Have to disagree, can only speak for LA, but generally people absolutely notice and know on some degree that the M 340i is a beast, there is no doubt. Very pointed difference when trading in my 328i E90 before. M Sport and other additions only further it. They are just different kind of cars and people tend to know that, at least in my experience.

Enough that someone might think I'm trying to go fast. I try not to do this around any car that looks like it may want to race though.
Tint I went with, 3M Colorstable 35% all around, at first I felt it was too light but it has grown on my and find it to be perfection over some time.
