Sadly no, but thanks for the compliment.

But, I think we can all agree-it always a sausage fest. Lol. Lol

The one I always get a kick out of is "wow, you were lucky to find one in such good condition!". I just smile - they have no idea.
The comment I am expecting is: "You must be Don Lawrence".
Lololololololol

I think this one slipped by everyone. Lol
Being in the Michiana area I think the most often comment has been “ beautiful” or wow it’s a BMW but I’ve never seen one of these, what color is that and what is it?...as they walk around it. Even a couple BMW salesmen said similar. They never had seen one.
I you wait long enough it will come full circle and you'll be 'Mr Millennial.'
Thank god I'm not in that age bracket... Also glad I'm not a Boomer.
"Hey is that the car from Knives Out"
Mostly though it is a thumbs up from cars pulling up next to me at a light.
The best was heading into Boston, an M4 passed me so I hit the gas and blew past him. I saw the thumbs up coming out of his sunroof.

Gorgeous pic.
Similar thing happened not too long after I got my car (back about 10 years ago now - jeezzeee... time flies)...
I was driving near Seattle on a multilane road - waiting at a traffic light. I was stopped behind a station wagon (old school one - late 70's big old Ford or GM... don't remember that much) - and there were two kids sitting in the rear seats - facing me. I was one lane over but going the same direction. One of the kids saw the car and started pointing at me and saying something and just making a fuss about it. The kids pulled out cell phones out and started taking pictures just as the light changed. I think the kids were telling dad - driving up front- about what they are seeing and asking him to pull next to me... or something like that. I had to make a turn a few blocks up so couldn't stick around too much - but all three of them (kids and dad) gave me big smiles and thumbs up as I made my turn. Made my day.
Another one was when I was getting gas in my E23 (a 1985 Euro 728i). A young kid in a tricked out Subaru WRX pulled up on the other side of the island (the Subaru had the loud exhaust, was lowered, big wheels - all the 'stuff'). The kid had tons of tattoo's, nose ring, more earrings than I could count, a mohawk - he was right out of B movie central casting for a young punk. LOL... He got out of his car as I was finishing up. He said - "Love your car - My Grandpa has one - but it is not as nice as yours. Really Cool... " or something like that... That was too funny. Just goes to say that even though we all don't have the same choice in what we drive - we all can appreciate other classics we see on the road.

Love that scene.
"You know they are made from Confectioners Sugar" - Scott Sislane commenting on my wife driving Athena in the rain to The Vintage in Winston-Salem in 2012.
"Do you drive that in the winter?" asked the man at Starbuck's. Me, "No, the salt would kill it, that's why you never see these." Man, "So not well made then." He was driving a rusty pickup.

Left on my windshield.

Oh so many over the years, what is it? yep, with all the badges in place, but I still politely answer BMW.............whats that color? etc ........On the Batmobile's I have heard "why would you do that to such a beautiful car" that one I accept with grace, because if they don't know, its a reasonable comment.
My favorites are being at car shows and listening to the "experts" telling their friends about it and one I have heard more than a few times "is it a V6 or V8 in there"

I think the coupe is so mesmerizing that the badges disappear. The brain is just not calculating fast enough.

Just for fun on a this winter day, I’ve been cruising coffee and cars on YouTube. Curious how they have been dealing with Covid, I became so bored with all the super cars, the Porsches, and most of all, the tarted up Japanese rockets. Oh how I longed for the mesmerizing profound simplicity, and elegance of our e9s. I also noticed there were no e9s to be seen, not even in sunny California.
One of my friends (?) took a quick look at my Bavaria the other day and remarked "Nice Rambler"
I'm new to E3's, so now I guess I own a Rambler and a Corvair.
