BMW Drivers
What is it with people who drive BMW's?
There may be honourable exceptions (what do I know?) but as far as I can make out the typical BMW driver is an obnoxious, pushy, arrogant, obnoxious .... a suitable noun has yet to be invented to follow these adjectives. Anyone would think that when you buy a BMW you get "the deeds" to the public highway.....grumble, grumble, grouse, whine, grumble moan. There, I said it!

They must be the same people who drive Dodge trucks in the US.

Well you tend to get a cadre of people who love BMWs as the 'ultimate driving machine', a person inclined to buy the 'ultimate driving machine' probably thinks they go along with the car as, 'the ultimate driver'. Which probably leads to a certain confidence/arrogance on the road.
Though really, you tend to see a similar aggressiveness of driving with any 'high class' or 'sporty' car. Of course there is serious confirmation bias at play, all those Challengers or Mustangs (with racing stripes) with perfectly defensive drivers behind the wheel don't get noticed. And something like a Honda Civic or Toyota Camry tends to just blend in with all the other vehicles on the road so the driver-car connection doesn't tend to get made.

My younger brother and his wife have a BMW wagon. It's a great car, and he loves the power for sure, but he's one of the best drivers I know, along with his wife.
However, I was in San Diego when the BMW Z3 was big...I'll concede the point with the higher-end BMW's on that basis alone. Just remember, there are always exceptions

When I read this, my first thought was that you were trying to plug a BMW into a computer and make it work...

And I expected it to be a joke thread about Big Mormon Wagons.
