BMW disrespect (kind of funny)

I was driving home in my S560. Usually in the center lane with auto drive turned on. Going at 75. I had just passed someone and was about to move back over. There was NO ONE behind me. (I thought.). This BMW 535? comes up behind me doing about 90. They pass on the right and get in front of me. Then they slow down to 80 then 70…. I think we got as slow as 50. I gave them a friendly one finger wave then got back in the middle lane. I would totally understand if I was blocking traffic but the only car was the one I was passing.

Do BMW drivers not understand that we have the right of way? Who does this guy think he is?

(My husband drives a 2010 535i. It has a CD changer. That’s the only nice thing I can say about it.) 🤣

2023 E-Class Coupe (C238)
To be fair, I've seen Mercedes drivers here in Dallas do things with their cars that defy the laws of gravity as well as common sense.

Not long after I got my new E450, I was on the highway and a BMW 32WGAF came up on me like a bat out of hell. I was doing 85. I just moved over and let him pass. In my youth it would have been different but it's funny how paying for your own vehicle manipulates your ego. Anyway I figured it was his accident to have. Sure enough...about 5 miles later, he's in the #1 lane and his car is a smoldering wreck (along with another BMW). Oops...hope that wasn't dad's car.
