What does the spouse of an M3/M4 owner drive?

mptpa · 09-29-2015, 08:31 PM

2015 3GT. She had X3 but loves this one. She is not a cat person though.

Cats, who could live those!

Edit: I can't believe I took the time to make fun of a typo and then made one to the post.

In my case, my wife drives an MB ML350. She is not a car person, and doesn't really understand the whole car enthusiast thing. I tried to get her to look into the new X5, but she hates BMW's (I think it has something to do with my infatuation with my car...

) She has never driven my M4 (or my previous M3) and thankfully, has zero interest in trying.

Mainly, I'm curious if your spouse's car is "on par" with yours...

Let's see them!

Good question! Even though I am single and will most likely never get married again I'd like to imagine my future girlfriend in a 2015 BMW X5. I think it's a sexy car for a classy, sexy b***h.

Poor me, I am still single ... but young.

I was going to say I know why you're single, but it seemed too insulting. Dude, she'd only be after your garage space, stay away from the big car girls.

(my hatred for the glorified minivans has boiled to a point of venomous)

Thank you people, once again I'm here all night!

Got to agree with Lups here, when did you ever see a classy lady in an X5?

My wife drives a Cayenne since I buy the cars and we need a reliable family hauler that can also serve as our adventure car for accessing ski touring areas and hikes and she love it but if it was up to her she'll be driving a beauty from the 60s since like me she thinks that's when cars were truly classy and beautiful and unlike me she is willing to deal with the drawbacks in handling and performance.

I agree with your wife AND I'm happy to report there is a cure for this.

I swear to coffee, on every cars and coffee I go to great lengths to avoid jaguars. The elegance and the design has me in knots and I know for sure they all (yes. All) are the love of my life. Thanks to my dad, who kept buying Citroens I've collected a vast knowledge database of errors and minor break down episodes that can't be fixed or solved in any way, so I know I would go nuts in a week with a jag.
Buy the wife a Citroen C4 Picasso. She will never dream of a car again and be serious about it after a month of owning one of those. She will hate you, but that's normal in marriages.

peter_s · 09-30-2015, 07:40 AM

My wife doesn't like to drive. I need to get her into the car more.

She mostly borrows the M4 because it's easy to drive. My DD is a STi and it's a manual but she prefers the BMW.

We need to get her a car soon, and I'm thinking of getting a Legacy or something similar.

ZAKSM3 · 10-01-2015, 02:43 AM

Here is my wife's X5 along side my M3.

997usa · 10-03-2015, 09:01 AM

My wife currently drives a VW GTI MK7 - love that car - but she had an F10 M5 prior to the MK7 - the MK7 is used just for airport commute.

BMW i3 - She loves it! It is a very retro car. Interior is well designed. Feels like you are in a futuristic car. Quiet and fast. Handles like a corolla though

BMW E92 - Was my car but she took "ownage" of it when I got my M4. She wouldn't trade it in for the M4 so I had to come more cash out of pocket for the M4.

Hey how you like the i3? My wife loves it.... I think it is a very cool car. The interior is one of the best designs. She got the eucalyptus wooden dashboard/panels and the cloth/leather seats. Wish it'll go more than 75 miles though.

jasnh · 10-03-2015, 11:11 AM

My GF drives......my M3...and it seems she drives it more than me

That's it! She's making the next car payment!

We like it a lot. Its like driving the future. The interior is a very modern design. I got it with the REX so she would never get range anxiety. I think you have the same interior as we do.

I like the way it drives a lot. Its very zippy and all the instant torque off the line makes it feel more like an M than I would have imagined. She loves everything about it except people always stop to ask her about it. She raced a GTR a couple weeks ago off the line and it was pretty funny to see.

After the lease is over I would buy it or trade it in for another. Its pretty compelling. The best part is it costs little to nothing to operate. That leaves more money for my toys hahaha.

Yukon XL SLT and a 428i Cab

Tried an X5 Diesel, but it blew a piston through the bottom of the motor at 4K

Tried a Q7 TDI, but it was seriously old tech and not really big enough for the family

Prior to the X5 and Q7 we had an Escalade and few Denali's. Tough vehicles to beat when you have 5 kids.
