I get compliments all the time. I have a few 650s and one is a 2012 650 6-spd. That's technically an 8 year old car!! Of course I keep it in showroom condition and have made tasteful cosmetic upgrades. People actually get nervous asking me what it is like. I think they assume it is a very expensive car and I must be really rich or something. This is despite the fact that I'm in one of the nicest areas in the Chicago suburbs.

The problem with the 8 is that it looks like another newer BMW and that's it. Or maybe it looks like a Mustang that that's horrible.
