I don't consider people who react differently because of a car to be automatically bad, a car reflects a major part of your decision making.
I know the few times there is ever a woman I am interested in, I do want to know what they drive, how they take care of it, etc. People spend a lot of time with cars, especially if they drive to work. If they drive something new that looks trashed, I'm movin' on along.
I also don't like a car that is obviously outside the cost of what I think would be practical to spend at a life stage/earnings.
If you are concerned about money followers, get a cheap back up car for first dates and social events. Use your BMW for work and trips that aren't to social places.
I also have to say if a woman didn't like my car, I would consider that a problem. If you think you have a problem with attention because girls see your car, imagine how an attractive looking young lady feels with guys she thinks just are after her because of how she looks.
Overall, it gives you more chances, just figure out who to no. What are their goals/wants/desires?
One thing that happens to the owner of a nice car, their attitude and confidence changes. There was an unofficial study on this posted on Pelican some time ago.
It is my goal to live a life with low baseline expenses, and a pad of savings. I prefer to make a home movie than sit and watch netflix or equivalent. I like to carefully consider things for days/weeks/months before buying. It is real easy for me to figure out who to say no to.
Some women just want a guy so they can post selfies with them on social media, pictures of out to dinner, etc... Those are pretty obvious too.
Know your relationship goals, figure out what you want/need, and try to work out what you need to be in order to appeal. It may be a truck, it may be a BMW, it may be a VW camper van...etc.
