It's all up to the driver and certain categories of drivers prefer certain cars over others although there are exceptions.
I know it won't solve any problems but why not just get in front of him and mess with him a little bit...jus saying you have the faster car. I had this kid in a Toyota Camry V6 tailgating me on the freeway with his high beams and flipping me off. As he pulled into the next lane to pass, I just sped up and blocked him off just enough and wait for him to start tailgating me again and brake check him a few times. He got the message after awhile and dropped back lol.

I love a lot of different cars and feel lucky to live in an area where I can admire a ton of them. I don't know why people get chips on their shoulders and have to be dicks. lol.

Playing that game may also back-fire. Maybe he puts you in the wall or fires off a couple of rounds from his 9mm in your general direction. Not exactly the smartest move in the world then, is it?
If you're in the passing lane and there is a vehicle on your back that wants to go faster than you, why not just let the guy pass? Either speed up or get out of the way. You start pulling off that $h!t with another well-hung individual like yourself, all bets are off. Is that what you really want? Carnage? Endanger your own life and that of others because your little ego is hurt?

So, you are stooping down to his level, then? I gather you also drive a BMW?

Haha no I was in the C63. I don't even bother when I'm in the 335i. I know it's a relatively "slow" car compared to the C63 plus it's the newer N55. It's like the grocery getter lol.

On the other hand, in my C63, I sometimes almost drive borderline like an a**.

Brake checking is just plain down retarded. I will admit to getting up close to another car occasionally for brief periods. I don't do it to **** them off, but to let them know I would like to pass (obviously only if there is no car in front that is holding them up).
I often see cars cruising along with a whole string of guys behind waiting to overtake. The guy just doesn't move over because the person behind him is keeping a "safe" distance and it doesn't look like he wants to pass.
Just the way I see it

Ill never understand brake checking and the aholes that do it. I could be going 100mph, if I see a car come up behind me faster, I move over, period end of story. Totally with you on the ego part, its a real shame that people choose their ego over being safe and generally courteous (vs hostile) to someone else.

Brake Checking baaaaddd. If you can move over just do it and get back in your lane, that's what I do.
Back to the original topic of M3 drivers, they do tend to be a little bit of jerks here in LA, but I think it's mostly an age thing. Met plenty of M3 drivers who were older and would admire the C63 just as I would admire their Ms.
Problem is out here, alot of the richer kids go out and are able to afford an M3 as a first or second car when they are under 20 thanks to daddy, which naturally makes for a bad driver in a fast car that wants to show off. I think its much more of an age = jerk driver in fast car than the car itself. It just so happens that more of the younger kids go for the M3 because its 0.001 seconds faster around the track than the Audi or Lexus or MB in alot of car magazines. You know, which obviously makes their car the best since its faster by a miniscule amount in the hands of a professional driver.

Lol, I’ve seen a ton of ******* M3 drivers here but I was also next to an E46 M3 driver in bumper to bumper traffic a few weeks ago who got excited when he saw my CLS55 and gave me a thumbs up when he went by… also mobbed to work with an F10 M5 a month or so ago and he also gave me a thumbs up when he hit his exit.
