hahaha, this came up on my facial book feed, and with my passion to hate all BMW drivers it is worth a share. If your a BMW driver on this forum kindly lube up with some 10W30 and fist yourself, for all the people you cut off and sped by today.

One of my old coworkers drove a bmw and yes she was an asshole. :lol:
I would say blue bimmer is the exception. But I think you could expand it to all German cars. Honestly, when I used to manage an automotive shop VW owners were the worst.
I still think "Mustang Head" is the worst form of automotive snobbery. Example: "No way you could beat me in a race. I got an 88' GT with the 5 point O. Fastest year from the factory."
It's a real problem here. They're constantly running lights, cutting in front of people, driving the opposite speeds of each lane and smoking up a storm. It wouldn't be so bad if there weren't so many of them.

Huge status symbol in Japan, and all of Asia, really. Part of that is just because of a huge import tax on foreign cars.

I should buy a BMW.
I once was a passenger in an early to mid 90s BMW 3 compact. The owner drove it like a mad man once we were outside of villages/towns and entered into zones with no speed restrictions. However, the street was pretty narrow with lots of curves and vegetation left and right, so you had trouble seeing what's coming at you after the next curve. His suspension setup was pretty bad, we were 4 people in his car and the suspension bottomed out every so often. I told him he should get harder springs, but he blamed it on damper oil being too soft. Erm... His car was also full of badly aligned custom body/grill parts.
But then, I am riding a bicycle everyday to work, and I've seen enough asshole bike riders that drive through red lights on crowded crossings, cut others off on streets and bike lanes, use annoying fast-blinking lights instead of a safe constant lighting in the night, and the list goes on and on. One funny thing I found out aggressive bicycle drivers in my area have in common: They all wear helmets.
Please take what I say with a grain of salt. It is easy for us to remember just the 1 bad example in a sea of 100 good people.
Word Clod, but we are talking BMW drivers here. :) They get no pass.

Living in a college town, I would have to say the worst are young girls in huge SUVs. I'm not sure why every 19 year-old girl needs the largest vehicle made. They have difficulty with every single aspect of driving and parking. They can't stay within their own parking space. They can't back out of said parking space. They're too busing texting to know when the fucking light turns green. Fuck man, what are parents teaching their children these days?

Hmmm ... looks like quite a lot of US Citizens are too embarrassed to tell the truth to the pollsters. :-k
Meanwhile ... the Canadians, British and Spanish judge success by the amount of time that they can spend drinking in pubs and cantinas; and the Swedes are just plain on a different planet. :wink:
I've never owned a BMW car, but I have a 30 yo motorcycle that I have to do all the work on myself. It has 100K miles, and still has the original laser and capacitors.
...but that's a lot different than buying a New 325i. The BMW motorcycle forums are as tight knit as we are here, helping others with bikes, parts, repairs, customizations, etc... and a general contempt for the assholes described in this article. They want to keep bikes on the road just like we want to keep Duo's on the road. I literally have to make parts (gaskets, electrical, body, etc.) for the fucking thing sometimes.
We make fun of the car drivers as much as this article does on the regular. It's a completely different mentality; they covet the machines for the name and status it brings, and we ride BMW's because the bikes will run damn near forever if maintained properly.
So I'm an asshole. Not sure if the author had cyclists in mind, but he said ownership, so I'll wear that badge on my riding jacket.

Or maybe its the weaving in and out of traffic and consistently doing 30 to 40 mph over the speed limit ;) Personally I see a larger percent of motorcycle drivers break the rules of the road than that of cars/vans/trucks.

Hey! I resemble that remark!
We used to have 530d e39s for work. Brilliant cars. Invincible. I'm being given a company car today a brand new 116d. But those 530ds were the best. So comfy, so powerful so up to the Job. E39 was most well built mass produced car imo.
E39s are one of my favorite BMWs. I drive an e53 now which is basically the SUV version of the e39. The only model i like better are the e30s.
must be nice to have the diesel e39s though. That would have been sweet!

So you're saying I'm an asshole? :lol: Them's fighting words. :twisted:
Well you are driving an F15... We all know the E53 was the first and last good BMW SUV... Could be worse, you could have bought an X6. Those grant you guaranteed douchebag status.

Totally agree. Over the years I've had multiple Mustang drivers trying to race me on the streets/freeway. I had one fucking idiot revving his engine, with his buddy hanging out the window and gesturing at me, trying to get me to race. It was a pitiful display. Seems like Mustang drivers are always trying to prove their cars are fast.

My dad used to drive a BMW years ago, but he's definitely an asshole. He's a Land Rover driver now and they seem to be even bigger assholes.
If you can catch a land rover from the early 2000s they're essentially a BMW. I honestly wouldn't mind like a 2002 land rover with the 4.4 V8. Those are basically 85% a BMW X5 of the same year. Same engine, same electronics, everything. I can hook up diagnostics to one of those and tell the system its a 2002 X5 and I can talk to nearly every control module in the car. Plus that V8 was baller awesome. BMW M62TU was a fabulous engine if not a little high in the maintenance department
In San Diego there's a mustang car club called wicked stangs. It is hilarious, and now whenever I see a mustang I can't help but say wicked stang bruh!
I do like the 2002+ Range Rover, those look nice. I knew that Land Rover and BMW shared a lot of component but didn't know about the same engine. Interesting, so reliability is probably a lot better compared to the 90's models? I know the older Range Rovers had major problems which deters me from ever getting any Land Rover.

Personally speaking, no. I don't drive like an asswipe, never have. There's a nearby large closed-off place (used to be a race track) where we go sometimes on a weekend where I let the car loose, so to speak.
But on normal working hours or just general driving on the road I'm always respectful to other drivers. My wife even has to scold me sometimes to put the foot down otherwise "we'll be late, again!"
I am just fucking in fighting street guys :P blue beam and I'm sure some of you others with bmws are not assholeeeee-oooo's but my stretch of the highway to work is full of them.

Lexus intentionally conditions their customers this way. The way they treat customers at the Lexus dealer is basically a massive ass kissing session. "Wow, you drive a Lexus? You are so smart! You have really great taste! You are so much better than everyone else!"
