Some things your right on, some things are your opinion (telling you that you're flat out wrong is a bit ... strong).
RIGHT: X5s are common in South Florida
RIGHT: the car does stand out immediately
WRONG: wanna be or poseur? LOL Sorry bro, but we do big meets here in SoFlo and there is mad love for everyone doing work on thier Bimmer.

www.floridabimmer.com So...
WRONG: ... being "laughed at" and "avoided" is also a very strong opinion. LOL Bunch of good guys in Florida. We all are enthusiast and we CELEBRATE everything BMW. If someone shows to a meet in a 1980 BMW, that car gets mad love. If someone shows up in a fully Harte M3, they get mad love. If someone shows up with ActiveAutowerks (BTW, big meet this Saturday at A.Autowerks in Doral [Miami]) supercharger, they get mad love. If someone shows up in a fully customized Hamaan X6? You guessed it - MAD LOVE! Oh, and there is also that weekly meet at Hooters every Wednesday, and the weekly car show at Towers. Again, mad love.
So, I gotta disagree with you ... cause your assumptions simply do not apply over here. Maybe in YOUR town, but not here.
