plain and simple, Today my girlfriend told me she didn't like BMWs. I was speechless.
what would you say if your girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband said that to you?

My wife is scared to drive the Bimmer as she keeps messing up the rims. I tell her she can drive it. She just has to be careful.

Yeah I get that a lot (mainly because no eating, no drinking, no smoking, parking far in parking lots, not handing car to Valet, etc...)
For me, it's rather women hate MY BMW, rather BMWs in general.

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
I have a problem with any car company that TELLS me which tires are best for ME. Until the real tires come back, I will go to the competitors. I also have a problem with a company that claims transmissions don't need fluid replacement for the "lifetime" of the transmission, which they peg at 100,000 miles. Really? You mean to tell me that our fathers' Oldsmobiles were more durable than BMWs? Now, all I have to do is figure out which brand comes next.
As for your girlfriend, she's definitely a keeper for having the courage to tell it like it is.
