BMW owners likelier to cheat on their partners

Melbourne, April 19 (ANI): If you own a BMW, you are more likely to have an extra-marital affair, according to a new survey.

The survey from UK-based dating website NineMSN's "Illicit Encounters" claims to have polled its 640,000 members and found that 19.21 per cent of male members who admitted to being unfaithful were BMW owners, reported Carsguide.com.au

Audi came in second as the choice of car for the wandering partners with 8.79 per cent, then Mercedes with 8.23 per cent, Jaguar (6.5 per cent) and Land Rover (4.94 per cent).

Illicit Encounters spokesperson Rosie Freeman-Jones said "there's an intrinsic link between success and cheating".

"Successful people are often risk-takers, and have got to where they are by setting their standards high," the Herald Sun quoted her as saying.

"However, these people are also less likely to settle for unsatisfying relationships or monotony," she added. (ANI)
