I usually say "Panderrari" since it's a nickname for the best and most beloved car I have ever owned (as seen on the picture).
I tend to keep the 335i or F15 M50d in the dark since the BMW stigma is really strong and real, non-biased conversation with real car people is very, very rare these days. Also, de-bagding, for the same reasons, is a must for me. Hide, stay in the dark. Pretty sad, to be honest.
And the "Panderrari" answer works on many levels.
Normal people think you're a weirdo. Fair enough.
Car people will laugh and will agree.
Real car nuts will fully agree and will start to investigate - and will eventually reveal the BMWs.
(It's a Fiat Panda 4x4, a pretty rare thing, if you're curious)
