Strangely, I've not once gotten the Corvair comment, maybe they didn't sell well in the South. Agree that women don't usually go out of their way to comment, the one exception is taking it to an art exhibition. Then watch out 
What’s you best/most common comments about your car?

My most frequent comment is "how's the car going?"
I used to be Mr. Fortnight because that was how long whatever thing I was working on was going to take. Then it became Mr. Month, then Mr. A Month Or So, then Mr. I don't @#!*ing Know.

I got a note on my M6 window " If you ever want to sell, call me. My wife made me sell my M6 when we got married, she's not my wife anymore!"

Sure, if you count the emblems on the hubcaps on my original alloy rims. That makes 8.”)
+ 4 valve caps & 1 on the steering wheel.
Same day I bought the Eleonor...
Me and my brother brought the car to the garage and we spent some time to drive her down from the trailer (no brakes!).
While we were considering how to do it, a kid on BMX/downhill bike was passing by.
He stopped suddenly and told really loudly: "what a CAR". He was looking with true amazement and kid's eyes never lies...
I think it was the one and only "WOW" on my rusty, dirty and incomplete E9.
I wouldn't be surprised this moment was life-changing in kid's life ...
... like for me long time ago

I counted mine also and came up with 8 for the outside. I think the c-pilar roundels catch many by surprise as this is the only BMW with that feature -- one of its best IMHO --
So that would be an 'unlucky' 13? or maybe 13 is a lucky number for some -- I have the steering wheel so 9 total

My #1 question by far is “What color is that?”. Never fails.
I usually respond “blue”, and then the discussion devolves into which BMW blue it is (nachtblau).

Not exactly a comment, but shortly after I got my coupe I made a quick run over to the local drug store. I stopped at the parking lot exit and waited a couple of seconds to make a left turn. As I began into my turn two college aged guys came running out of the restaurant on my right with their phones out trying to get a picture before I disappeared. I was in the middle of the road by then, so really had to continue on my way, but I had a huge grin on my face from seeing these guys running out of the restaurant to see my car.
Your car is beautiful,

that’s awesome

the best one: I watched a guy talk to the car, he paced all around it for 2 minutes-full conversion with coupe.
Recognize the comments mentioned here, especially the year, is it a 6-series? and "did you do everything yourself?", but my personal best feeling was during driving on the highway and having a modern Porsche 911 GT.. holding next to me for 10/20 seconds, checking the car and then putting his tumbs up!

Your wife gets under your car?
I parked in town behind a friend's also-silver newish Ferrari 360, as he approached his car from a shop. He stopped in his tracks and came to do the two minute walk around (must be common absorption time frame..) and said "they really got that one right...you know, any a**hole with money can buy a Ferrari, but that's really something"

I really love these posts. Coming up with the best is tough. Most common is easy; at stop lights, gas stations, parking lot, thumbs up, etc. And yes, I’ve even observed the two minute walk around. The one thing I wish I could recreate is that feeling I experienced when I saw an e9 for the very first time.
I guess I will just need to be content with the comments I get “every” time I take it for a drive.
Drove my wife to her friend’s house to drop off a Christmas gift, across the street a garage door opens and a Tesla comes out. He stops, gets out and takes a picture, I can see an E24 also in the garage. He says “what a coincidence, my buddy just texted me a picture of your car at the grocery store yesterday, he knows that’s my kind of car”.
