Kind of nice, guys in the UK will generally ask questions about what it is, engine spec and convey how much they like the car.

funny how it's always dudes jocking the car! whatever happened to the hot chicks checking out the cars...did they die off and now it's just hot chicks who don't give a f?

Had a few mums comment on it during the school run, but I wouldn't class them as hot unfortunately. I think you need more than a BMW for that nowadays... no matter how much you mod it

LOL, thing i, the more you mod it the more guys and not girls are interested. Guys know a modded car when they see it, girls just tend to think about if a car is "cute" or not - that's the reason my wife loves the Frog Eye Sprite and the Porsche 356, not speed or performance, but because they're cute.
That's the difference, if I could get a 2 seat track toy, I would get an Ariel Atom V8 - hands down, no question.

LOL, no, she doesn't like my car and doesn't understand my I feel the need to mod my cars. My only saving grace was that she used to have a coworker who had an M3, and she asked him: "my husband is always spending money to make his car different, more unique, or perform better, do all of you BMW guys have to do this?"
The coworker's response:
"Of course we do"
Never met him, but I coulda hugged him, the wife complained a lot less after that.

haha NICE! my wife and I use to belong to a car club back in Cali in our 20'-30's. she had her show and car and i had mine so she totally understands why i do what i do...but she couldn't believe how much more it cost to do things to the BMW than Honda's and Acura's

LOL, try building a race car bro. I used to go through $1200 in tires alone on a raceweekend, comparatively my BMWs have been fairly cheap to mod.
My wife has no interest in cars, nor does she like spending money. To the point where I replaced the brakes on her Armada (we bought it CPO) a couple of weeks back and I noticed we had the wrong caliper on the right front, which was causing the brake line to rub against the front axle and fray. I replaced the caliper and the brake line with the correct ones and she didn't understand why I insisted in spending the money.

my Integra was a race car...fully built for the track. fully built motor from the ground up, custom turbo, full roll cage and racing seats. it wasn't street legal...hence my user ID! I dropped serious money back in those days. i was sponsored by SleepR MotorSports. nowadays everything for those cars are much cheaper

LOL, thats for sure. The import scene is MUCH cheaper now. But those cars also hold their value very well.
