Who takes the wife when buying a car ?
I want to get my wife a new 4 series and for the first time since 1996 she said I had better come and choose the colour ,She never has any interest and said lets go together.It is going to be either Estoril or Mineral ,I am being safe and suggested Mineral but she thinks it would be nice to go with Estoril

Only in 2004 when she bought a new 206cc. Very excited about it all but now has remarkably little interest. She's never involved in any car changes now except perhaps, once everything has been lined up, asking "are we sure a 2 seater is do-able" or "your X3 is costing a fortune, this brand new QQ will save heaps".
She's really not interested but suppose a final quick confirmation I'm not being a tool is welcomed When is the 4 series available for configuration & order? I'm really interested in a spicy one. |

My wife is never involved in any car purchase I make. Be it a car for me or her. Wild horses couldn't drag her into a showroom and she shows a complete lack of interest to the point of actively avoiding or ignoring the subject right up until delivery when she sees which colour I picked. Then I get it in the neck for the next three years.

I always take my wife so when she throws it in my face I can say "well you were there and gave the final sign off"

Mine talked me out of getting a 320d and into getting a 335 petrol!

I am slightly biased, but really like the Mineral Grey on the 4 series :
http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=887269 Pretty sure I will get one of these. D.

My miswah's is not into cars like a girl-racer but does like cars and chose her current one herself (without any outside influence) I wanted her to get a 1 series and she fell in love with the new 208GTi.
She loves giving the M3 the beans too. When I had two M3's at once we went for a spin with both which was cool. Last edited by dxb335d; 09-10-2013 at 12:20 PM.. |

My wife is very much into cars, so always comes with me and I go with her when she is test driving and buying her own. She has attended all the Northern Meets as well.
