I ran 5 people off the road today. Will I have to cut back when I get my 5er?

No - you'll just be able to do two or three at a time!

Really, only 2 or 3 - I thought we had a built in right of way
Interesting reading the post here, because I used to get lots of other drivers having a go when I had my E46 3er M-Sport (loved that car - an absolute classic!!) but now with my E60 I find that people typically don't bother and definitly get out the way a lot quicker without me even having to push
If I see what looks like a high-powered car coming up behind me quickly, e.g. Porsche/M5/RS6, I always get straight out of the way and let it through - could be what others think of the E60 (m-sport) when they see it in their mirror

The biggest impact is that it's one of several marques which have been observed to be, on occasion, "in a hurry".
I find if my xenons are on (when appropriate of course), I get an even clearer road!

I think the bottom line any courtesy or reasonable attitude has in general gone from many drivers on UK roads. All seem to be on some sort of mission. Its a pity as driving can be pleasurable. In the right car of course
