BMW owners

Sometimes they get characterized as jerks, elitists, tools, etc. They are the butt of jokes(the difference between a porcupine and a BMW). And then sometimes you see something like this, that makes you start believing in those stereotypes. I want to make it perfectly clear that I took a look at the front and back of the vehicle and there is no handicap tags on it anywhere.



I was going to blur out the X FIVE 12, but figured this jerk needed to be outed. And there were plenty of available parking spaces in the lot.

Me love BMW too (used to own V8 X5), but +1 on what pointman said. The current e46 drivers might be the worst in terms of driving ethics.

I'm buying an E90 M3 after college, so I must add that not all BMW owners are like that. I will agree though, the E46 owners are bar none the worst. In fact, I know a real idiotic BMW driver come to think of it...

not all bmw driviers are idiots but there are alot of them lol I like the e39 m5, the e46 m3 is a bit dissapointing in my opinion. It's kinda funny when a bmw owner in a e90 pulls up next to you (320) something like that and wants to race you lol

1. Maybe he ran in really quick to grab his pizza from dominos? Just kidding. I used to have an E46 M3 and I wasn't like that. I swear.
2. You need to hardwire your Escort. Having power cords dangle over the dashboard is so 2002.

That BMW was parked there for at least 15 minutes that I know of. Yes I do need to get it hardwired. I'm looking into it.

But broh... if it's faster in the 1/4, it's gotta be better... rightt??

I actually liked the driving dynamics of the facelifted E90 335i. I thought the car was well-put together in terms of handling and throttle response.

I am excited on what the new M3 would be like. I heard it would have a TT6, which would be great for someone looking for a good handling car with easily modifiable engine.

The 335 is nice. But the hoards of sideways cap wearing, tanning bed using, rave loving, faux tough guys who think they drive a lambo when in one really killed it for me.

The BMW owners I like to poke fun at the most are the 323i drivers. I always snicker when a self important looking person gets out of one. Base Model Fail!
