A few thoughts on this... in Jersey, if you high beam someone it's immediate grounds for some form of road war or offensive gesture. Doesn't matter what you're driving or they're driving.
When I had my E28 M5, a middle aged guy came up to me and asked me what year it was. I told him it was an '88, the only year they sold the E28 M5 in the US market. I then asked him what he was driving, and he responded, "a 2002". Barely able to contain my excitement that I somehow managed to find a BMW enthusiast in Northern NJ (cause most people around here are asshats) I then ventured to ask what year '02 it was, thinking maybe it was a roundie. He looked at me quite confused for several seconds, and then flatly restated, "I told you, it's a 2002. You know, just a regular 325i...". That was the end of that conversation.
When we still had my wife's E30 325iXa, I would drive it more frequenty than she did and never once got a wave, a compliment, or anything. It was a lazure blau 4 door with beckers black lights, no rust, and regularly detailed... probably one of the nicest iX's in the area, and I believe is still somewhere in NJ (Matt, you out there??). But if my wife was driving it solo she would regularly get guys stopping her and asking her all sorts of questions about the car. Something about a cute girl driving an E30 that changes people's attitudes I guess...Mike

When i come across another e30 i try to see how the driver is and the condition of the car. If he is an old guy or a woman or if the car looks neglected i don't bother to beam.
Usually young people (around 20-25) on motorcycles at traffic lights, stare the car from top to bottom and give me a thumbs up or say things like: "nice e30" or "e30 forever". I think over here especialy for young guys the e30 isn't just "another old car""I am not afraid of people who drive fast, i am afraid of people who think slow" - Walter Rohrl

I rarely get compliments or exchange of looks from anyone that drives a BMW or e30. I generally get compliments from random people at gas stations and random places that used to own one. It is nice to hear people saying that they'd like to pick up another one as a project after seeing mine. I try to push them to get one.. save as many as possible!

I don't try to get into futile arguements, and I'm not all high-and-mighty becuase mine is an M3, but I usually say to them 'Oh, a six-cylinder!?', more often than not they say yes and I leave it at that, LOL

i get the most akward looks ever. just the other day i saw this really nice late model alpine coupe that was mint. i parked and got out to look at it. i was there for a while admiring it in my own way when this smoking hot chick came out and saw me doing this.. i got a really odd look and then she made a call. i left right away.
