car I've ever owned. Boy I sure would like to have one again... wanna sell it?

I think I said something like, you don't have enough money to make me part from my baby. If I told you you would think I'm crazy.
