This is deeeeep into try-hard territory.
Fancy cars work because fancy cars are cool regardless of dating status.
But what kind of "loser" is so desperate as to pay $500 a month to meet people?
The badge is not a plus. The other stuff is.
- FormerBandmate 3y agoYeah, your car says something about you. Teslas are a goal for a techie, Mercedes/BMW are the goal for old money, big trucks are the goal for more working class guys etc
- HeartStrings 3y agoMerc/BMW isn’t for old money.
- red-iron-pine 3y agoyeah pretty much everyone I've seen in a 3 series is basically trying to hard; the painfully middle class Persian guy with overpriced sunglasses. Meanwhile the actually rich folks I know are driving F150 Raptors or Teslas.
- Sohcahtoa82 3y agoI've always said (with tongue planted firmly in cheek) that BMWs are for people that just want to look like they have money. People who actually want a nice car will buy a Lexus. At least Lexus considers long-term reliability to be a luxury feature, whereas BMW just makes sure the car will last for the 3 years the original owner will lease it.
- harambae 3y agoDepends which BMW engine you go with. I've got the N52 (inline 6) with 200k miles on it. If I'd gone with the twin-turbo, I'd probably have thrown it away twice by now.
