My wife, hates the ///M3. With a passion. She is not a car person, and this car has been the focal point of many painfully arguments (not shouting, we don't shout). Typically the result is her in tears and me frustrated. She would rather never have to drive a car (she hates cars), and would have preferred a $20k subaru wagon from like 2012. She thinks the money an M costs is silly and could be spent on better things.

My wife is awesome
A week later and I can't get this thread out of my head... I just cannot even imagine fighting about a car, and your wife being reduced to tears over it!

Anyway, I hope your birthday was a very happy one, (the gifts from her were great!), and I sincerely hope your next year is tear-free from arguments about a car.

Very cool gift. My wife had this sign made for me at a farmers market and gave it to me for my birthday a few years back:



And she bought me this for Christmas last year:

Unfortunately it happened. It was a confusing time. One day she is suggesting car colors and options, and the next day it was a "no". My wife is sensitive. She is awesome, and i love her sensitiveness - but it can sometimes be a negative. Good thing, our overall relationship is 100 times more important than this. She did say that I would not be getting an Aston Martin

I pinged my wife for it, but someone else found it on Bimmerfest. So here you go

FYI..it's made from 11 gauge steel, using a cnc plasma cutter, and the color is a powder coat. Really good stuff

So, she got me a birthday gift. A testament to how much she loves me, she found this item on Etsy. It's made really well (solid metal, think xylophone, except stronger). I can even hang it in the living room.

BTW, like 10 seconds before I opened the box I guessed what it was. She was like "how the heck did you know". It was a total shot in the dark, more of a mocking statement because I didn't think she would buy this (remember, she hates the car).

My wife is awesome
