BMW Drivers and Reputation

mirob · 03-08-2017, 12:22 PM

I know a lot of us get a bad rep because of idiots like this but surely it's not just BMW drivers? Surely there have to be other morons out there that do this, or dumb things in general, in other car brands?

My question is, is it really mostly BMW drivers that do this type of driving or are we the ones standing out? If so, why?

Chime in!

Umm...that is crazy (irresponsible). But no, not limited to just BMW. Knew a guy who likes to drift and would do it in the rain out on the street (just every day driving). Don't care if he's good or knows what he's doing, I just think it should be on the tracks.

Agreed!

I know that recently Mustang drivers have been taking a bad rep leaving C&C events acting like d-bags, showing off, and nearly hitting bystanders and cars. However, once that dies down the spotlight is back on us. It's almost like, we won't be outdone!

This guy should own a motorcycle if he's that into splitting lanes....be a shame if he side swiped someone with those antics.

My BMW is a piece of shit, so I think I fit in better with the Civic reputation.

From personal experience and research, Audi (A4, A5, A7) and Benz (C-Class, E-Class, GLE-Class) drivers tend to be worse than BMW drivers.

That said, assholes aren't confined to one brand...with the exception of Hyundai Genesis drivers.

So would I. That guy must really know his car, the first pass he did has my toes tingling.

Wtf?! We don't know what happened prior to the video but wtf?!

jaye944 · 03-10-2017, 12:55 PM

it really doesn't matter what happened,
it was an ambulance, EMR's trumps all
the guy will have landed in court for that,
what a douchebag.
