What does the spouse of a 2 series owner drive?

JohnnyCanuck · 06-16-2016, 11:19 AM

2010 A3. I suspect her enthusiastic endorsement for me buying a 2016 M235i is that my car was older than hers and therefore she couldn't get me on board with new wheels for her until I had my new toy.

I suspect she'll want a new Q3 in the very near future.

She drives an X3.

Spouse drives a 2016 RR Evoque

My lovely drives a new X3...which she loves dearly. And details her own car.

2013 Honda Accord V6 EX. Up until now we've only purchased Honda/Acura products. Unlike the BMW, the Accord came standard with leather seats, backup camera, side camera for changing lanes, bluetooth connectivity, power and heated seats, proximity warning, and sunroof at a sticker of 32k. Not to mention the 270hp NA V6 (awesome engine). I spent a couple of weeks of driving the M235 in Europe and I love the power and the manual transmission, but the Accord isn't a bad ride either. If it was available with a manual transmission it would be a great car. I don't understand why BMW nickels and dimes their customers for features that should be standard on a 44k car (even the color is the same except BMW charges an extra $500).

Wife has been in Qatar since October so I've been driving the

out of her X5, keeping the miles down on the M235i, I'll take the 235i out when I need to put a smile on my face. Both vehicles are Mineral White.

I have a 16 228ix conv. My wife has an Acura MDX. A 14. In 4 years she probably drove my Volvo C70 twice.

Wow, nice ride.

RidingAgin · 06-19-2016, 12:32 AM

My wife drives a 2016 X3 28d xdrive. She really needs the space for her art work. For the really big items and when the weather turns very bad, I have an old Ford F-150 4x4, with 5.4L V8.

siwo · 06-19-2016, 02:56 AM

My wife drives a non-modded (except for some minor cosmetics) Mini Cooper Countryman...

Bonus: My daughter drives a non-modded Mini Cooper S Convertible.

Bonus 2: A pic of what appears as though my daughter is drifting -but isn't.

Yes, true, thanks....that's correct.....but the very next day, here we go again! Two against one nose!

Yugo.

2014 X1 sDrive28i MSport

She loves it so much that we're going to buy out our lease as long as the Takata airbag stuff gets resolved. The steering feel is actually better than my M235i. She hates the new F48.

RacerDad · 06-19-2016, 02:20 PM

2014 RX450h AWD. She has always wanted an RX since they launched in 1998. She does not know how to drive a M/T and has no desire to learn so she will not be driving the 2. We share the 2008 Sequoia, but I will be happy when it is no longer my DD and only used for track days.

And yet you and almost everyone on this board bought the Bimmer. I guess they charge extra because they can.

Wife drives a 16 VW Tiguan R-Line. I love it and have claimed it as mine once she's done with it.
