Otherwise, I don't think I've seen a female driving a 330i. Maybe once. Is it a coincidence?

I would hope that any man would not have pink frills anywhere is the car whatsoever. I have not seen any female 325/330i drivers here at all. I have seen female X3 drivers though. I wouldn't expect many 330i drivers since functionality outweighs price. Females naturally view cars in a different light than males. Males are the Tim the Toolman Taylor!

For the ladies that got a 330:
Do u get any crap u ownin one from ppl? Meanin most of my guys friends dont believe its really mine, or think its my parents car. When they see me get out of the car i get asked by strangers if its a 325. I wonder why they dont ask if its a 330? Is it cuz im a girl? ....just wonderin

Its true that the majority of cars sold are the 325i, but on this board it seems like there are way more 330i's.

I mean you get a little more money in your pocket and it is still a wonderful car.. I mean i couldn't ask for anything better becuase i'm so in love with my 325... My boyfriend kept asking me... are you sure you dont want a 330 and I just kept saying that I was happy with the 325 and he will still ask but my answer is still.. I love my 325!!!

Your bf has a hidden agenda, he wants you to buy the 330 so that when you don't feel like driving and insit he drives, he can enjoy it

If you ladies have a 330 and ppl give you hard time about it or think that it is not your car, just remove the 330 badge and that should make it even more interesting.

I think the 325 sells about twice as many as the 330

I wouldn't be surprised if the 325 outsells the 330 by an even larger margin. I think the E46 split was 85% 325 to 15% 330. Don't quote me. I don't know where to find that figure again.

I agreed, even my salesman said so. 325 go off the lot much faster than 330.

I have a 330 with sport package and manual tranny. Mostly I just get envy from my guy friends. Strangers at the pump usually just say "nice car" or "nice ride".

IMO- all drivers should learn stick. U never know what situation u may end up in/ what car u need to drive.

I know how to.. butttt I'm too lazyy!!

Coming from a E39 540, I really never considered a 325. Once you get use to the power it's hard to turn back.

I'll be getting the 335 next year when my lease is up.

thedean786 · 05-30-2006, 02:22 PM

The girls that I have met who do have a bmw of any kind tend to be bitches in nice shoes....maybe it's a Chicago thing....I don't know.

StewtheBassman · 05-30-2006, 02:24 PM

My wife LOVES her X5, does that count? And Bimmerista's wife LOVES her X3, does that count too?

Good thread Nikki.... Guess I must be an honorary female because most of the rationale that made me buy the 325i instead of the 330i is the same as most of the responses here.

We've seen the pics of you in drag, LedZep!!LOL

I don't think it has to do with you being a female. Most people don't know the difference between a 25 and 30 and 25's are so much more popular than the 30 many people don't know there's a 30.

In fact I pulled up to a hotel valet over the weekend and these 2 guys in an Expedition were checking my car out and didn't even know it was a BMW until one of them walked to the front and saw the Roundel.

Yeah that's about 75% of them at least.

The 325i does outsell the 330i by a larger margin in the US. For April '06, it was more than 3 times as many 325's as 330's. Search for posts by 'FDMeloan' to get the exact numbers that BMW publishes for US sales.

tl_boy · 05-30-2006, 04:14 PM

yup yup. im' very pleased with the 325i decision. I just wish a supercharger comes out, and soon.

I have a 330 (e46 though) but will be trading for a e92 335. I rarely see a female with a 330. I think most females don't care as much about performance and some of the technical aspects of a vehicle they drive and go by just looks alone. Oh yeah, and I get that too when someone asks you what you drive and I say a 3 series they respond with 'oh, a 325?'

Here's another question though... if a girl drives a car, like an M3, why do most guys automatically react like "Why does she need/want a car like that?" Like a female wouldn't know what to do with a car like that or how to appreciate it.
