Celebrity BMW Enthusiasts?

I've noticed that Anne Hathaway is getting a ton of attention for driving an i3 around LA, but are there any other Bimmer Enthusiast celebs out there?

I'm not talking about collectors of cars, but serious driving enthusiasts. I know Seinfeld has a thing for Porsches, but I'm surprised I haven't seen many celebs riding around in BMWs.

Please feel free to prove me wrong.

Paul Walker supposedly had a lot of nice BMWs in his collection; multiple E30 M3s, an M1, E36 M3 LTW, etc. I think he raced an E92 M3.

Adam Carolla (formerly of the Man Show, Loveline) is a pretty serious car guy and has (or at least had at one point) an E46 M3. I listened to one of his car-related podcasts a while back and remember him discussing he was a pretty big fan of performance BMWs.

It looks like Frank Ocean has a pretty mean sleeper 1990 E30.

I wish there were more celebrities who viewed cars this way instead of using them as trophies that end up collecting dust in a garage somewhere.

To quote Jalopnik, "Lindsay Lohan goes through various Porsches like I go through socks."

At the risk of sounding like a grumpy old man, who cares what these so-called celebrities drive? It just doesn't matter.

Lighten up, its a car forum so we talk about cars. Sometimes the topic veers off into lighter subjects, but there are a million other threads to talk about hp, torque and other mechanical topics.

YES!

Also, Robin Thicke's wife did the i3 debut a few years back at the LA Car show, Paula Patton.

Either one of those ladies are easy on the eyes.

He had a brand new AW E92 M3 coupe when they came out, so yes, definitely counts haha.

Tanner Foust has a CB E46 M3.

I don't know what your problem is. I commented in a nice and respectful way. There were two ways I could have gone with my response, and I chose the non threatening and less confrontational one.

And not asking you to be sensitive to celebrities, I'm asking that you don't be a jackass to people in this thread. If you're not interested in a thread, simply don't click on it. Its pretty easy. Thanks buddy.

lol... "whatever" is the typical response women use when they are proven to be wrong about any given subject, consequently being put in their place...
