Frozen cars get a lot of attention. People behind me are always pointing and holding their camera phones up. People to the side at a light are usually braking their necks. When I have my window down or am getting out of the car I always get the same questions.. which are now just annoying to hear.
But I liked the frozen paintwork enough to get it again and put up with the attention. If I didn't have tints it would be very annoying.

I switched from MCB to frozen grey because I wanted some attention.
I think the reaction to MCB is that people think you have a very good looking and sporty car. But it certainly does not draw a lot of attention. Mostly it's people you know complementing you on it rather than random strangers complementing you.

Thank you. I was thinking m performance because it's OEM, however, I'm assuming it's just rebranded with mark up? My sales manger was considering getting one fitted.
Is it possible to get something that is not intrusive when cruising, but v loud on WOT? |

I had an MCB on extended test drive - I thought it looked ok, but not great - the kind of colour that I'd get bored of looking at. But it's obviously very personal.
The black sapphire doesn't attract a massive amount of attention in London but driving tends to be generally quite aggressive in London whatever you drive. The badge does tend to wind up a minority, but I think that the black does quite a good job of generally making the car blend in.

who cares about attention? thats why I like Ms if I wanted attention I would be like every other jerk around here in a 911 or the corvette of Ferraris the California. I have had E30, E36,E46,e60 and Currently Have a X5 M and E90 M3
Soon to have a F10 M5. I love these cars for the shear fact that unless you are an auto enthusiast you dont really truly appreciate these cars cause most people dont know what they are. Some how I doubt other Porsche or AMG owners give each other the thumbs up, but M drivers always do |

they ask STUPID money for "m-performance", which is not different from original akrapovic, except for tips u can get valve controlled meisterschaft, if u want it quiet when u need it and my exhaust is pretty quiet (bit louder when idling, but not as dramatic as on NA engine ) unless u push your car |

M is not for attention, It is for driving, it is for driver only.
If wanna more attention, AMG may be better, the killer exhaust sound will definitely draw some attention. Several months ago, when I sat in my bud's C63, there was a blonde chick stand behind his car at the time he started his engine, and the beauty said to my bud "your car sounds awesome, I love it."

With respect to "Attention" I did London (Canary Wharf) drive yesterday all these London "M wantabees" trying to race me pathetic. One 330i was behind me for miles on the M11, I kept blowing him away but he just caught up and sat there.

I've only had one aggressive Vectra VRX driver trying to prove something by trying to drive through my car on a slip road, but one quick blip of the throttle seemed to do the trick and he passed by tentatively. |
