Adolescent? I'm 19 and I probably wouldn't do that. Make that never. It could very well be an adult. In all of this you couldn't get the plates?
Nothing against you being 19 - but typically speaking those ages tend to think less and act more for no reason, or to show off to friends.
Dont take it as directed towards you. I consider everyone on this forum cool by default.

The guy literally had my car's twin and was about a millimeter from my bumper,
acting all hard ass, circling my car in a confrontational manner.

a teenager driving a Honda Civic buy me a new front bumper this morning when cutting
me off, gotta love the brakes on the BMW, 2nd to none.

I guess its just the type of ppl, Im 21 and i wouldve just waived or gave you a thumbs up to a fellow E60er...
Yeah, same here. Since I've got mine about three weeks ago, I've seen more and more E60s, someone on my main street even has a black 535xi as I do which kinda cheese me off, but even then, it's nice to see someone with your type of car, an exclusive kind of club.

Your wallet and then a complimentary waffle.
Yeah, I've done my fair share of dumb shit, but I've luckily never hurt anyone, including myself. I've kinda chilled after getting my BMW, which I guess it does that to you. Like I said, I never feel the need to show off or intimidate anyone on the streets, and if I had to do the latter, I'd wait till i have enough for my Dinan stage 2. Got some long hours of working to do.

these type of behavior are very well known in the asian countries, where the need to show your social status is definitely preprogrammed into everybody... but I can honestly say that I would never engage in these type of behavior in my Beemer. I mean, yeah, you got a nice car... keep it to yourself... thats what I think... When you see others with nice cars... give a head nod, acknowledge he has a ncie car, but not drool all over it, show some class... whether you're the one in the nicer car or he's the one in the nicer car... again... show some class and courtesy towards people of all walks of life...
