Childrens take on the M coupe

O-cha · 01-11-2009, 11:19 AM

Children, who are innocent to the world of cars and the "status" a BMW supposedly brings, who don't know the difference between a kia and a ferrari or how much cars cost ETC.

Their take is "That's a nice car mister" I've heard that from kids tons of times now, probably more then adults comments, and never heard it with any other car.

So on pure aesthetics ours cars are "nice", well the coupe anyway.

Every time I have taken the M coupe out I have gotten tons of compliments. Even when I was at Mfest.

yeap, I was driving my m coupe when some little kids just shouted: "nice car!".

in the usa, I even had people take pictures with my car. haha

I have had kids tell me I have a nice car a number of times. But only every when I was driving either my Z3 or my Z4M.

Have gotten far more compliments from kids (and women!) on Z3 and Z4M Roadsters, than any other cars I've driven.

I can attest to the same for the Z4 Roadster. Was driving to work one morning with the top down. A couple of young lads -- maybe 12 or 14 years old -- walking down the sidewalk as I came to a red light. "Hey, nice car!"

Guaranteed to put a grin on your face.

As a relatively new owner I'm always amazed at the looks from everyone around me on the road and the comments seem ceaseless. The one car in my checkered past which got the most attention, BY FAR, was my 02 MINI. I'd gotten it when they'd just come out and noone had had ever seen one.

It was almost tiring answering the never ending barage of questions.

+1 for the MCSc. More so than any of the other 40+ cars I've owned.

i've had people take pics of my roadster in the middle of Beverly Hills...lol tourists i guess...

or maybe it has something to do with my movie-star good looks??

I have gotten negative attention from women (30's+), and more thumbs up from guys. My neighbors always smile and wave, except this one old guy. At night a couple of kids have asked me if I paid 60k for this car...Girls usually smile and stare. In the city I get random comments downtown. It has been a mixed bag with me, and so far, no one has said anything to me at a gas station! My Audi TT still gets lots of attention and admirers who give thumbs up, and I think it's just easier to approach in general. When I first got it in 05' I remember a kid flipped me off.....that was the one and only time it received negative attention. All in all I love the bimmer....it looks like a fighter jet!

yep, yep. My 02 MCS and 07 Z4 Coupe got the most looks and comments than all my other cars.

Yea I'll never forget the time when we were at a 70+ car meet and we were all pulling into the parking lot at a park, I was there were tons of cleanly modified m3's m5's 6ers etc etc etc, I was the only Z4. As I pull in this kind standing next to his mom goes "MOMMY, THAT ONES MY FAVORITE EVER!" as he points at my car
