Same here, and I live in the DC 'burbs where 3 series are nearly as common as Camrys.

Last year, I passed another 128i cabrio on the Beltway and politely honked my horn to wave "Hello". The young woman driver promptly rolled up her windows and moved two lanes away from me. Maybe she figured I was trying to pick her up - but my wife was in the car at the time!

The other day, I pulled up beside a sharp looking Blue 128i (both of us enjoying a nice Spring day with lowered tops), and hollered out "Nice car". The other driver reflexively said "Thanks" and then broke into a big grin when he saw my car.
