talk about girls little bit

[barische]

i just realized that all we talk about is cars cars and more cars, and more stuff about ti. i know that this website is built to be talked about ti's but lets talk about the ladies little bit, any styles on pickin up girls, i just wanted the change the threats a tad bit.

[schussey]

unlike most other dudes, it's not really my main priority to pick up chicks. If they come, thats cool. But I'm not going to act like some major cocky toolbag though

but we all know the ladies like the BMWs................... :tetter:

well......its true. :twisted:

[GDB]

but we all know the ladies like the BMWs................... :tetter:

If you could inform all the ladies around here about that it would be really great :D

[TiPerformance]

The reason why I don't talk about girls on here is because I have a GF, and have no need to talk about other girls. I see this as a car forum, not a place to swap female stories and complain.

[swits]

but we all know the ladies like the BMWs...................

Yes, and then there are the few of us who like to get our own BMW's, pimp them out, and race the boys ;)

[2ndBimmer]

I dont think Ive ever picked up a lady specifically because a drove a BMW.

[bimmerboi318]

Even if i found a girl who liked me for my car, what would happen when a guy with a NICER car came around? :ashamed:

i have a girlfriend...been together a little more than a year....thats about all really

[durnadupa]

ive got one as well, haha she drives a infiniti g35 (hot car)... rapes my ass everytime i try to race her. a 95 ti just doesnt do much damage in that race...

[J!m]

I like Swits.

She has good taste in cars, is witty, intellegent (has a business I think) so, that means she's hard working...

Looks quite beautiful in her photo too.

The catch is she's not my girlfriend. This is a problem.

Oh, yeah. And my ti got rear-ended (twice) Thursday evening, and is sitting quite dejected looking in the parking lot here at work. So, this is not turning out to be a good week, it seems.

That sucks dude. How bad is the damage? I'm guessing it's not too bad, if you're still driving it. Is insurance taking care of it?

ROFL!

[aceyx]

i should have kept the girl that asked "so how fast does this thing go?" and was ecstatic after i took her through the twisties, getting the tires to sing. at the same time, don't try to impress a chick with your driving sKilLz. trust me, i've been pulled over and fined for it. if she asks, or responds well to being thrown around in her seat, then maybe give her a show.

i try to avoid telling people i own a bmw. i'll say i have a german RWD hatchback, and if pressed i'll tell them the make, but it usually doesn't get to that point. i'm wary because the chicks that are concerned about that tend to end up getting the boot anyway (sex and the city, drama queen, blingcentric future pornstars of america type)


if you want to impress a girl with your car, make sure it's clean (especially the glass) and open the door for her. don't push the chivalry, but it's a nice gesture that often goes forgotten. don't talk about all the mods; she probably doesn't care, or realizes that it will take away from time spent with her. unless of course, she's into cars and understands the differences between forced induction.

jack johnson or ben harper in the changer also works nicely, at least for the ones i'm interested in.


also, i've never met any girl that's responded well to "ladies."

[swits]

J!m, you are too sweet! *blushes* I can't even come up with a good witty reply!

I'm sorry about your car! :ashamed: I hope it gets taken care of very smoothly and quickly!

I agree completely. I'm not ashamed of my car or anything, but every time someone asks what car I drive I am reluctant to respond becuase I feel like a little prick.

[robcarync]

at my school...driving a bmw is no big deal cause well...my school has the 2nd most expensive parking lot in the USA according to Jay Leno and the Tonight Show. there are kids driving m3's, z3's, porsche's, lexus, and the such.

a 10 year old TI isnt that big of a deal compared to a 2004 performance car that cost $25k or so compared to my $8.8k car

that is definently no good dude...i know how you feel




i have a crush on swits too...

[bimmerboi318]

Aceyx: you couldnt be more right, Jack Johnson does WONDERS.

I don't think this is really for picking up girls...but I like to keep my car super clean, and then tell them I'm sorry the car is so dirty :rolleyes:. And then they think I'm a super clean guy. WOW how deceptive I am. jk

Swits is cool, maybe not my type, but cool nonetheless, and yes cute :)

J!M I am sorry to hear about your car...it is repairable I hope?

[2ndBimmer]

...Seconding the 'Swits is hot' motion.

[Freedy]

if you are just looking for someone who puts up with you, you should be able to find someone... what is it about you that most of them seem to/tell you they dislike.

[TiPerformance]

I couldn't tell ya if Swits was hot from just one tiny pic, I think we would need more to confirm that rumor.

[schussey]

I agree completely. I'm not ashamed of my car or anything, but every time someone asks what car I drive I am reluctant to respond becuase I feel like a little prick.

yea when people ask me, i kinda mutter BMW under my breathe, just because they respond in a sarcastic tone.


and I feel a "Post a Picture of Yourself" thread coming on....

[RAiMA]

i try to avoid telling people i own a bmw.

Same, the woman I'm head over heels about doesn't know I own one.

My suggestion is to make a good impression by telling or showing them how special they are. I started off by sending her "the best" flowers from a secret admirer. I didn't let her know until a few days later that I sent the flowers. She was totally touched by the gesture and said no ones ever done anything like that.

I found out afterwards she had a bf. Shame about that.

She's the only girl I've sent flowers out of the blue from a secret admirer. I wouldn't do it again, unless I truely mean it.

Anyways, she thinks I'm the sweetest and is always delighted to see me :) Can you really blame her? :p

Most women don't care about what a guy drives as long as it's what he likes, it's not too trashed, and they don't think they're the sh!t JUST because they have a nice car.

[sydeshow]

...open the door for her. don't push the chivalry, but it's a nice gesture that often goes forgotten.
chivalry is nay just an action. nor is it simply a nice gesture. what chivalry is though, good sir, is a way of life.

chivalry is nay dead. tis merely forgotten.

[sydeshow]

I didn't let her know until a few days later that I sent the flowers. She was totally touched by the gesture and said no ones ever done anything like that.
i sent someone some flowers once without letting her know it was me. i was head-over-heals for her. heck...if i knew i had the chance, i'd probably go after her right now.

but yeah. still never told her it was me.

never had the desire to really i guess. just put on the card that i wanted to make her smile as much as she made me smile.

[sydeshow]

I couldn't tell ya if Swits was hot from just one tiny pic, I think we would need more to confirm that rumor.
no. i think the fact that Swits is a one-of-a-kind, beautiful, respectful, ti-loving lady has already been confirmed.

just kinda stinks that there's none of those down here. :ashamed:

alas, my princess shall come. and i, on my galliant steed (hopefully a ti), will sweep her off her feet.

haha. yes. i realize how dumb i sound. that's what you get when you get to campus an hour before your first class starts and you have nothing better to do than to get online and start postin!

[sydeshow]

i hope i don't sound like i'm "checking out" some of you ti chicks. i just came accross a post by BMWbeauty416. and it looks like there's at least two beautiful ladies around here.

and the only reason i'm not saying three is because i've never looked for a pic of bmw318tiChic. so i hope i'm not offending anyone.

but personality always scores higher for me when becoming interest in a lady.

(note: i keep saying "lady" or "ladies." but not as in "the ladies" in the way that aceyx pointed out. i am referring to a lady such as the ones they had back in the days of knighthood. because i think just calling these three ladies "women" or "girls" just don't fit what they truly are. for those that i call "a lady," you have all of my respect. so here's to the ladies. and here's to the chivalry that we mentioned in earlier posts.)

(further note: i'm shutting up now. i promise. i have to go to class anyway.)

[L84THSKY]

I tried to get my GF to buy a VW. She bought a Honda Civic last year. Atleast I did manage to convince her to get a coupe instead of a sedan. My brother has had every expensive car there is. His latest toy is a Lambourghini Mircielago. I took my GF out for a drive in his 2004 Porche Carerra 4S, and that was her first taste of a European sports car. Since I have now owned my 318ti, she seems to like it alot. Much more than my previous car (16V VW Scirocco). The point is, woman do want to be seen in nice cars.

I'm still amazed she ever got on my motorcycle, she was scared of bikes.
Here is a great pic of her on my Triumph.

When I go back to my brother's house next weekend to finish the M3 shifter, I will take pics of the Lambo. The car is amazing to see, and frightening to be in. We took it for a ride a month ago, and it will scare you how fast it is.




but we all know the ladies like the BMWs................... :tetter:

well......its true. :twisted:

First, since the dude who originally started this thread is obviously young, I'd recommend that he go find himself a 30-something (maybe even 40-something) woman to show him the proverbial ropes. :google:

Secondly...yeah, I just gotta say it, even if for no other reason than to restate the ovbious...Swits is a cutie.

i told you. that's what you get when you show up to campus an hour too early and have nothing to do.

but it was only 4? it seemed like more than that. ha.

but...like i always say...sometimes talking to yourself is the most intelligent conversation you can have.

i thought it was all dudes on this board, nice to see some chicks posting.

with pictures posted in this thread, refer to the new Post a Picture of Yourself thread!

Nice gesture *kudos*

Just keep in mind from a womans perspective (not that I am one, just have a lot of female friends :p), not telling a woman can eventually drive her crazy, and even have the opposite effect if they can't figure it out.

Sounds crazy, but I found it quite insightful from one of my friends.

[sydeshow]

I haven't posted any pics of myself yet, but since the subject was brought up, here you go:
i wasn't saying that you needed to put your pic up. i was just stating the fact that i didn't know what you looked like ;)

lol dude, yeah i would like have a 30 year old playboy blondie wiht huge knockers and nice back, no offence to the ladies but that my taste. these days all i do with my friends is that go to mall and get girls numbers for fun. then we take em out for a ride to see if we gonna get any action.
im 18 years old, i dont look positive at getting 30 year old ladie for me thats sut too old for me personally.

yea, i also have a fascination with older chicks.

would i be able to become a citizen? i'm not YET a ti owner. hoping to change that in the relatively near future.

[J!m]

J!m, you are too sweet! *blushes* I can't even come up with a good witty reply!

I'm sorry about your car! :ashamed: I hope it gets taken care of very smoothly and quickly!

Well, thanks for the kind words. You ARE a beautiful person, particularly your eyes. I noticed those first...

Unfortunately, the car will not be repaired swiftly. Since I was not at fault, if I involve my insurance company (who will repair the car quickly) I will pay the deductable, and HOPE my insurance company gets the money from the person(s) at fault insurance company/companies. OR I wait, and have it appraised by the offending person(s) insurance company/companies, and they take on the bill for repairs, and I pay no deductable. I was not at fault, so I do not want to pay anything out of pocket. Not that I'm cheap, just proving a point.

So, long story short (too late) it will not be repaired quickly...

I plan to do my own appraisal as well, and determine a cost for parts and labor, and compare this to the insurance company's quote. This way, I'll know if they are quoting factory parts or not. However, it's pretty much guaranteed, as there are no real imitation parts for the rear bumper cover of a ti w/sport package. Sheetmetal, yes. But not the unique parts such as hatch and other 'ti only' parts. Front clip is available 'off brand'.

If I play my cards right, I'm hoping to get my mirrors and side skirts painted and installed, as well as that factory M3GT Sedan rear wing I'm dying to install... I'll loose my 'sleeper' status with this installed, but who cares at this point. At least it goes, if I catch any $h!t from the local ricers... I need a custom exhaust too. Perhaps I can get something done while the car is off the road.

By the way, how's the weather out in Seattle these days? Is it cold, like Maine, or more temperate? It's been frosting in the mornings here (like mid-late September in CT), but by now you have to watch for snow up there... Just curious.

[sydeshow]

You ARE a beautiful person, particularly your eyes.
ditto on that. very, VERY beautiful eyes.

and lucky you. getting all the cool weather. down here, i'm still wearing t-shirts and flip-flops...sometimes no shoes. and even still, everyone down here is complaining about how "cold" it is. whimps. it needs to stay cool/cold.

good luck with the insurance people. i have a feeling that you'll need it.

It's pretty temperate. It's getting pretty cold though..about 50 during the day, 40 at night. It's starting to look the same all day long, just different shades of gray and the occasional awesome sunset on nicer days. Lots of fog and clouds...not as much rain as you might think, but some.

I live for summer, but once all the leaves fall off the trees, my apartment has a much greater view. =) I'm also really looking forward to taking my car up to go boarding soon!!

Sounds like the weather out here in MD right now. 30s in the morn, 50º by 1pm. We do, however still get alot of sunlight (I was nearly blind driving to work this morning). 8-)

Strangely enough we got hit with one hell of a rainstorm on friday, in which i was still able to make it from Silver Spring to Annapolis in 40 minutes in clear traffic. :chainsaw:

[aceyx]

first, this thread is hilarious. sydeshow, i hope you get that ti soon and keep posting on these boards because you had me rolling. seriously, get to class early more often.


recap from memory:

chicks don't get flowers enough, IMO. i was actually surprised when i sent flowers to a girl when i was a junior in undergrad, and they were the first ones she'd received. don't go overboard with this (it'll get old for her) and make sure you actually know her, stalker.

chivalry isn't dead, but nice guys don't get laid. probably because they're boring. don't be overly ambitious to impress a girl. if you get along, you get along. if you don't, consider it a learning experience on dating, and who you are (which go semi hand-in-hand, no pun intended). don't be all up in her face either, just do what you do and if you happen to hang out that's good. try and have fun; its contagious.


switz; i like your name. how old are you? (before i tell you that you're cute, to save myself from being a sketchy old man at 24 years).

j!m; who's your carrier? call them up, and talk to the operator by name, and ask them to cut you a check for the estimate and tell them to deal with the other insurance company. that's what you're paying them to do, that's their job. never get mad, people are more willing to help you out if they perceive you as a friend (e.g. you're friendly). good luck, let us know how it goes.

2ndspring; what do you do out in annapolis? i was wakeboarding on the south and patuxent rivers for most of the summer.

l84thsky; man, you know why chicks like bikes ;} but seriously, i agree (though i'm a sportbike type myself), sometimes it takes some nudging to get 'em on in the first place.

[2ndBimmer]

I work over in Calverton, had a DR's apt in Annapolis. I live in Bowie.

I got back from a trip to Killington yesterday. I drove 6 hours to Killingtonon saturday night just to board on sunday and drive home sunday night. It was awesome to ride so early in the season. I got to try my new board out and it was nice to be outside on the snow. Where do you usually ride?

Since Im late to this topic Im gonna chime in now. Ive been chilling with this girl for a while and she puts notes on my car some times. The most memorable one she left me was I like seeing your car but I like seeing you even more. I thought that was cute.

[swits]

Where do you usually ride?

Whistker is my #1 if I can create the time off to go there. Otherwise I go to Stevens and Mt. Baker here in WA.

and i hope you're not calling me a stalker. i knew the chick. we were good friends. haha. and i only sent them once. so...yep. no stalking here.

yeah. i know. the driving her crazy part was one of the main reasons i never said anything.

plus, i'm sure she might have suspected me at one point in time. unless she was just completely uninsightful...in which case i wouldn't really want to date her at all. ya know?

[Guy Massey]

I have a 1998 318ti and an ageing 525i. Both cracking cars but quite beyond my GF who constantly asks why we can't have a Merc. As if!

Eventually she said she wanted her own car so I suggested a Peugeot 205 or Renault Clio. So what do we get? A 1966 Morris Traveller; the one with the wooden bits at the rear.

An easy car to work on I grant you but..... It needs to be easy to work on; it requires constant attention.

I despair.

[L84THSKY]

I know how you feel. Back in 1989, I owned a Triumph TR7 convertible. That car needed to tow a spare car behind it just incase I needed a part.

My love of Triumphs remained, and is now embodied in my 1979 T140E Bonneville (Motorcycle).



I have a 1998 318ti and an ageing 525i. Both cracking cars but quite beyond my GF who constantly asks why we can't have a Merc. As if!

Eventually she said she wanted her own car so I suggested a Peugeot 205 or Renault Clio. So what do we get? A 1966 Morris Traveller; the one with the wooden bits at the rear.

An easy car to work on I grant you but..... It needs to be easy to work on; it requires constant attention.

I despair.

Whistker is my #1 if I can create the time off to go there. Otherwise I go to Stevens and Mt. Baker here in WA.

I would love to take a trip to Mt. Baker. Have you ever gone there to see the Mt. Baker Banked Slalom snowboard race?

"Back in 1989, I owned a Triumph TR7 convertible. That car needed to tow a spare car behind it just incase I needed a part."

That's how I felt when I had XJ6 Jaguars. Always had to have a spare in stock to rob for parts.

The TR7 was always a load rubbish. It didn't matter what you did with it it was still rubbish. Motorcycles, on the other hand, were a whole different parts bin.

[maurolin]

chicks dig bimmers.

[swits]

No, I haven't. I don't get up to Mt. Baker a lot because it's so much further than Stevens for me. Every year I tell myself that I'll go up more, but it's hard to find the time.

sydeshow; i was just razzing you on the stalker bit, but if you own night-vision goggles, i'm dead serious.

switz; happy belated birthday then! having verified you're not jailbait, i seventh the motion that you're cute (or whatever the count is at now).

Although not quite as bad, I used to have a 82 Datsun 280ZX. I swear, something went wrong on that car every other week. I really think I spent more time under the hood than in the drivers seat. Only good side to this was it taught me alot about cars and I got alot of hands on experience (that and it drove me to buy a realiable car, aka 318ti).

[sydeshow]

Well, I'm not a big fan of Halo2! Rally Sport Challenge2 on the other hand....=) I played until I got the ti, which you have to beat a lot of levels to get. The handling and braking is really awesome in the game!

cajun. 3 out of 4 grandparents are cajun.

if you need to ask, look it up. haha.

[aceyx]

rob; just kidding about the nice guys thing. they do get laid, it just takes longer.

but the good thing about that is if it fell off (god forbid) she'd still be around. in any event, it shouldn't be a priority.

props on the hot chocolate idea. that's mad smooth, even if the execution got borked.

[sydeshow]

Wooot!! Someone mentioned GT4 :p I thought it was coming out 15th of Dec?
i'm pretty sure it comes out on the 29th here in the states.

if you're somewhere else, it is possible that it could be another date.

[Maverix]

Somebody asked me to bump this :drdodgy:

[tiFreak]

you were just a little too slow, lol, see my post in the OT thread since I don't feel like moving it

[Maverix]

Poop damnit. I just saw it in the title suggestion box, and thought it was pretty interesting :lol:

[roadrash]

Oh gawd... please let this thread die. If you feel the need to get all emo and talk about girls, the OT section of bimmerforums.com is a MUCH better place.

[HuGo]

Holy sheet old revival thread batman!

lol, so true.

[Maverix]

Yes, I'm emo and love talking about girls. Who can blame me for being straight? :rolleyes:

I'm not responsible for what my d*ck does to my brain. After all, i'm still a teen, and my hormones are being blasted through my veins.

[ti4me]

2000 740iL for the wife, 1995 ti for me... You do the math ;-)

[Maverix]

Dang, what a player!

[pknlotpmp318]

I happened to read through this and I agree with the old comments about not wanting to mention the make of my car. Sometimes however the BMW name can be used to my advantage. The details of this particular event are hazy, but from what i remember there was a guy who thought he was cool because he owned a car that was faster and cost more than mine did, (It may have been a V6 mustang or something like that) but a girl said to me, "Don't worry about him, you're in a beamer!" I said to myself, "Sweet..." haha

You should've mentioned your 318ti.org sticker. I'm sure that would've scared the crap out of him.

[minicoop900]

[milehigh96caliti]

I was married to a cajun once...his dad is from Lafayette...so I would be right there with ya.
