Honest Compliment since getting E90

thxbuff2001 · 11-10-2005, 11:45 AM

Honestly, since having your bimmer, how many times have you had somebody compliment your car? After only just 24 hrs, I've got 2 compliments, 1 in our parking lot and the other while pumping gas. And after almost 2 months, probably more than 15 verbal compliments and numerous second look tries. They may not admit it but I know it when I see their awed faces.
They just dont know that this is not just a pretty car, but a very nice machine to drive. Most of my compliments come from those driving hondas and zions.

That tells me more than you can imagine

txusa03 · 11-10-2005, 11:51 AM

did not know texans are very complimentary folks. I guess that depends on where you live and your personality. All that matters is I know it is a sweet car to drive.

most people who buy new cars get some type of compliments from people....even when I bought an outback i got many compliments the first month or so....

Except for the badge is there really anything special about the styling of the e90 that screams I am great car???

I've had a few strangers comment on how nice the e90 is, but mostly, people look at it while pretending not to look at it, know what I mean?

ON325i · 11-10-2005, 02:17 PM

compliments come from my friends usually, any negative comments i have, they goes "but it is a bmw!", lol

puck724 · 11-10-2005, 02:27 PM

just a few...ive gotton more feedback form the apple sticker on the car...imagine that..

jlr · 11-10-2005, 02:29 PM

Men/women, black/white young/old have all said my car looks great.

An old person said what a wondreful car I had and said that is what he wanted when he grew up. If it were the old days I would have take him for a ride.

Atty · 11-10-2005, 02:44 PM

Not that many...and not nearly as many compliments as I used to get on my old Harley. People would talk to me nearly everywhere I went.

ska///235i · 11-10-2005, 04:41 PM

People here in Boston dont give compliments..but you can see the "Hatin" I their eyes...lol

ABR · 11-10-2005, 05:02 PM

My best friend asked me what I'm smoking when I told him at first...

I actually think that most of people have got pi$$ed. Ah, who cares! That is Toronto anyway (too much stress for most).

fredtoo · 11-10-2005, 05:06 PM

The 328 gets way more compliments than the 325.
I think because the 328 is red.

northerncalguy · 11-10-2005, 05:41 PM

I am still waiting for the 36-24-36 compliment to sit on my lap. Something tells me I have to do alot more to get that.

But besides that, there have been a couple of BMW 330ci owners who've given me a nod.

Lot's of Volvo drivers looking at me weird -- so those guys get to see tail lights.

Bimmerista · 11-10-2005, 05:45 PM

I got a compliment today from one of my clients who is also a car fanatic like me/us, I actually had to give a ride back to his office so he could see how the car handles etc.

Barry626 · 11-10-2005, 05:48 PM

Having this BMW 5 months now, lucky if 3 people said it was nice.
I got unreal compliments & people chasing me to see my 300C.

blackE90 · 11-10-2005, 06:35 PM

Do you guys ever wait at a light and the people crossing the street point at your car...that is the best haha

connermd · 11-10-2005, 06:55 PM

A co-worker asked me if I was having a mid life crisis when I showed him my new car. Does that count as a compliment

?

I was asked that one too!

cannonspike22 · 11-10-2005, 07:15 PM

too many ppl have complimented the e90, i got tired of keeping count

thxbuff2001 · 11-10-2005, 07:39 PM

Probably maybe because I live in west texas and people here are more open and less envious about somebody. They give credit if credit is due. Nothing to be ashamed about.
