Dumbest comments. Hmm, I have a nephew who is a wannabe petrolhead do there are many. But we could go with "You should get an RS6 because it's much better." Asked him what made it better. "Look" (pointing at a magazine) "It's got more power and it's four wheel drive so it's going to be faster and better to drive." He bought one, kept it for six weeks and traded back into the 330D he had before because it was such crap. Fast, yes, but boring as anything, crazily thirsty and utterly soul-less.
Or "Demon Tweeks have got a sale on. they have some wheels that would look really good on that..."
Or "You can't fit a tow bar to an M5. Well, you can but there's no point - it would look bad and wouldn't tow very well." This from a BMW dealer. I then fitted the BMW removable towbar myself and have probably the best towing car I've ever tried.
Or "You'd be better with a new one because the residuals will be stronger..." from the same BMW dealer when the E60 came out.
Or "You could fit an LPG conversion."
Or "Why do you need such a big engine? The speed limit is 70 so you can't go any faster." My sister in law. Bless.
Wife when I brought it home:
"I thought it'd be an automatic! I don't want to drive this!"
Coworker spying the carseat:
"A car like this with a carseat?"
Me pointing out his Odyssey with carseat:
"Kids don't get embarassed getting picked up by mom and dad in this."
Has anybody been called out for having a fake m5 before? some kids called me out last night in a parking lot for having a fake m5 and i was completely caught off guard. im pondering if i have a fake m5 now because one of the kids drifts his e46 and said my carbon/caramel is fake so he must know his stuff

That must have been hard to take. I hope you will pull through.
I have a 10 y.o. son and I constantly get asked if Im going to "give" it to him when he turns 16.
My stepson when he was 10 once asked me, after a ride in my Porsche 911 cabriolet, "Michael, when you're too old to drive, can I have this car?" I told him yes. He was one pissed-off little kid when I sold it a few years later. He's not interested in the M5 because it's not a convertible.
As for the M5, I've been asked both with my E39 and back in the day with my E28, "is that a real one?"
