I think that you need to qualify the answer by also noting your geographical location and your marital statuts. (And whether you are a guy or a girl...cheers Alison.) :) :)

The summary is that I have never had a chick go out with me just because I have the 850. I'm in Atlanta, and I find that chicks liked my old 6-series better. I also find that women in Atlanta don't know what an 8 is, and the usual resoponse is that a Z3 is "cuter". One even asked me if I would trade my 8 for a Z3 for her!!

One was intimidated by it because when you close the door for them, the window does that little roll-up thing...then when you start it, the phone comes on, and the radar detector boots-up. Then you put it into reverse and the right side mirror goes down...then if it's winter, I turn on their seat heater without them noticing, and they freak out when the seat starts to heat. And 100 mph comes up pretty quick if you are already going 80. That's too much for some people to take.
