so i'm about to buy a new car. i was thinking of getting a used bmw becuase i love the way they look and it fits my style. i was also thinking of something more practical like a honda accord. i would spend about the same amount of money regardless. i can get dates with chicks no problem i just have never had my own car. i'm leaning towards the bimmer right now becuase i know it will be a lot more fun. girls isn't the number one deal-breaker but i want to know how it factors in.
is it going to make a huge difference in the chicks i bag if i get a bimmer?
i've never really driven a flashy car in the past so i don't know what to expect. some of you guys have probably had experience with this.
Take it from me, I used to have an M3, now I've since sold it and drive a regular economy car.
Yes, you will get attention rolling down the street with 20" rims and a really nice bimmer, but think about how much you have to sacrafice. I had to constantly park far out to keep my car from getting scratched, or not even drive it at all. MPG isn't great either. Not that I care much for spending the extra moola on gas, it's just the inconvenience of having to pump once a week that is annoying. Overall, I think having a nice car got too much to my ego. I made too much of a big deal out of it, and it ate me up.
Now I have a nice, new car. It grabs some attention here and there, but not like an M3. I think I'll get an M5 in a year or two when I'm done with school. I think when you're in school it's a pain in the ass to have a nice car since most other students drive and park like idiots.
Overall, unless you have the time to devote to it, it becomes a liability and a hassle. I'd personally rather have some peace of mind.
By the way, as a former bimmer owner, you'll get more attention from guys. Most girls don't know the difference between an M3 and a regular 3-series. I think if you want girls attention with your car, you should get a Mustang or a Porsche. I personally don't like either of those cars, but girls will like it. Even a Mercedes will get you more attention, even though Mercedes are sh*tty compared to BMW (although that's a whole different topic).

It got alot of looks but all the compliments on the car I received were from guys, including a cop that pulled me over!
If you have game, a nice car is definately a positive accessory, but I don't think the car will be the deciding factor.
Very well said. I had a similar experience.
