Lol is that supposed to be a good or bad thing? The GTR only gets attenion from car enthusiasts (almost exclusively dudes). Now of course this question depends a lot on the color. I once saw a 435i M Sport and it turned everyone's head including mine but I'm thinking it was mostly due to it having the LED headlights. Those LEDs look mean as fck

Quite a lot by people who know cars. I have yet to see another on the road so I guess not many people have seen the new Ms in the flesh!

Why do you care. Of course it gonna get some attention initially it's brand new. It will be old hat before you know it.

To the average person, a BMW is a BMW is a BMW. An M4 may as well be a 328i unless you have it cosmetically modified. You'll get attention from enthusiasts, though.

I think there is some truth to this, BUT the car enthusiast will always know what you're driving. You could be in a black-on-black-on-black-on-black-on-black-on-black ///M3 with tinted windows and an enthusiast will still spot/recognize you going the opposite direction on the freeway. We just tune into these things.

I actually agree. I live in DC and M3s are not as common as Civics, but more common than let's say Passats.

I've had 2 other cars with their phones out recording me on the hwy... Everywhere I go people look... while I was with the group delivery guys that was even crazier everywhere we went turned into a photoshoot

A pastel colored lambo will turn just about every head (non-enthusiasts included), just about anywhere. That's what I think of when I hear attention-grabbing. |

Man... Imagine waking up in the morning at one of Sabine Schmidt hotels with 20 M3s and M4s in the parking lot with a couple Gt3s, 1Ms and an Audi R8 mixed in, then going to Spa to race all day with the track to ourselves for 2 hours then driving on the autobahn together at unrestricted speeds to arrive at castle... and the next day you're attacking the Nordshcleife... dream come true! I highly doubt anybody has had a bigger euro delivery experience than we did

Once you've owned and lived with an exotic and have experienced real attention, questions like this become irrelevant for "normal" cars. Non-exotics may get looks here and there. Ultimately, the attention level for a clean and new Euro luxury car is a 2.5-3.5 whereas a true attention-grabber exotic is an 11.
I'm betting most exotic owners will buy the F8x to fly under the radar. |

nothing on my end yet. The only thing that is getting noticed is me realizing how hard it is to keep my BS m4 clean
then again I have yet to drive it anywhere besides in town and I live in a super small town
