i figured id put this up to see what you guys have experienced with this and like the name entails. firstly, i love bmws think there nice cars i have nothing against the company and i hope to one day have an m3 or m5 to compliment the AMG. that all being said this morning i had my girl at the car wash and i was washing her.... go figure. these two kids like teenage guys show up in 325is revving their engines and circling the little isalnd were the bays are looking at me. i pay them no mind. so they wash their cars too. afterwards they come around and make sure i see em leaving again then burn out and leave...... punks. reminds me of when i was a kid and thought mustangs were fast. this clientelle of BMW drivers by me just irks me. i really never try to show off the car or try and act like hey look at me. thats why i got a C55 originally. anyways i guess thats my rant but its just so juevenille to me these little kids. i mean revving and burning out leaving a car show is one thing but. saturday morning at a car wash.....is it that small?

I dont know what it is.. but the younger kids are just more attracted to buying bmws.
My littlest brother is 18 now and all his rich friends got BMWs bought for them and they think they are in the hottest cars available. Mostly 328s and 335s. They roll around together and the kids all look the same. Designer sunglasses, backwards yankee cap, bling earring, and tapeup. Its very comical.
Id rather it that way; seems like the benz crowd, especially AMG crowd, is more mature and knowlegable about cars in general.
Its funny tho how all the young BMW fanboys talk down benz so hard, yet i feel like the "AMG" letters scare the crap out of them. Maybe its not so much that they really believe they are faster, but because they are just terrified of the thought their PERFECT DRIVING MACHINE losing to AMGS.

the coolest crowd of drivers besides us in IMO are subaru drivers. they always seem to be chill people. the more performance mods they have, the cooler they become. at least they give you a thumbs up when they get smoked on the highway.

For sure, I couldn't agree more. One of my friends has a sick WRX hatch and he's a pretty down to earth guy.

I see teenagers/early 20s driving 3 series all the time, some modded in ridiculous ways, fake M3 badges, moronic exhaust tips etc. And the attitudes are always the same. The only thing you can do is ignore them. Not sure why the BMW is their car of choice (I would think Jason Statham movies with the ubiquitous Audis would attract them more)

Anyway, you just got to give 'em a beatdown if they diss on you like that. Nothing else to do.

In my experience, most M3 and M5 owners I have come across are, understandably, a bit more mature. The main reason for that is that even the last generation M3 still sells for a pretty penny (they are retaining their values the same, if not better, than the C55) and so your average 16 year old kid can't afford one, and typically older equates to wiser (not always!). As others have indicated, the lower-end and older model BMWs tend to be driven by the younger crowd. However, in Northern Virginia I have noticed an increase in young guys driving the '08 - '10 335i model coupes in particular who tend to drive a bit "showy" for my tastes. I did have one positive experience with a BMW owner when I came out of my gym this past February, the owner of a 2011 M3 had parked right next to me and was unloading his trunk. I threw my gear in the trunk and just said "nice car" and he said "thanks man", which started a conversation. He was in his late 30s and, although he did look like a jersey shore type, he was pretty cool and by no means an a-hole. Again, I think it just comes back to the fact that the young kids driving the cheaper/older BMWs are just too young to really appreciate/understand respect.

Definitely not dissing the car! When I recently got in an accident in my C55 I looked at the 330xi but ultimately decided against it, reading about a number of gremlins that car had... you read about this at all? Mainly basing this on consumer reviews on edmunds.com.

Just traded in the wifes C63 for a 550i 6spd...... very comfo daily driver for the wife and family trips. I can def see the attraction to brand X. I appreciate all types/brands.
I've seen punks in every make/model. I saw some people in suped up e55's driving like a-holes the other week.... weaving in/out of traffic like F1 racing. So it's no brand specific.

haha, yea the jersey shore types. i felt i handled it best by ignoring them. they probably saw my mark of perfection on my car which is why they felt the need to act a fool. i have respect for all car enthusiats cars at the heart of it its the love of the car or the ride. but that being said i hate ricers. i respect STI and nismo for their engineering prowess but besides that it does nothing for me. personally its apples and oranges with the diffrent german car companies, variety is the spice of life. but i love all the feedback made my day reading this haha.

I think it's the "i have to prove something" crowd, whether it be BMW, mercedes, or even Honda that give these cars such a bad rep. I don't think it's brand specific, but it's more noticeable on certain brands. We have all done questionable things with our cars, but hopefully it's not something we make a habit of doing.

lol. i agree with the posts above. i think its just that bmws are known to be the "ultimate driving machine" and to my knowledge, they handle pretty well on the road stock.
most kids 16-18 getting their hands on the e36 and e46 for cheap. no joke. buddy of mind worked for a summer, sold his 240 to get his hands on an e36 m3 for a fairly reasonable price. he turned it into a track car. and this was while he was still in college. i mean, kids with cars are always gonna be kids. they always wanna show off their ride so i usually dont pay them any attention.
however, i will also admit that i used to be that kid before as well. its all about maturity level. something they will learn as they get older. at least its something i did when i grew a bit older. haha
