Come to think of it, Ive never seen a woman driving a 6 series or a 330..325's all day, but never a 330. Seems like the woman "buy" Bimmers just to have one, and usually get the low end of the series'...

Wait a minute! Thats exactly what I do! And I dont wanna' hear any wise a$$ remarks either!!

Well, when we were shopping for a new SUV, we visited the Lexus store first because it looked like in our part of the world, and in my own observation, most Lexus RX330 drivers are female (Realtors, mostly LOL). But my wife didn't like it at all because in her own words, it looked like a raised/oversized Toyota van. So we dropped by the BMW store nearby and I figured she would pick the X3 but to my extreme delight, she liked the X5!

(BTW, update on my X5 - Now in Oxnard VPC as of yesterday! So, 1 - 2 more weeks to get to Hawaii or 3000 more years? )

X5 seems to be popular with soccer moms here in Alberta. So I've seen one guy driving at an X5, loaded 4.8is at my golf course. The rest are like Range Rovers drivers trophy wives and soccer moms


As far as X3 it's my 1st BMW and I picked it because it was smaller. Not a fan of huge SUVS and the X5 seemed to be a waste of space for a 90% of what I need to carry in my job and on weekends.

Haaa haaa.... you're kidding right? It must be a North American thing.

It's usually a wealthy, older businessman, who gets divorced after making his fortune and having children with his first wife and then marriages a gorgeous piece of eye candy who's sole purpose is to look good on his arm and go shopping (usually in some form of very expensive, German convertible). I know, I know.... I'm just jealous.... of the car

It also applies to male athletes and celebrities, but in those cases the trophy wife is usually the first wife (and the second, third, etc.)

Donald Trump is a good example of an American who has had a series of trophy wives since his first wife Ivana.

But in my opinion, the couple that are the true epitome of trophy wife and sugar daddy are right here in Canada; Michael Cowpland and his wife Marlen. He's the former owner and President of the Corel software company (now in the wireless technology business), married to his second wife (Brigitte Bardot lookalike) Marlen. They share a "little" 20,000 sq. ft. starter home in Ottawa. She's notorious for once wearing a dress worth over $1 million to a gala, as well as backless dresses that plunge so far down she exposes what is known on this side of the pond as "plumber's butt". She carries around a little miniature dog (who's fur she dyed pink) in a designer carry bag.

SUGAR DADDY MICHAEL



TROPHY WIFE MARLEN

Another thing I noticed...the 04 and later X5 4.4s get better gas mileage than X3 3.0. This part of this message may offend some and it is not intended. I will end up buying my wife and X3 because she really likes the car. It is fun to drive and after all...it is BMW...but....It has been seriously Bangelized. What they should have done is made the X3 look like a smaller X5...like the Aviator and Navigator...but..In my opinion....and take it for what it is worth.(not much)..the X5 is a much more masculine looking vehicle. And as far as women go...I see plenty of them driving both...but where I live, I also see them driving high dollar 4x4 pick up trucks.. It is all a matter of taste...



Now...before I get flamed...I do like the X3, but it is like comparing a 330 to a 545i.
