The type of chicks you'd pick up with a BMW aren't the type you would want to stay with for very long, your wallet would probably agree.
The twins always seem to have a group of dudes all around them. Though of course I see no issue with this.
You seem like you want a status symbol though, so go for the BMW. Have fun with those maintenance costs!
At the Socal and the mustang comment...OMG, you have no idea. They're everywhere.
