YMB M3s are everywhere in South Florida

So, I’ve been getting calls from people saying they saw me driving. The thing is, these calls often come while I’m at work - I can only wish it was me they had seen.

The good thing about it is that my wife won’t know where I am. She saw another one near our house too. I usually have cars that are totally unique and thus easy to identify as my car. I kind of like blending in with the “crowd” for a change.

Yeah, YMB Ms are extremely common here in NYC, too. They look great.

As an owner of a YMB F80, I did not know this prior to having one... but these are some certainly interesting statistics that back up your point.

You get people calling you to tell you that they saw you driving?

Not a stab or anything. Just genuinely curious and this is coming from a Yas F80 owner.

Never seen another YMB M3 nor M4 here in St. Louis! Too much YMB can't be a bad thing though!

My family and a few friends ask if I am on such and such road. No big deal. But now that I have the YMB M I've started to notice a bunch of them where I live.

Hopefully neighbor isn't a douche driving around the town in his M4 and people mistakenly think its you.

I have to mind my manners (and putter around) at all times because last thing I want to do is be an asshole to somebody in front or next to me only to realize later its a neighbor.

I was swapping out my exhaust last week. As he was driving by, he actually stopped and we finally met and spoke about the M4 for awhile. Real cool guy. Planning on a cruise soon.
