I have a BMW I4 and never felt that way in the past. I always thought it was Lexus, Mercedes, and then Audi as douchebag cars. They cost a lot and usually have over pretentious white people that drive them badly.
I vowed several years back not to buy another gas car, nor an SUV of any kind, and never *ever* a BMW. And yet now I drive a BMW X1 and it's totally fun, and I work very very hard not to be an asshole BMW driver.
It's pretty funny to find out that BMW owners are not aware that they tend to drive like complete ass holes. I guess lack of self awareness is part of it. No other high end auto owners seem to have the same issue.
I was shocked how fast I could take turns when I first test drove the BMW I now own. Itβs like the car wants to go faster, and mine is 14 years old and isnβt even turbo. I think the brand just attracts people who like to drive spirited. I drive that way regardless of what car Iβm in. I do signal tho
I donβt mind βspiritedβ or even aggressive drivers. What I hate is the guy whoβs up my ass when thereβs a ton of traffic and getting in front of me is only going to get you behind someone going the same speed. Or the guy who completely ignores stop signs and cross walks.
Yea thatβs the worst. Where I live (Texas) itβs mostly the full size trucks and SUVs doing that. But I know this stuff changes depending on your region lol
Eh. The jokes were all played out and really just get recycled for all the premium brands. I know it doesnβt apply to me because I always signal. I also donβt want body damage so thereβs no way in hell Iβm going to tailgate anyone.
Nice! I have a mid-life-crisis-red Cayman that I rarely get a chance to drive any more. My wife likes to drive it in the summer because the drive thru baristas flirt with her. π€ͺ
No, I still believe and will DIE on this hill that it's the extended everything F1000 ridiculous sized tires pickup drivers whose truck beds NEVER get dirty.
It from my experience isnβt usually a red neck small testicular man in a Mercedes driving around you ( as I am going the speed limit) on a double solid yellow lined hill. That honor belongs to the huge pickup truck that apparently makes up for very small men usually in red hats.
I thought they're Mercedes but I'm a Babyboomer what do I know?! I do cringe-extra when I see a (8x?) recalled cyber "truck." Let's hope Elon is bankrupt before he mass produces robots or else he may well have DOGE program them to attack when the government finally decides to come down on him hardβ
Not the cars. They're great. It's their owners. For some unknown reason, they are the most selfish drivers I come across. No other similar brand of high end car comes close.
It's a pretty common occurrence in my life to notice that the person driving in such a way as to convey "fuck you, you're dirt," is behind the wheel of a BMW.
Definitely. Teslaβs are super popular here in my Silicon Valley town, but I suspect no oneβs buying them anymore. I never noticed them to be bad drivers.
I test drove their ev sedan and I loved it. Probably the best of anything Iβd test drove, but Iβm responsible for driving 3 girls with impossibly large backpacks and band instruments to and from school, so I needed something with more cargo space and their SUV was out of my price range.
Had no idea. Someone replied to me βIt's a pretty common occurrence in my life to notice that the person driving in such a way as to convey "fuck you, you're dirt," is behind the wheel of a BMW.β
I donβt do that, doubt you do, but at least we know nowπ€
I am a BMW driver and I definitely approve of this message
It's also true and hilarious but I've never understood why BMW drivers are sooo hated everywhere. Not so bad in Australia but maybe that's because I don't drive like a total dick π€
Back in the late 80's, my first and only car accident was with a BMW, driven by a lawyer, who ran a red light and hit me. He then promptly tried to say it was the other way around to the cops. Fortunately, there were plenty of witnesses who stopped and corrected him to his face.

Why do BMW drivers drive like such dicks?
Every time I see a car on the highway weaving in and out, its a BMW.
Plenty of cars are just as fast and maneuverable.
Is there a douchebag setting or something?
Tesla has douchebag as default mode...it's in its DNA, obviously.
Porcupines have pricks on the -outside-.
He does use his blinker, so he's mostly a good one lol
Tesla's have pricks on the inside.
BMW is a lot better than Prius.
BMW actually move quickly
I donβt do that, doubt you do, but at least we know nowπ€

They mostly seem like a bunch of people who own expensive cars b/c they don't actually like driving.
Also, they apparently never, ever look in their rear-view mirror or pay attention to anyone around them while driving.
"For now."
Seriously have this thought daily!
βWhatβs the difference between a Tesla and a porcupine?"
A: βOn a porcupine, the pricks are on the outside."
I say itβs the Mustang drivers!
Not really, but it's still running & has low mileage like me.
