These people seem to amaze me everyday from NJ to VA on a daily basis.

This place is a joke.
The raised stop was in the drivers blind spot once he moved forward.

That raised stop went up while it was in the BMW's blind spot. Also, being both an ///M and AMG owner I can tell you that my friends with BMW's are far better drivers then my AMG and muscle car buddies, since we actually do HPDE's and track days. No offense but going to the drag strip doesn't make you a better driver, I rarely ever see a Benz at any of my track days.

If it's a V12 top of the line 760iL I'd go ahead and assume it'll at least have the Parktronic sensors. Blind spot or not they should've started beeping or what not. The sensors would've picked up the track. Sometimes when I'm getting to close to the curb to park the sensors go off in my car too.

There could be a possibility that the driver had them turned off but I doubt it.

Here you go Buddy "try m3"

Read that article before and I know a lot of BMW drivers are douche bags but what does that have to do with driver skill level?

I, apologise. I mistook your comment as you comparing jerk level rather skill.

Albeit, we see the skill in the above video lol.

Anyhow ***** does happen and the above, I believe, is another case of ***** happening lol

Once again, my bad for the misunderstanding. As for your original comment, I can't compare, my friends who own bimmers drive like

pimps , seat laid back all the way and driving under the speed limit. lol

No worries BMW drivers definitely take the award for jerk level I must admit lol. ///M drivers are not as big of douches though it's the 335i guys that are the biggest douches. Their cars with bolt-ons will pull M3's and they're always trying to justify their purchase. One of the main reasons I got an E55 was so I can shut them, mustangs, and Camaros up lol.

It's Russia. I'm not surprised at all. Every second at the railroad crossing is an eternity, usually as soon as train goes they go around.
He didn't see it come up obviously at all over the hood probably leaning back relaxing.

I was wondering why he was waiting on the wrong side of the road for the train to pass. This explains it.

There are a lot of stupid and arrogant BMW drivers, but the ones who know what they are talking about and attend multiple HPDEs a year (myself included) are among some of the best drivers. I feel bad for this guy because it was partially those idiot's fault who were standing on the barricade... I would have given that dude in the white shirt a piece of my mind.

BMW drivers believe they are great drivers more than any other marque.

When you buy a car sold as "the ult driving machine" it can lead to visions of grandeur ..... I get this feeling everytime I pilot my wife's Dinan x5 5.0!!!!!!
