Internet users forward photos of the "BMW girl"
Hubei Daily News (Chutian Golden Newspaper) - Trading time for a BMW? Recently, a beauty posted on a large e-commerce website that if someone would lend her a BMW car for a week, she would unconditionally accompany them for a month. To demonstrate her sincerity, the woman posted revealing pictures of herself online and even priced her "time" as a commodity. Her actions have drawn widespread criticism online, with some netizens jokingly asking: "Can I buy you on installment?" Other netizens commented: "Isn't this selling your body?!"
Condition: No 3-series, no domestic cars
On a local forum in Sichuan, a netizen named "Mapo Xiang" reposted the post: recently, a girl posted that if someone would lend her a BMW car for a week, she would unconditionally accompany them for a month.
The girl specifically wrote a clearly priced "price list," with the item name being "a month of someone (30 nights)," its condition as "brand new," original price unknown, and the current price being one week of BMW usage rights. After the "price list," it was particularly emphasized that the BMW should not be a 3-series and domestic models are rejected. She straightforwardly said: "I'm selling my time, yes, just selling my time. Selling my time for a BMW."
Whether intentional or unintentional, after the "30 nights," the posting girl specially added parentheses, writing inside "no illegal activities." Additionally, she explained why it was 30 nights instead of daytime, saying "because during the day, sister has to work, and I don't want the people at the company to know about this."
Reason: Be a queen at the class reunion
The girl revealed that she had just graduated from university this year, previously being the campus flower of a higher education institution, now working as a small clerk in a foreign enterprise in Shanghai with a monthly salary of 1500 yuan, and her boyfriend's family background is average, working as a salesperson in a foreign enterprise. In real life, she has never thought about riding in a BMW. Not long ago, an old high school classmate sent a text message inviting her to participate in the National Day class reunion.
In the post, the girl talked about the reason for "30 nights for a BMW": "Old classmates are organizing a reunion for National Day, and they say there's no excuse not to come... This is a show-off meeting!" "Standing in front of classmates looking poor, how can I hold my head up?" At the end of the post, the girl frankly admitted: "I want to drive back in a BMW, adorned with gold and silver jewelry, letting them see what I've become after five years. I like the feeling of being flattered, making me feel like a queen."
The girl revealed multiple photos of herself, heavily made-up with alluring poses. Some netizens doubted that the photos did not match reality, but a netizen who claimed to be her classmate confirmed that they were indeed real, even posting screenshots of her Renren profile.
Brickbats: All due to vanity
According to a rough estimate by the reporter, within just over half a day of appearing on Taobao's homepage, the post had nearly 200,000 views. Netizens criticized the post harshly, believing that the female student's values were extremely negative, and a considerable number of netizens believed this was self-promotion by the girl, doubting whether a real girl would actually do such a thing.
This post was reprinted on major forums nationwide. On one forum, the number of replies exceeded one thousand. Regarding the girl's behavior, a netizen replied: "If time can be purchased with goods, according to this logic, then I can marry you on installment?"
Some netizens bluntly stated: the girl's actions were driven by vanity. Other netizens directly left comments accusing her: "Isn't this selling yourself?!"

Expert commentary
Vulgar hype, violating morality
Experts from the Social Research Institute of the Sichuan Academy of Social Sciences stated that the girl's post indicating trading time for a BMW car, and daring to publish her own photos online, was aimed at capturing attention, achieving the purpose of self-promotion. This kind of malicious hype, which does not consider any cost and uses vulgar behavior to attract attention, is harmful. Moreover, the girl comparing her time to a commodity for exchange inherently violates basic moral principles.
Experts further pointed out that the vulgarity of such posts lies in their being purposeful and planned network hype. The "girl" already has a boyfriend working in a foreign enterprise; would she not fear her boyfriend turning against her for such public sale of her real photos online? If the transaction succeeds and she accompanies a stranger for 30 nights, would she still wish to build a family? It can be judged that this is a meaningless, vulgar hype, and wise netizens should not believe her, allowing this kind of hype to lose its "market."
Website response
No mention of social responsibility?
Subsequently, the reporter contacted the large shopping website where the post first appeared. A Mr. Zhang, who identified himself as the head of the public relations department, said that regarding this incident, the website believes it is not illegal, but also does not advocate such values. When asked why such news could appear on the website's homepage and whether the negative impact was considered, the staff member said: placing it on the homepage is automatically done by a program based on the number of clicks by netizens. Additionally, the website itself is merely a trading platform, not a media outlet, so there is no issue of social responsibility.
