With respect, Victor, that is absolute rubbish and you know it. Until recently i've been running an 01 Forester and a 911 convertible - I saw it every day.Your driving will determine how much attention you attract from the law, the car has nothing to do with it, it doesn't matter if you are behind the wheel of a Micra or a Lambo..
I'll make an exception for the Gardai.;)As for the attention you get from other drivers;
A) you have always maintained that you couldn't care less what others think about your car, and.
A Forester has one exhaust, and it's quiet. You don't really notice the vent that much on a sandy beige car. I'd prefer if it wasn't there but hey, somebody has to feed the intercooler.
A Forrester with 2 big fairly noisy exhausts and a huge gaping air vent on the bonnet is hardly discreet.0 -

Ugly as hell though.
The problem with the modern M series cars, as I'm sure someone else has pointed out, is that "Q-carring" them is quite difficult compared to the old days. Take the badge off an E34 M5 or the alloys and spoiler off a Lotus Carlton and the untrained eye will find it pretty difficult to tell the difference from a stock car. The same can't be said for a modern-day M5, for example. For a start you'll have a giant hole in your wing where the ridiculous M5 badge goes. A replacement exhaust set'll probably cost a few quid too...
I wouldn't go that far with any of them though. Despite the angry rhetoric of the angry-child above, you simply can't compare the likes of a Lotus Carlton with a modern-day M5. The M5 screams what it is, the Carlton simply suggests that there's more there than meets the eye. I don't like screamers in the coupe or saloon format, I'd prefer something neat and relatively unassuming.
With the possible exception of the E30 M3 of course, the only 3 series M car worth a damn.

Now you have confirmed what I suspected earlier, you have no idea what so ever about cars, resorting to childish comments like blinged out wankmobiles, then refering to other posters as angry children, you really get your point across in a mature manner!
Knock yourself out with a Lotus Carlton by all means, it was an ok car in the 80's but nowadays it's just a crap car, only made worse by you removing the spoiler and thus removing a major part of it's aerodynamic properties.
Like the M cars or dislike them, I really don't give a toss, but to dismiss all but the E30 as good cars, and vouch for a lotus Carlton instead say lots about your taste in cars (or lack of!)
The M3 has for a long time been the bench mark in Saloon/Coupe performance motoring, maybe not to everyone's taste, but all superb cars, none the less.
So maybe try to fill your posts with occasionally interesting commentary rather than abuse and vulgarities and you may be taken a little more seriously.0 -

are you just guessing or making stuff up as you go along?
heres a 520d sport
heres an m5
how does the car below scream anything? quad exhaust aside its difficult to tell the two apart.
the lotus carlton is far louder, youd need to debadge, change the exhaust, de flare the arches, change the bonnet, change the front bumper to make it look like a normal carlton?
im flabbergasted at your post

If you're going to do the hooligan and don't want to get pulled then that's the kind of car you want.
That's a pretty good definition of a Q-car
