[ryanc528]

whats some funny stuff that has been said about ur car..or questions or anything


had a buddy of mine today ask to see my battery. dont even ask why. so i told him sure and it took him 20 mintues of looking under the hood before he asked were i was hidding it.. i laughed a little:clap:clap

[geezerman402]

Once had two Staples workers ask if my E36 was a V8, and if it got good fuel economy. Of all the questions to ask...

[AshamedGorilla]

Not really about me, but just a general thing:
I think its fun to watch people try to open the hood on an E34, and the look on their face when someone shows them that its hinged opposite the norm.

[gannetboy]

Came back to my car after being parked at the mall and there were two boys aged about 5 or 6 looking intently at my car while making "vroom vroom" noises. I said hello and they looked at me and said "Is this your car?" "Yes" I replied...

Their jaws dropped and one said "Oh wow, is it a REAL racing car?!!!"

Made my day! :D

[Amir@AvusAutosport]

This was at a meet a couple weeks ago
e90 owner: that's a bmw???? It's sooo old! Is that really a bmw
Me: (after laughing at what he has to say for a couple minutes) No it's a 79 civic
e90 owner: WHAT really? Why would you put a bmw badge on it?
Me: I just wanted people to think I'm ballin
e90 owner: seriously, it doesn't look like a bmw
Me: I know I told you it was a civic
e90 owner: but why would you put a bmw badge on it
Me: I told you I want people to think I'm cool
e90 owners friend with a Jetta comes over: It's a bmw he's screwing with you
Me: Ok cats out the bag yeah it's a bmw it's just oh so old :D

[M633CSi]

B start talking about the payment plan they have with there parents. or C just say o ya know like 15k 16k right around there.. puts a little smile on my face

[xtremsiege2]

When i had my first 325is 4-5 years ago, I had some guy in a Hyundai try to get infront of me. When the road merged, he laid on the horn like i was suppose to let him go first despite me being infront. I, being a young idiot of 17 or so, flipped him off and at the next light he started yelling at me. In between the rant, he goes "why don't you go give your dad his new car back" Car at the time was a 325is and was far from new. I found it to be hilarious at the time, the guys car was newer than mine to begin with, those Hyundai owners!

[mfratt]

"Is that your daddy's car?"

"BMWs are not German, they're British, duh"

"Its no E30." :shifty

[TopasBlau46]

LOL

last week someone in traffic (as was i) that was driving in the opposite direction was stopped and goes:

"that's a beautiful car son, how much did it cost you parents?"

to which i respond:

"nothing, it's called getting a job, terminology that most teenagers wouldn't understand nor include in their vocabulary"

and then i sped away as my light turned green.

[e30bmw]

I've had my friends confused trying to open my hood. Same with moving my seat forward to get into the back and opening the windows...

[eLegg]

Where's the window switches?


Is yours the bluish BMW? (Arctic silver)

[Snork]

Some people are all like "why is your car on fire?"
It's a bmw, that's why. IDIOTS!

Back in the day...

"MIIIIIIITCHHH PLEASE DON'T KILL USSSSS" - Girls riding in my car. They said I missed a turn to the place we were going, so I did a moderately illegal U-turn that may or may not have included a lot of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

"IIIMMMM GOING TOOO KIIILLLL YOUUUUU" girl in my car when i was "learning" how to drift.. she got rather close :shifty

"What year M3 is that?"

"I'd take it"
what do you drive?
"a GTI"
what'd you do to it?
"it's stock, i've blown away a few M3's before"
nice...

[CLEANM3whipz]

^ clean M3, loving the csl rims and bumper

thanks, is that silver E36 your M3 in your avatar? My favorite E36 M3 color is silver, there was a 4 door for sale in my area. But when I checked it out it was $14,995 with over 100k and automatic. I see myself going back to one as a dedicated track car one day.

[genesismachine]

"Nice car, but why is it purple?"

It's not purple, purple is for girls :shifty

-What is that an M3?

[Brashland]

-Your car doesn't have a battery?

:lol add that one to the list...

Batteries are in the trunk for many models.

I was at the dealer trying to compare a stock E36 suspension with mine. Salesman come out to the used lot and asks if he can help me. I told him I just wanted to compare a stock E36 with mine. He responds "... Uh, what do you mean by E36?" I told him a 3 series built between 1992 and 1999 like my convertible. "Oh, THAT kind of E36 because different people call them different things..."

[billygoat777]

A lot of people at my school seem to think that e34's are an '02+ model

[DinanS3]

had a guy in Windham Maine offer 5 k for my 02 70k miles Dinan prepped 330ci. He was like... Id give you 5000 right now.

[alpmaster]

*Loser kid comes over with his skank girlfriend as I'm putting gas in my car

Kid - "Damn son, is that a M3?"

Me - "ehhh, yea..." (not bothering to explain the concept of a swap)

Kid - "Damn son, dat shit is mint!"

Me - "..."

*kid walks away


And also:

- "Hey, nice car, what it is it... a V8?"

- "Nah, an inline 6"

- "What the hell is that?"

[genesismachine]

"Holy shit, is that an M3?!?!"

*confused*... "yeah... so? It's a good car"

"Those things are crazy expensive!"

"Not really, I paid 12.5k for mine. If you buy one though, you'll be spending a lot of money making it 100% perfect, and the mod bug will hit... But the actual price of the car is pretty low"

"Whoa. That's less than I paid for my car [new Honda Accord]... " *Look on his face is saying 'I'm a dumbass for buying this Accord'*


This isn't really about my car, but when I was looking for my car, this used car salesman tried selling me a Jetta. Told me 'Girls love this car. You will get so many girls with this' :rofl

One of the few times in my life where I was speechless

[typeS4]

Some dumb bitch thought my E36 was new after I got rid of the E46. I asked her if she thought the E46 was from the future.

[MiniXP]

One of my friends gets in my car and says "Is this an M5??"

Same kid asked me if my dads 530 was and M3...

Also I was at a gas station once and some guy comes up to me and starts tellin me how nice my car is then he goes inside and he was talking to the cashier about my car. As he was leaving i see him get into a brand new accord.

[Stage2Active]

i owned an M coupe, some looser kids on ricers wanted to race......so i raced all 5 of them at the same time.

*at the next light after i smoked them all*

Kid= "yo that's one fast Honda Civic".

Me= "..........."

[3SeriesPLZ]

Gas station:

Dude: "Damn man, nice car, what year is that?"
Me: "96, gettin kinda old."
Dude: "Yeah, but they are expensive..."
Me: "What year is your civic?"
Dude: "04 EX"
Me: "You could have bought a couple of these old expensive things."

My house:
Erik: "I want to upgrade my headlights to HID's."
Me: "How much are kits for your car?" (97 civic)
Erik: "150$"
Me: "Well thats not too bad for all new lenses and stuff"
Erik: "Thats just bulbs and ballasts."
Me: "You should have bought a BMW..."

Other times too, but really all of my experiences come from people thinking my car is worth 30 grand or seomthing. I tell them I got it for less than 7k and all of a sudden they feel crappy about pretty much whatever other car they wasted their money on. It's fantastic.

[cohny]

damn makes me wish mine was 7k. 13.9k for an E36 M that has been in rain 3 times since its conception with 62k miles is worth it though.

[SilverBeam]

I was on a fieldtrip with one of my classes. It was intense: 7am until about midnight out in a nature preserve. The parking lot was right next to where we spent most of our time. At one point everyone was talking about my car. They kept telling me how nice it was, and how lucky I was. So I asked them how much they think it cost me. One of the girl said, "oh, at LEAST 40K!"

That made me feel pretty damn good.

[Rose City]

At a gas station two hicks in a beater asked me how much my car cost. I said enough because its none of their business and I wanted to just brush it off. And they said how did you afford it and at this point I was a little offended because I hate that question because, once again, it is none of their business. So I said I sling rock on the street.

He said "you think thats funny kid? I'm an undercover cop, and he flipped his badge open."
I was pissed, and I responded, "like it matters, I'm not under oath" (my buddy in the passenger seat later patted me on the back for that answer, as at the time he was scared shitless)
And he hit the gas and drove away while his buddy in the passenger seat pointed at me eerily.

Odd experience and kinda uncomfortable

[Idriftane30]

when i had my e39, i had a pic of it on my folder, and this kid asked me "is that an m3?"

this dude im cool with at school told me my 635 "looks like a rally car!":confused

there been other stuff, i cant remember right now.
heres one about some elses car

so i was at home depot, and im getting pissed because the line were extremely along and there was only 2 open. so this guy that works notices that i had on a volkswagen shirt (the one i got from dubwars last year) so he ask
home depot guy "you drive a vdub"
me "ya, but my sister usually drives it, i have a bimmer"
home depot guy " o ya, witch one?"
me " 85 635csi"
home depot guy " cool man, ive been looking for one of those"
me "what do you drive"
home depot guy "i have a jetta daily driver, and i drift an m3"
me " is it an e36?"
home depot guy " no it an e30, its all built up for drifting, i even have an is rear end on it"
me now sensing that he is full of shit
me "do you still have the 4 cylinder in it?"
home depot guy " there is no 4 cylinder m3, the motor is no based off the 318 engine"
by this time just finished paying
me "o i didnt know that, well see you later"
that guy was a fuckin moron!

[joebmw]

going to the nyc one night, i was driving my e34 and i had a few friends in the car going to a bar. one kid asked me "is this a m3?" i answer, " no i wish" (this is before i bought my e30 m3). the kid responds, "you sure?" :confused

[NollieStylz]

Smoking a cigarette outside of work next to my car, guest asks the security guard and myself if we know whose car the 'beemer' is. So I say it's mine and he says it's really nice. Thanks I say and he proceeds to say "that thing is DUMPED! Did you have to cut your springs a lot to get it that low?" That's when I chose to keep the conversation short lol. Nice guy though.

[spoonerDee]

"Would you sell it for $50k?" (not a buyer, unfortunately)

"That thing is FWD, right?"

"It must be nice having your parents buy you a new car."

"Your dad lets you use his car?"

"Did you get the V6?"

That was my point... I shouldn't talk. I'm only here because I was raised around BMWs and am saving to get my own.

To stay on topic:
This kid at my school though his 540i had a 5.4L V8 engine. I then proceeded to explain to him how the nomenclature works (although its not really perfect in this case,) he told me to "Fuck off, I think I would know more than you."
I then asked him how he got such a nice car, he didn't answer got in his car and drove off with a look of defeat on his face.

^ haha "THAT THING GOTTA HEMI?!"

One time I tried talking to another E34 owner whose car I spotted in a lot. He didn't look like the kind of person to give a shit, but I start off with just a nice

"Hey man, nice E34."
- "It's not an E34, its a BMW"

:rofl

Then one time, oddly, some guy was walking around my car in a parking lot, I went to get in, and he was nice, he was like, "What year is that?" I reply with "How old does it look?" or something like that, and he's like..."I dunno I'll say a '01 with worn seats" and I'm just like oh LAWL, its a '93!

lol I hooked my aunt up with an '02 M Roadster, I drove it to her from out west and I got a few of these:
That thing a V6?
Nope, I6.
I6? What's the difference OR Yeah, whatever same thing.
Umm...no it's really not the same thing. At all.

Most people have no idea what my 650 is really, I get a lot of "hey, what kind of BMW is that" or "nice car dude" etc

When people comment about driving my dads car/my dad buying me my car I just say I sell drugs. When people ask me how I afford it or how much it is I usually say "I don't know dude, I stole it" That usually shuts them up long enough for you to peace out.

One time I had an older lady come up behind me going about 65 on a twisty back road, I was going about the speed limit (50) because I was about to turn on a street, I realized it wasn't the street I wanted so I sped back up to 80 or so and she hammered it and passed me very slowly. She slams on her brakes, motions to the side of the road and such. Instead of pulling in behind her and getting out of the car, I pull up beside her and she starts FREAKING on me, saying that I was going slow then when she tried to pass me I floored it (when in reality I just sped up normally (or what we beemer drivers call normally) or whatever... long story short she says "Give me your license, I'm taking it to the police, you young drivers are a danger on the road and you are losing your license rooooaaaarrr." I say "Like fuck lady, your insane and if you come near my damn car I'll knock your ass out, I don't care if your a woman you seem manly enough to me, take your cavalier and drive off a fuckin cliff" She says "Your parents shouldn't allow you to drive their vehicles etc." I say "Luckily this is MY car and my parents are about 1000 miles away, not to mention if you called my dad he would probably think you were a crazy bitch." I waited it out and made her drive away first so she didn't call in my damn plate, I already have a few calls and they keep that shit on record.

Another route I thought about taking about the parents thing was "yeah, my daddy bought me this 100k car, I have a boat worth a half mill and a 9000 sq ft house too, am I a bad person for that? Are you gunna cry?"

I don't think I would say that, but it would be funny. The opposite route of the whole FU this is my car bit. I work damn hard for my car payments, but I guess there's the jealous and the honest.

Not about a BMW so I'll keep it short:

I was driving around the Noble and parked it at a karting place. When I came out, a bunch of kids were standing around asking me what body kit I put on my MR2...

Driving a red 8 series has gotten me some odd comments. One guy working in the gatehouse at my school goes "do you have any idea how rare those cars are? you should hang on to that thing i mean those things are RARE" .... I told him I had no idea and that I just liked the interior when I bought it.

At a gas station not too far away I was filling up one night and a guy walks around the pump ..."DUDE IS THAT AN M7??" (No typo). I go "yup."

Then my psychology professor pointed at the car when I was dropping off a paper after hours and asked if it was a 6 series. I go "yup."

A remarkable amount of people know BMW models but have never heard of an 8 series I guess.

Its literally more attention than I want. My next car will be a tan Camry.

I really wouldnt feel that bad, the 8 is a rare car. The people that dont see them that often dont even know what the hell it is. I was the same way when I saw my first 8 series.

My autoshop teacher, a certified GM tech, and I were talking about flushing my coolant. I was asking him if he thought I should fluch the coolant, and he said "Wait another year or so, this car isn't that old yet. Typically people wait until the car is two years old and do it every two years after that"

I was thinking, dude, this is a 2000 not a 2007 :rofl
