How do you reply when someone asks you what you drive?
For me, it depends.
If it's a regular non-car person, I say "2 series." If it's a car person, "M235i." If it's a hardcore BMW enthusiast, "just a 235" lol. If it's someone that wants to race me, "stock."

Since I typically de-badge my performance cars,my reply has always been "BMW sedan,nothing special"

I'v never really thought about it, but now that I am, it definitely depends on who is asking. If it's a girl I'll say "a BMW", if it's a guy I say "an M2", and if it's a car guy I say "a Lotus" or "an Exige." They're really just different responses for different levels of conversation.

Last car was F32 440i, but to most people I'd just say 4 series. New car (almost here!) is an M340i, or a 3 series as it shall be called. |

I normally say M6 because it isn't a terribly common car, from that you can judge if they like cars or not and to go further or not in the discussion

Like others in this thread, I have other non-BMW vehicles. My answer will depend on who I'm talking to. If I don't want to get into a conversation about cars, I'll say that I drive a Hyundai, which is my wife's car. Though I drive it way more than the M3. If I want to convey something more respectable, I will note that I drive a Jeep. If they ask what model, I will typically just say a Grand Cherokee. If it's a car person, I'll add "SRT". I'm careful about mentioning the BMW because right or wrong, people think you're fancy pants if you own even the cheapest, highest mileage used model. I usually reserve the BMW for closer friends or car enthusiasts. And even then, I just say that I drive a BMW. If they ask for more, I will them "M3".

I just unlock my smartphone and play a 2 second voice recording of my exhaust note.
They then know and if they don't, they're simply not worthy... |

I just say "Depends on the weather. Usually a Ford" since in the winter at the cabin I drive my aging 2003 Excursion.
