Who has the most M cars at work?

I don't even work at silicon valley but so far i have counted two e92, one e93, one e90 and two new f80 M3 and M4 in my parking lot. I told my brother there are more bimmers than toyotas now but he doesn't agree.

I see lots of M3's at work- at least 3 or 4 different ones every week! But I am in the dealer automotive auction wholesale business so its normal...

Not sure if this counts, but the parking garage where I live has no less than four M3s: two E90s, one E46, and one E36.

It seems like high-tech jobs attract more ///M owners. We only have 150 people at my business and there are three M3s (E92, E93, and an E46). Another guy is looking to buy one, and keeps asking me for info. Sometimes just seeing something around heightens your interest in that vehicle and puts them on your shopping list. I visited an aerospace company in LA that had a multi-level parking garage loaded up with Porsches. They also had a car detailing service that catered to that location.

My boss and I each had 08's, mine an e92 and his an e90. He sold his and got a new S4 then a few months later picked up a 993 turbo, but then again, he is the boss so go figure. I still own my 08 I ordered new.

I'm the only one. Few Porsches and Vettes though. As far as BMWs, 335is and 135is are all I've seen.

One physician has an e92 similar to mine minus the black wheels, however...he just never drives it.

I"m in an 8 unit modest small complex with underground parking and the list of cars below me includes...Aston Martin DB9, Vantage S, 2 Tesla P85Ds, Audi RS4 and S7, Subaru WRX STI , tircked out Fiat 500 Abarth and then my M3 (e93) and M5 (e39). Add to that across the street is a Tesla and Mclaren dealership that's loaded with a variety of exotics they resell. It's like Road & Track whenever I leave my apt.

There are only a couple M4s and my M3. Tons of teslas being LA.
A lot of the dudes in our building store their cars here though and so only a few guys own the nicer cars.
P1, 918 Weissach, 650S, GT3RS 991, 991 GT3 x2, F12, 458 Aperta, 458 italia, F430 16M, 550 Barchetta, Yellow SLR cab, couple RS7s, random CLK DTM w the odd side scoops. Some ding dongs drive those big new Bentley Mulsannes and I don't know why but people still buy endless amounts of Maseratis here which are super meh.

My favorite was when the guy with the 3 GT3s and the F12,918 etc had a daily driver that was an 09 M3 with some really tasteful track oriented mods.

I still like my car the best out of most cars here.

I actually love the fact that I'm the only M in my buildings parking lot. We have 4, and I know there is an e46M in my building, and an e90M at another one, but thats it.

I went to LA a couple weeks ago for a commercial shoot and will be back in a week for another, I feel like the Bentley is the car of choice down there, or at least in Beverley Hills where my hotel was.

I work in Century City (street is called Avenue of the Stars so just use your imagination) and Bentley and Porsche Panamera are the choices for luxury sedans around here. Maseratis are not far behind. There are a ton of exotic sports cars around and 911s are a dime a dozen. Almost everyone is an dipshit driver.

Yea I know where that is, for some reason it still surprises me that luxury sedans are the ride of choice. Even the Bugatti guy had a rolls instead of his bugatti out when I was down there for lunch.
