1. Being an arrogant ass - self explanatory.
2. Put mud flaps on both front and rear.

Why do you think so? A lot of people on these forums will not let their wives drive their car it seems. Personally I don't have a problem with it, but I can see it being an issue if you don't trust your wife's driving.

Most men I know who trust their wives driving don't see the error in their wives driving. Being aggressive doesn't count.

I gotta say, I don't really understand the response. All I know is my wife is a great driver - she once had the M3 lose a tire (literally - the thing completely self destructed) and was able to safely pilot the car to the nearest exit. She was quite frazzled though, scared the hell out of her!

I think the OP either doesn't have kids, or he does but his wife won't let him take them in his M3.

Er, hell, heh heh, I dunno. Now I'm not sure. Either way -

It's alright.. I was just poking fun. It's just I have meant very few men and zero women that I would consider great drivers. It might be different from where your from.

I gotcha. I guess figure if the wife can handle a 335i with a manual transmission, she can handle an M3. Neither one of us has any track experience, so probably neither one of us is a great driver in that sense of the word. But we both have pretty good driving records with hers being somewhat better than mine.

Don't tell people not to get the sunroof option.
Don't cut your springs!
Don't put any other badge beside M3 badge.
Don't place aftermarket tuners logos or names on the car.
Don't drill holes into your exhaust.
Don't waste your money on 4 pistons calipers
Don't add "Turbo inside" logo. That shiat is lame.

2nd. My gf attends track events, though not as frequently as I do... only because she doesn't like to pay for the wear & tear of tires/brakes that she inflicts on my cars, and she certainly refuses to drive her hyundai because she claims "it's not capable of turning"
