Actually, this is another sore point with me. People are forever saying how BMW drivers drive aggressively, inconsiderately, too fast, without indicators, etc. We also get accused of parking badly. I spend a *lot* of time on the road and I can honestly say that I don't see any significant difference between BMW drivers and drivers of any other kind of car. Sure, some BMW drivers do these things, but no more than with any other car.
My only consolation is those who are moaning don't have the pleasure out of their cars that we have out of ours....  ------------- Ciao, Spokey

That's the point spokey, they are just jealous because they don't have a BMW! Pikey ------------- Old enough to know better, too young to care! |

I myself think that the drivers of other cars, (ie not BMW) forgot to tick the box marked "Indicators" in the optional extras list when they bought the car!

-actually I thought it was quite funny, (even though I own and drive a BMW) not for the content per se but the way it was done. I think it might be an envy thing that sets people off like this, and preconceptions are difficult to shatter- it only takes one prat with a roundel on his car before we are all tarred with the same brush. cheers

I have heard so much rubbish about how BMW drivers a rude, inconsiderate, impatient etc. It really gets on my **** Even before I had a BMW I can honestly say that I never noticed BMWs being driven any worse, or better than any other car. The notion that you can determine how someone will drive simply based on the kind of car they own is just stupid. ------------- Entering an age of Austerity and now driving a Focus Diesel. |

Actually, I suspect people may have a minor point. What other mass produced car is so much fun and inspires you to want to drive and stretch the car? What other car is so rewarding when you get it right and forgiving when you get it wrong? I find myself ducking off the motorway at every possible chance to go and drive a new and twisty road.  ------------- Ciao, Spokey
