How to convince wife to let me buy a bmw

zeniicap · Yesterday, 11:52 PM

Hey guys, so obviously by the title i want to buy a secondhand m340i, but my wife HATES bmw because of how ‘unreliable they are’ and how mechanic shops would be ripping me off when there’s problems s. She also doesn’t understand that half of my buddies are mechanics and we’d be doing most of the work on it ourselves. I want to buy this car because of how big the community is and how easy it is to mod them, and it’s a beautiful car. Any tips on what i should say to her to let me buy the damn car? and any tips i should know when looking for a used one would be helpful aswell. Thanks

Show her recent consumer reports rankings. BMW is tops. Then tell her that the engine in the m340i is so reliable that toyota is using it in one of their cars. If she still doesn't agree, then find a new wife.

Re: Your first question:
No need to say anything. Just Buy it.

Then immediately drive straight home, pick up your wife, and take her out on that romantic weekend getaway she's always wanted.

This is a prime example of a situation where it's "better to ask for forgiveness, rather than permission".

Re: Your second question:
Get a pre-purchase inspection done from a qualified Indy that knows BMWs.

Buy a CPO.

Buy the car without her knowing, get everything checked out by you and your mechanic friends, surprise her by wrap or cover and she's going to ask "what the..."....say you bought it for her and let her drive it for a while

Meanwhile you can be a fake second driver knowingly you want the car yourself too.
