Garage ratings
Not sure what is going on here. I have a nicely modifies M2 M Performance model that still looks brand new. Why do people rate this M2 below a 9?
It has over 12,000 views. Who knows how many have rated it. I also notice some other OG M2s seem drastically under rated. Anyone have a guess what is going on?

I literally have no idea what this post means. Maybe I’m getting old and missing some ‘down with the kids’ lingo?

I assume he is talking about the Garage List rating that shows in his profile and is available here: https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/bp...=view&id=21693
(BTW, I would bet DanG is older than you). |

And I am old also. P.S. When you rate a car you get 0.5 reputation points and the car owner gets 10 reputation points.

With no disrespect but probably because the pictures are pretty bad. Location, quality of the pictures, lighting, ect.. I bet if you got some nice pictures it would probably be higher, that said 8/10 is not bad.

My M2 is one of 384 AW DCT imported in 2018 model year. As an M Performance model upgraded by the port, it is even rarer. That is what should matter given that it is in excellent condition.

If I had to be honest, for me it isn’t that ‘special’. I know it’s a rare model but most people won’t know that. Also, M Performance is just ‘off-the-shelf’. For me, a high-scorer would be when someone has gone to town in making it their own and made something truely unique and interesting to look at/figure out what they’ve done. Not trying to be harsh, just being up front. Same reason I wouldn’t consider my car anything above a 6-7/10.

I'm guessing it has to do with the fact that it's not a real "M" car....

Just a joke man. These ratings mean nothing. All that matters is that YOU enjoy your car. Who cares what people on the internet think.
And, for what it’s worth, I agree with the dude who mentioned the quality of the pics being a factor in getting higher ratings. Your pics do not do your car justice and do not show the kind of pride/passion that you write about. 3/10. |

When you consider how rare an M car is compared to all the other cars and SUVs BMW sells, they all deserve a high rating. I am not a fan of the G series Ms but they are much better than the G series non Ms.

Also its not a photo contest but a good photo goes a long way in showing the car. Easily can make a 8/10 car look 9/10 |

I rate LCI higher myself and would not rate LBB lower because yes there are more of them but imo its a fantastic color. How many white cars are there in the world? a bazillion, how many LBB? not that many so I think that is flawed logic, I think LBB is a more special color than white and hey I have a black M2c, another not special color that anyone is more than welcome to rate 8 or under
