What should I name my car?

CamasM3e93 · 05-27-2022, 04:07 PM

My wife has a blue MB SUV and named it Otto, so another vote for that one. I have a blue e90 M3 and named him Rocky. It fits well with the model and how its high strung.

I'd feel less douchey pushing the button to roll down the window instead of talking to my car.

I don't have a left hand, so asking the car to do it is much easier.

Is this an LCI thing? How do you “name” your car for the voice functionality?

I assume "Kitt close the door" doesn't work very well either 🤔

My Zanzibar 2 Individual colored M440 is called Lady Z. And yes it’s ok to name your car, you gave your dingling a name when you were a kid!!

I decided against Scarlett 2.0, or Scarlett II, Etc. She will be Scarlett because she's Red and because I like Scarlett johansson -- 62 year old boys will be boys
