Any unwanted attention?

This might be a bit of an overthinking question, but I’m curious—has anyone had any weird or unwanted attention while driving their BMW?

For the most part, the attention has been positive—lots of little kids and younger guys asking me to rev it, which is always fun. But I’ve also had some strange encounters, like being followed home, which is unsettling, especially considering there are plenty of high-end cars in the area. A friend of mine who lives just a few minutes away has a Bugatti, so it’s not like my car is the most attention-grabbing thing around.

I’ve also noticed some drivers acting oddly—slowing down on purpose in the left lane, then speeding up when I switch lanes to pass. Anyone else experience this, or is it just me? I’m not sure if it’s the colour but many people seem to stare, and it makes me feel a bit uncomfortable, like if it’s a kid I’ll start it up and even let them sit, I’ve had some really cute and wholesome encounters with younger kids that are enthusiasts but I had this nutjob who started screaming at me after I started my car up even though it’s stock with an MPE.
