Get lots of great comments about my 1 from others.
Best one for me came this past week.
I Let my cousin drive my car. (he has a 645 btw)
Anyway while moving at a nice clip on the parkway we came to a "reduce speed to 45mph", work zone warning, To which he said...

"This car does'nt go 45 mph"!

[cagekicker]

he's right!

We were having a practice autox session before our track time at Sebring International Raceway in FL and one of my instructors, who had just hopped out of a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder, jumped into my car and went for a quick lap while I rode shotgun. After taking it past 7k in 2nd gear and through some curves he turns to me and says "wow this car is better than the gallardo I was just in!!"

I was sure he was just kidding so I said "yea ok, are you serious?" And he said "seriously, this car is an animal I don't know what you did to it but it's superb!"

(this was after I had upgraded my suspension though... and... other mods, heh)

I saw my valet guy open the hood to check the engine out!
I talked to him when I picked my car up where he said I should flash it. He was Bimmer man too

this past weekend i met up with the usual E46 M3's i meet up with along with some other bad ass cars 2 911 Turbo's, a SL600, Lotus Esprit, M6 and R6 and the car the got most attention was mine, everyone kept taking pictures, checking out the exterior/interior closely and asking who's car it was and telling me they really liked it. i was really suprised that my car got that much attention over all those other super cars

While we were stopped at a Visitor's Center on the Blue Ridge Parkway last week, some woman on a motorcycle said that the 135i was a "nice unit".

When our M-sport 128i was parked in near the Neuschwanstein castle a 20 something blond walked by and said "I will take that one with the red interior.". I guess that validates my mid-life crisis car choice.

A guy with an 8 series at a car show telling me.. "dude that thing is f'ing sick!"..

[Excitmnt94]

while i was out golfing on Friday with my father, there were a couple guys checking my car out. as we drove the cart back to the car after our round they saw the cap i was wearing and they were like..."MISTER BIMMER MAN...SICK CAR!" they asked about 20 questions about the car and were just really cool. when i mentioned how much power and torque the car had they asked if it literally flies in fourth or if i have to get it into 5th or 6th gear for the car to lift off. then they asked about upgrades...when i told them what was possible with a "chip" they asked if i wanted to hunt down 911S cars or what. nice ego boost.

The best comment was shortly after I bought the car, my girlfriend at the time and I came out of a local restaurant to find a guy walking around my car snapping pictures... a picture is worth a thousand words..

A 997 Turbo driver gives me thumbs up and salutes me on the highway, with his girl next to him. I was very surprised but I replied of course.

[forestjump]

"i hate BMW's.. but that is nice"

[Simsims]

a kid in his toyota revved his engine @ a red light while his friend in the passenger seat did a MAJOR WoW look with his face and mouth looking left and right @ my car.

he looked so funny.

My best comment out of the dozens I have received in the last year occurred yesterday. Cory Friedman of Autometrics in Charleston, SC owns a E46 M3 and is a seasoned PCA, Speedvision World Challenge, 24hrs of Daytona, and Grand Am racer. He did an alignment and suspension adjustment to my car yesterday. After he finished he took it for a test drive.....when he came back I asked if he had pushed the "on" button on the car before he took off...with a confused look he said "no". I then pointed to my little Vishnu keyfob and told him to push the "on" button and take it for another spin. Upon his return with a shit-eating grin on his face he says to me: "Do you want to trade for my M3?" That just validated my purchase in so many ways....

Being told how fun the ride is from passengers 3 and 4.

[d1ko7omy]

From a friend who got his license banned after having too much fun on his heavily modified 240sx:

"Holy shit, my adrenaline is rushing. I didn't expect that, this thing is a beast!"

[Citizen Z]

I was with my sister and two of her friends driving through the Mark Twain National Forest in Missouri, going easily double the suggested speed limit (25-30mph for most corners) and would occasionally get stuck behind a minivan. My sister told me later her friends said loved it when we'd "jump to warp" (going from 30mph to 95mph)" while passing. The fact that this car can impress with a driver +3 passengers is awesome.

[Smokey]

Best comment came from a dude in an Alpina B7 who said my car was sick

Other memorable mentions:

Guy in an M5 gave me thumps up on the highway.

Two days after I bought the car, I was at a traffic light when a hot chick in a Nissan Altima pulled up next to me and said nice car and gave me her name and number

[ToXiC]

I was driving on the highway today, and I noticed a guy in a CTS pulling up beside me and he kept glancing at my car, he gave me a nod and I gave him a thumbs up, later at a stop light he rolled down his window and he complimented me and we had a little talk... never had something like that happen before, so it was pretty cool.

Funny thing is I was all set to get a CTS and then I fell in love with the 1er. Kinda weird considering they are very different cars....

I'm glad you bought the 135, because the CTS is one of those cars that looks kinda ugly today and very ugly in a couple years. That's one reason I used to like Acuras, they always looked nice even when they were 10 years old. The latest TSX and TL designs really let me down though.

Mostly I get wide grins after I give them a ride. I also had a woman in a 3 series give me the thumbs up and fall in behind my 128 vert. On one drive, I took a corner a little more quickly than they were expecting and got a loud scream (like on a roller coaster) from one middle aged back seat passenger. In my brief time with my one it has held four passengers a couple times including one car seat. The back seat is small but quite usable. The car is a lot of fun.
