Thanks. I made it up for this thread but I may be on to something LOL.

Yes - we are a bunch of dudes that say "i love your car bro- got anything done to it?" maybe a fist bump, exchange of social medias

or if driving- drive like d*ckheads- obviously without blinkers

I don't know about handshakes but I got headlight flashes from M3/M4 all the time. I am in a G87 M2.

CJ421 · 01-11-2025, 12:33 PM

I give thumbs up to other M cars and usually get one back.

This is not a thing. Lol. Head nod at best, and honestly it only applies to owners of the same class M.

Any time I see another Bimmer here in the Midwest they always flash their headlights, especially if they are younger.

I've never noticed any hand signals lol..

The deuce is saved for fellow motorcycle riders.

Almost as friendly as when I’m out in my Wrangler.

Okay, FIRST thing to learn about BMW ownership:

"Beamer" is a BMW motorcycle

"Bimmer" is a BMW car

I honestly don't know that I've ever been waved at, got the bird, peace, or anything in the M3.

Funnily, I often get waved at by Jeeps when I'm in the old Land Cruiser. I assume they mistakenly thought it was a Jeep because they are quick to pull that wave down when they realize

Would it be this?

The members in the G29 forum simply honk their horns and wave when we see another Z4. 😉

NickyC · 01-15-2025, 01:15 PM

Not sure, but comparing lease deals is the likely equivalent in the ///M community.

Like this? Don't you show each other tits?

When I got my first M3 in 1998, I would wave to other M3 owners but invariably got nothing back, so soon quit.
