Now that there are a bunch on the road, are the majority of e90 drivers that you see male or female?

I'm sure this differs according to region, but down in South Florida I typically see female drivers in the e90. And they're all white with beige interior--my boyfriend who works at Champion Audi says they call that the "housewife combo"

[SRT]

Female, mostly black or asian, when I say asian I mean the UK version of asians, we refer to Pakistanis', Indians' etc as asians, not orientals

[Nikki]

Aren't they technically Middle Eastern? Or you don't use that term there?

[luckystrike]

i think they are called middle eastern, asians are the ones usually from china, japan, philippines etc...

[SRT]

Technically yeah, Middle Eastern, but we've never used that term here. Too many divisions and various origins...

[LEDZEP]

I still don't see very many E90s, although I'm seeing more lately. So Nikki, are you calling me a housewife? Gee whiz.

[turboislife]

In Germany around the Hanau and Frankfurt area I see more males, and some females, color of the car black, silver, the puke red almost purple color.

[davinet78]

most of the e90s i see are being driven by male drivers

[climkt]

In singapore, i guess the ratio is about 60:40 male to female/ women love the executive image and snob appeal of the car too.
Only the blokes mod the cars exteriorly and interiorly, generally. women love stock cars, judging by the e90 cars i see driven by local women here.
my wife cannot understand the rationale behind any car exterior mod.
After a while, the new kersche front bumper , 18 inch rims, and blackline tailights seem to appeal to her more- now she says 'at least it is worth the money, if it looks good!'

[ward]

it seems like it's 70-30 out here (more guys with 3's)

X3 on the other hand seems to be about 70% female

[sdorn]

To tell the truth, I don't see a lot of E90s here in Atlanta. I might see one every two or three days, but definitely not every day. I see a bunch of E46s, though. They are everywhere.

[kluke07]

Here in the Dallas-Fort Worth area I dont see a lot of E90's either. I have only seen around 4-5 330i's. Mostly males.

[BMW786]

I see mostly guys driving the E90, usually 330i's w/SP. Most of the women I see driving the E90 usually get the 325 without Xenons, stock rims, etc.

[climkt]

So general consensus, more blokes driving e90s.just out of curosity, what are the types of drivers that you see in your home town? - the teeny boppers, young execs and housewife , retirees etc. the e90 has been around in Singapore for about a year.
The most common person behind the wheel is a middle age bloke- mid 30s, like myself followed by the housewife types. i think the older local guys prefer the new 5 and the 7 series. probably, not cool / hip for older chaps, because they should be aspiring for more up market cars- the older guys here tend to drive the M3 coupe or convertible here rather than base model 3 series. Cars in singapore are still ridiculously expensive despite a recent falling trend.

I know what you mean. In Moscow, Blacks is a term to group mostly anyone middle eastern and from other parts of southwest asia. There is a much smaller percent of actualy african's (not americans) in that category, maybe 5 or 10.


At any rate....

Grandmas. Usually a housewife that's approaching or has past her mid life crissis point, about 40~50...

Although last week, while getting my service done at the stealership (for 4 hours), I saw a few hot milfs in their mid/late 20's...

Just an FYI - Indians and Pakistanis are really 'South Asians.' They aren't considered Middle-Eastern though they may look like they are...they can be considered 'Asians' as well but I think most people think of ppl. from Southeast Asia in that category, like you said (i.e. China, Japan, etc.) Anyways, this is

[triton.]

Just to clarify a bit

Good border is the Himalayas. East of that people are considered Asian which is why Pakastanis are considered middle easter instead of Asian. *I could be wrong at the part with Pakastanis*

Asians: Chinese, Tiawanese, Mongolian, Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean, and other reagions around there.

Indians from India are considered Asian also. Sometimes refered to as Asian Indian.

Philipinos aren't asian. They are Pacific Islanders.

[climkt]

hi triton, correction on philipinos. they are South east asians, hence asians. pacific islanders are people like the maori kiwis, descendants from pacific islands.

Not according to the philipinos I know. That's the only source for my knowledge though on that classification.

Philipinos aren't asian. They are Pacific Islanders.

in regards to the statement about filipinos, the ones i know, it's about 50/50. some consider themselves asian while the others say they're pacific islander. it's a never ending debate.

when i took an asian american studies class in college, filipinos were considered asian. as well as indians (india).

[shragon]

back to the original question, i think i see about 60% men and 40% women owners.

[BellasBmw]

Ive seen more males driving them. But i cant stand when they sit real low and far back, then drive with one hand and their arm practically covers their face. They think they're the shit.

Anyway the few girls i have seen drive them have the lighter colors. Ive seen more women in silver, artic and white.
