Funny thing is abck in teh day (around 1989) when riding with my dad in our e30 325 he would wave and get waves back all the time, but then again you didn't see many BMW's back then. It is much different now with so many of them on the road nad so many people buying or leasing them for the wrong reasons. Like I said, they don't get it.

"the wave" is a Corvette thing.... 9 out of 10 times I wave to a fellow vette owner i get one back.... I guess vette owners are just more friendly
 Save the wave! ____________________________________________ The "Corvette Wave" is an integral part of the mystic and culture of the Corvette owner experience. Corvette owners who wave at fellow Corvette owners show a mark of recognition that you are among the elite group of intelligent people who are driving America's True Sports Car. And as a member of this elite group, you should be recognized for your pose and intelligence. So for those who don't know the five simple Corvette Wave rules, here they are: There is no excuse for not waving at your fellow Corvette owner. Although most Corvette owners have the class and understanding to accept when their wave is not returned, not waving is a serious breach of proper Corvette etiquette. Whoever sees the other Corvette first, starts the wave. There isn't any rule about who waves first. This is simple; if you see another Corvette, wave! Rules 1 and 2 apply to both sexes. As far as who starts the wave, it doesn't make a difference if you are a man or women. Rules 1 and 2 apply. Any type of wave is okay. Whether you shoot a big wave up through your open Vette top, out the window, or a quick salute with your hand on the steering wheel, any wave that can be seen by the other Corvette driver is okay. However, this does not include any style of jester that can be interpreted as obscene or insulting. Remember, Corvette owners are a class act; while someone might have been rude or stupid to you, try not to return the favor. (This is a tough rule not to break with all the stupid drivers who manage to get a driver's license.) A late wave is better than no wave. If you suddenly realize that a Corvette driver is passing and waving at you, get a wave off as soon as possible. The other Corvette driver may see your wave in their rear view mirror and realize that you where just a little late in getting your wave going. Although missing the timing of your wave is a "goof," this can be acceptably covered by getting off a wave that the other Corvette driver has a chance to see. So you can see the underlying concept here is simple, Wave at you fellow Corvette owners, whoever they are, whenever you see them. This will show you are a person who understands the full measure and etiquette that comes with your proud ownership of a Corvette. Dan Woomer (LCCC) wrote and published these on October 23, 2003

Yeah, my Great Aunt Tillie used to talk about the "Corvette wave" - one year it was almost a semi-bow

Always waved in the SAAB (years ago, with a mid seventies 99 EMS).
Always waved in the Morgan. Always waved on the BMW bike, but only to other BMW bikes. If Hondas/etc waved, I waved back. Harleys never waved, lol. Can't imagine waving in a BMW vehicle today, there are at least five X5s in my block, as well as a sprinkling of 3/5/6/7 series.
