Smart wife you got there.... My wife didn't like the E90 328i or 335i. Her biggest issues were throttle tip-in, run-flats, interior design, and that damn turn signal activator. So she bought a last generation CPO E46 330ci. It's probably a good thing, since she's put on 8K miles in 2 months. She'll probably get max use out of her extended and CPO warranties.

I made careful mental notes of her comments, let her forget all about it, and then ordered the car she told me she preferred.

While driving around LA I pointed-out different brands/models and solicited her opinion. She prefers BMW. That made it easy in my mind.

In the end I am not shooting blindly and hoping she likes it. It was an educated decision.
Ya that makes more sense, congrats to you.
I took my wife out to chose what car she wanted , basically between x5 and the mdx. she chose the x5 and she like the 4.8. , she picke dthe colors and that was it. I ordered it and added all the goodies, which she wuold not have ordered. but loves them. for instance the HUD.

I should have married you before she did. I think I met you before you met her. Are civil unions legal in CA?

Excellent choice and I know P is going to love it. I don't know if she'll miss the utility of the X3 but that 335i will make up for it.

My wife and I have been talking about what to get when my E90 lease is up. We're talking Euro delivery of something with a roundel on it but that won't be until next year at the earliest.

Let me know if you're interested...my dad is selling his 03 SL500 with only about 17k miles on it. Very clean and nice.

PNG -

Definitely do ED! P and I will be happy to help you guys get it planned if you want.

Delivery day is tomorrow...she knows she is getting a car but doesn't know what. I have been having so much fun messing with her head!!!

As anticipated, she was thrilled! I had the dealership park a black x3 in front of the 335i so she thought that was what she was getting. Once she learned that she was getting the 335i, she was very excited! Here she is with her CA, the CA's assistant (who races a Miata) and her new ride!

I am now a 2 e9x family...time to change the screen name...
