Just find that people are more courteous when your not in a BMW
It may be just a perception but I seem to get let out more in other Marques.

In Britain people dislike other people who are successful, have a nice house, nice car etc - BMW drivers are targetted because drive a bimmer = successful.
Invariably the people who don't let you out at junctions etc drive a shitbox renault or citroen, losers.

Similar thing here in Finland. I read somewhere that BMW is the most probable car to get vandalized, e.g. scratched when parked by the streetside downtown, or wheels punctured at parking lots.
There are people who have the perception that BMW drivers are arrogant yuppies...or they are just jealous...

My Ride: '04 545iS 6 spd, bought new via eBay, 11/05; Blk/Gry, Cold, L7, PDC, BMW Rear seatcover for pets.
First "Bumwa" was a new 1971 2002. High performance 5s since 1987. Beamer motorcycles too, currently on an 07 BMW K1200 GT; also a Moto Guzzi 1000 SP III.
I don't know whether it's triggered by BMWs or, simply, they are asses, but I have been tailgaited much more in the past two years than ever before. I have heard others in standard-sized non-BMW cars say that they feel intimidated by these people in these over-blown pickup trucks with huge tires and raised suspensions.
I love to have them follow too closely onto a long curvy exit ramp that I use every day. I gradually increase speed, and so do they, clinging to my bumper, until they realize--too late--that they can't possibly hold their line through the fast sharp curve....If the sunroof is open, I wave goodbye.
In sum, I think it's a fairly new phenomenon that may well be BMW-related, but is more the result of their inferiority complex not being cured by their idiotic purchase of an oversized pig of a vehicle. I usually smile at them benevolently at the gas station.
At 6 mpg, they deserve benevolence.
Cheers,
Ray Hull
