BMW drivers are asshats? What! Get out, really?

Not all, but some. They park like asshats, they drive like asshats, I'd wager some even look literally like an ass-hat. But I've always noticed that about a solid 70% of the time, the person driving like a firey chode is driving a base model Bimmer. It's the 320 or 328, typically not the M3, that deserves a straight up bitch slap. They've just traded up from their Camry and are big shots now, they're slower than their Camry V6 was, but to hell with it: act fast and sharp steering input, you are fast!
And while we're at it, Merc drivers. It's the B Class folks. They say don't drive angry, but come on, you drive a B Class, I'd be constantly pissed too.

After all, a BMW is the "Ultimate Driving Machine"! It's not their fault, it's all that prestige the car exudes.

My girlfriend says this all the time, including the observation about the base model BMWs driving worse than the higher-model ones... she says that on her commute (to a wealthy suburb) she usually doesn't worry about the M5s or M3s or 6-series even if they're driving relatively fast, but she's constantly cut off by various generations of base 3-series and X-models. Where I live it's a combination of exactly the type of base-model owners you describe and the high school kids in barely road-worthy E30s and E36s.

People driving cars like 328i's think they are wealthy

People driving cars like 750iL's know they are wealthy

File order of driving jackassery by level of car and age of car and you can depict who drives how.

haha true enough

Reminds me of Frank Sinatra:
'You buy a Ferrari when you want to be somebody. You buy a Lamborghini when you are somebody.'
