Wow. I actually thought women would love the SSII because of the light blue hue.

I bought my 6-MT without informing my fiance despite the fact that she cannot drive stick. Well, after 30 minutes in a parking lot she can drive it. She never stalled it and actually looked pretty hot driving it. The clutch for a 414 HP car is amazing light! Disregard the wife, do what you want.

Perfect. Now she won't find the evidence your girlfriend leaves in the car.

Mission accomplished.

Wonder if she'll like a silver Murceilago better

Interesting since the M3 looks very similar to the 335i...Red leather maybe?

I always choose a neutral interior color for resale value (I learned if from her watching HGTV). Give her time and she will, painfully, accept your choice. If not, get a new car or get a new .....

I am just a messenger so please don't shoot the messenger.

Never do ANYTHING For resale value. GET WHAT YOU WANT, DONT BUY TH CAR FOR THE NEXT GUY
