So I got a compliment on my F10 M5 today from a girl...
Unfortunately for me, said girl was about 300lbs (and unfortunately, I'm not joking)! Doh!
This is actually the second time I've gotten a compliment from someone of the female species. The first time it happened, she also happened to be married! Doh! Boy I can't catch a break I tell ya! Haha! Oh well, the M5 was never intended to be a panty dropper car like a Ferrari, Lambo, or R8 (you can ask Vic55 about the lady attention he's gotten in the R8 so far! ). But it would be nice if once in a while a girl would say: "Hey nice M5!" and not be 300lbs and not be married. LOL! All in all, I haven't gotten that many compliments on the M5 since I've owned it. I don't know if it's the Black Sapphire Metallic color or if its that people can't tell it apart from a 528i, but I actually got the most compliments on it during my 7 days driving it on European Delivery. Lol! What are your stories of compliments that you have gotten so far, from anyone and not just the people of the female persuasion?

I have gotten a few but mostly from guys, not ladies that don't already know me. That's what my new R8 is for (smiling from ear to ear)

Same here. I got a lot of compliments on the M5 in Europe. There were even people taking photos!
I was out for dinner with this Hungarian model I've been dating and she saw a Panamera (a regular V6 one) and was commenting on how much she liked that but no love for the M5. So naturally I put an end to that Porsche talk with a show of what 560hp in RWD can do! Only girl in the US who's been excited about my M5 is the office receptionist and she's married!

I feel your pain man. No girl has commented or glanced at my car anywhere. My GF, of all people, doesn't like my car either. The few comments I get occasionally from older enthusiasts/admiring looks from other BMW drivers make up for it My last car attracted too much attention from the wrong people anyways, glad I can be subdued and noticed at the same time.

I've always gotten thumbs up or lips moving to say "love your car" from drivers of both sexes when I drive to/from work on the LIE (Long Island Expressway) or Northern State Parkway.

I've gotten a couple from both sexes, but my car is a flashy San Marino blue on Sakir orange so it stands out. Plus a cab tends to stick our more then a sedan (couple of times ive come back to the car with ppl taking pictures with it) Being on the younger side I also get a lot of questions about the car and why I'm driving it. The funniest one so far though was when I was pulling into my gym a women around 40 was staring at my car, when I walked past her she said to me, aren't you a little young to be driving a Lambo. I just laughed and nodded.

Only dudes make comments. Never once has a female even noticed the ///M.
Confusingly, my little boxster spyder generates TONS of attention from both sexes. I've been flat out hit on by girls in the Porsche - so random. And guys have come and asked me if they can take pictures of it. Of course, the spyder looks nothing like a boxster, more like a baby Carrera GT...it's actually pretty bad ass

Girls don't really compliment guys unless they know them... From my experience. When i had my G-wag, that thing turned heads so hard I'm surprised i wasn't sued for whip lash. But again 95% male love. Its almost like girls feel like we do when you walk up to a model and don't know what the hell to say. Remember most girls don't know squat about cars, and the ones that do, you don't want comments from them . But trust you me, people talk about these cars. A trainer from my gym came up to me one time with his girlfriend and was telling her about the car. She smiled and said i love your car. Under the right circumstances girls will tell you exactly how they feel about bimmers, but again they're not just going to tell some random guy about how cool his car is. I love parking my car out by star bucks and catching a window overlooking the parking spot. You'll be amazed at how much attention these cars draw. Almost as much as my G-wag did. But again, if you want whip lash stories, you need to go slightly above the $100k mark to something like G-wag, ferrari, R8, Lambo territory.

The vast majority of people know jack about cars. Look in your office and most of us are the minority. Unless you have an SS or 5.0. People just don't care.

Anytime, my friend. You think I could bring that to the Palomar run, or is it strictly Bimmers? I still need to get it out on a true mountain drive.

i got 3-4 compliments every day for 3-4 days straight last week.
i seem to be getting more this year since i took the car out, than last fall when the car came out. maybe more people are becoming familiar with them. all were from guys. one day i remember it was one homeless guy crossing the street, one drunk guy driving an 8 foot high f-150, and a dude around 22 who told me it was nice, and then asked me if my car was faster than his. (he was in an Acura TL, and i had to ask him what it was - i just looked at him and shrugged) when i was driving the cls63 i got a few from girls. always young too, like 18-25. there's something about a Mercedes that attracts the attention of women. maybe they have the misconception that Mercedes are much more expensive, or better, than BMW's? when of course, they're not. |

lucky for you guys. My car seems to always attract some weird dudes. Happened several times already that I was followed by cars for a few blocks while the drivers inside those cars were trying to film my car. I could see what they were doing from the rear view mirror and it felt kind of weird.

dudes take notice from the outside, but once inside, chicks dig the sakhir orange. I think it makes them wet.
