Is BMW X3 2011 a women's vehicle?

lak · 07-03-2011, 06:43 PM

I just bought a BMW X3 2011 two weeks ago and I really love it. But I am kinda surprised that lot of people think compact luxury crossovers like X3 or Q5 is more for women. I was just curious what you guys think?

Chuck Norris approved. Well discussed in this thread.

I never understood people saying a certain vehicle is a women's vehicle…a vehicle fits your needs and wants or it doesn't…period.

The early Martha Stewart visibility isn't going to help in this area either

There's nothing womanly at all about an suv that can do 0-60 in 5.5.

VW Beetle with the flower pot would be a women vehicle.

Actually, I bought the X3 for the trouble and strife, but after the last car (a Kluger / Highlander) we will finally have one I would be keen to drive again.

Thanks guys for getting back right away! I used to drive Camry earlier and X3 is a very nice upgrade for me. It really meets my needs and I just love the way it drives.

I saw more women driving GLK, Q5, XC60, XC90, X5, Cayenne, RX350, RDX, MDX than 2011 X3.....

This is all that really matters, you bought the car for yourself, who cares what other people think.

Ridiculous. It's not like it's a pink Cadillac. The driver defines this car. Drive it like a grocery getter and you'll get that image. Use the thing a bit and drive it like it's a BMW and you'll be fine. If you worry about it beyond a few posts on this blog, then we're talking something beyond the car. . .

Also bought the XDrive3.5 for my wife, but I have no problem driving it. I with some of the others here, who cares what someone else thinks. I do whats right for me not what someone else thinks.

What do I think? I think it must be awful to have to go through life worrying about what other people think.

A "lot of people" aren't very smart.*

*As of July 4, 2011, there are 155,843,873 people in the United States with an I.Q. score below 100. The ones that fall on the right half of the bell curve (which probably includes almost everyone on this forum) believe the X3 is a macho-mobile (whether or not they carry two X chromosomes).

This is a vehicle for those who want a unique sporty driving experience! Does not matter who is behind the wheel, we are all experiencing a fantastic riding experience.

Just enjoy!

Nahoa · 07-04-2011, 07:53 AM

Oh, and I forgot to add . . . my wife is the fastest, most precise, and most aggressive/confident street driver I've ever met. She blows the doors off the guys (well, everyone) in driver training pushing right to the limits but never crossing the boundary. I'm always just a bit behind and it drives me crazy. If whatever she drives is a "ladies car" I'd be happy to drive it myself.

How about a pink Q5.....

fedinand · 07-04-2011, 08:19 AM

Looks like the latest Mary Kay vehicle

Nahoa · 07-04-2011, 08:22 AM

Pink Q5? If driven with attitude!!

That's hideous . . . .

(apologies to any pink fans)
