Female Factor

This line of discussion reminds me of that episode of "Two & a Half Men" where Allen bought the Boxter.

Funny thing, I have a 98 Mitsu Eclipse GSX and on the forums there were NO girls. This thread has 2 girls responding already.

It may look cute, but damn this car performs. I've been working on cars for a long time so nothing really gets me excited these days, but this car's got me excited. So excited, I stayed at work till 3 in the morning prototyping our new exhaust for the 135 (normally I want to get the hell out and go home).

Now, the point of my post.... my boyfriend thinks that the majority of people buying this car will be female. It makes some sense, "cute, little beemer!" Needless to say, I was a little offended by his comment, but I can see the truth in it. Now, I am pretty sure that if you are a member of this forum, you totally disagree with this. But think about it, most women don't care about their car so much that they join a discussion group about it, right? Just saying that the majority of the public may see this car as "cute."

Who cares? Just smoke 'em.

most the people that are going to buy the 1 series will buy the 128 and never grace this forum. Thats where most the females will be. I'm sure that when I get back to the states I will probebly see more blones in 1 series BMW's than dudes for sure. for that price a guy is more likly to go for a z or somthing a little more flashy

That's pretty funny. Too bad they didn't include the model.
