The 2er is my DD; up until December my wife drove an E90 328i, but she didn't like it all that much so she repossessed her old X3 from our son's and gave him the E90. Both mother and son are very happy with the exchange.

My wife drives a Mini Cooper. She likes it because it's cute. I drive the M235i Cabrio. We also have a X5 35d, which I use in bad weather, when we're traveling with other people, and on long trips.

My wife drives a 2015 Outback 3.6R. Prior to my M235, I owned a 2012 WRX and the Outback felt like a luxury car in comparison with the much better build quality and materials compared to the WRX. Then I drank the BMW Koolaid and now the Outback kinda feels like the WRX in some aspects. With that said, we've owned a lot of Subarus, had stellar luck with them, and I can't think of a better wagon for the money. My wife absolutely loves it and I enjoy driving it as well. It's so useful and the perfect size.

That's cos M3/M4 owners are wankers and probably beat their wives.

What does my wife drive?

Answer: she drives me crazy always telling me to slow down. This despite the fact that I have repeatedly showed her that I am going the same speed she drives on the same roads - and it is just that it feels different in the 235 than in her massive Nissan Armada.
