Women with M3's?

Hey all, newbie to the forum here. At the end of the month, I'm trading in my Infiniti G35 for an '08 M3 coupe, 6MT, color undecided.

I was lamenting with my friends that the color selection really wasn't very feminine & they said "girls don't drive M3's"?

How 'bout it...is the M3 strictly a guys car?

The '09 E93 M3 I just bought (finally on the boat), is for my wife. She loves the Silverstone II.

i've seen lots of ladies drive M3's (E46's) so far havent seen/heard of one driving E92.

to answer ur question the M3 is a car for enthusiasts regardless of their gender.

In fact my own neighbor with "M3 MOM" plates really enjoys her 6MT E46 M3 to the fullest.

edit: i remember there's a member here that was shopping for E93 M3 for his wife after she saw one in Vegas and fell in love

I'm yet to see a woman driving an M3 in LA. LOTS of girls in 335 coupes though.

I'd say a chick in an M3 is a pretty damn hot thought. Get a Ducati too.

Hey there,

Wow! A lady that appreciates bad ass cars? That's cool and hot too

For real though, I think for the most part guys will want the M car just because it's awesome and most, hopefully appreciate it's potential and power. So normally I don't see girls driving around in cars like this and actually taking care of them.

But if you like hot rides then I don't see why not. Now I think a convertable is for sissy's but fine for girls. IMO, but that's me. I think Black, Red, white or silverstone would be fine colors.

Enjoy and let us now how you come along with it!

cheers

I've known women to drive ///M3's. My question to you is....

...Why do you need a feminine color? The fact that you're even considering an ///M3 differentiates you from a typical woman (...assuming you're considering this car for its performance characteristics). Kudos to you daphne!

Well, the majority of M3 drivers are male. I forget the breakdown, but it was in Autoweek long ago and was over 90% if I recall. That was for the E46 but I would not expect things to have changed a whole lot for the E92.

I assume you are female then? So out of curiousity, which colors are you leaning toward?

Also if you really, really want a different color it is now possible (though still difficult) to order a custom color on an '09 M3.

Congrats on your purchase, you will love it.

My g/f is a big fan of the M3, needless to say when I get my 09', i may consider letting her drive it. haha

That's right. Girls don't drive M3's OR 911's. Not saying you can't, but you're not supposed to.

My wife been driving the M around mainly for the last 20 days. I'm going to surgicaly remove her hands from the wheel in about a week. That being said she loves the car and gets compliments on it all the time.

My response, "That really hot M3."
