Why do do many people on here qualify their purchase of an X3 by saying it\'s for their wife. It\'s usually not relevant to the topic being discussed and these people seem to know an awful lot about their spouse\'s car. Is it that the X3 is not considered manly enough. Am I too sensitive? Am I crazy? All three? Curious as to other\'s thoughts.

Not considered manly enough by whom?

Perhaps is because women generally haul the spawn around and need the space. SUVs, sorry, SAVs are usually driven by women.

As to your sanity...?

Just my thoughts.

How many wives do you have btw? You seem to have posted the same question for each of your wives.

Funny, I just bought one "for my wife" - picked it up yesterday as a Christmas gift. While I'm planning on driving it as much as I can, it really is the car she's driving everyday. While a very nicely equipped x35i, it doesn't have some of the performance options that some of the more erudite on the forum spend much time teaching us about.

As for the problems posting with the iPhone app, just use that for viewing - I can't post with it either.

Merry Christmas all!

I agree with you somewhat, seems some on here think the X3 is an exclusively "woman's car". I have had a lot of vehicles (as I am older) and don't in any way consider the X3 a "wifey's car" as some do. It's almost a bit sexist in the way some posters imply that they, being male, are so much the better driver than the "wifey", thus justify their purchase of the X3. The whole "women's/wifey's car" thing is stupid; and I could care less about car "gender". I have not lost my cojones coming from an M3 to a X3 35i..!

Although there is no way in hell I would drive the earlier gen VW Beetle with the flower vase on the dash..............
