Here is just a tidbit: http://www.epinions.com/content_960077956

#1:BMW (Any Model). Aggressive: 10 Lack of Attention: 10 Lack of courtesy: 10 Asshole meter: 10
All hail the champion! BMW drivers are bar none, the worst around. They have managed to achieve that elusive combination of disdain, money, attitude, disregard for others, and self-importance that no other drivers have. BMW drivers don't just not care about you ? they HATE you. They hate having to share the road with any other driver. They hate those who drive what they consider sub-standard cars (i.e. any car not costing over $40,000) because they are losers. They hate those who drive Mercedes, Lexus, etc because they are stuffy or old. They hate those who drive SUVs because they take up too much room. They hate those who drive Porsches, Corvettes, and other big-bicks sports cars because those drivers don't drive fast enough. They even hate other BMW drivers because they can't stand that anyone else has their car. BMW drivers are generally white 40-somethings with a wife and three kids, plus a mistress on the side. They tend to be largely lawyers or investment bankers, whose philosophy is that the world is here to serve them, and it is doing a bad job of it. They mistreat and underpay their illegal Honduran or El Salvadoran housekeepers, and consistently mispronounce their names. Their children are named Kaitlyn or Brittney or Chase or Brendan. They were all in either fraternities or sororities, play golf badly, and revere Tiger Woods for being a credit to his race. They are the scum of the earth, and are truly deserving the title of the worst drivers around. If you want to have fun, do yourself a favor and cut a BMW driver off without acknowledging him. Then when he honks his horn or gesticulates at you, give him the bird. The audacity of your display will send him into a rage the likes of which will provide you with hours of enjoyment as you recall how many shades of purple his face became as he cursed you out for soiling his planet with your existence.
So, why do people hate BMW drivers? Are we truly super-pricks or what?! Christ.

I have to admit, however, I laughed my ass off reading the above paragraph...

what's the problem? we are superior and better than all other drivers.

most of the time i equate that stuff to jealousy and some BMW driver pissed them off by cutting them off. you can never please anyone, there will always be rotten apples.

As much as I hate to generalize, I will. It's a slightly unfair stereotype, but most stereotypes have at least some basis in truth, and here it is 100% down to 3 Series drivers.

I hated BMW with a passion. Not because of the car...because of the people I used to know that drove them. They were arrogant, mean, and blah blah blah. I even used to tell jokes to my friends whenever BMW came up in conversation: "What's the difference between porcupines and BMWs? The pricks are on the outside of porcupines... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
AND

Reason being, ALOT of BMW owners are total jerks.
Example, while 60% of japanese luxury brand owners are jerks, 80% of
BMW owners are jerks.

I used to bash on BMW owners(just the owners. I loved the car) all the
times. I still do whenever I encounter cocky bmw owners.
Its not like we own Ferraris here. Ferrari/Aston Martin vanquish owners
deserve to be cocky.

When I drive my honda around, and see nice BMW, I smile and give it a
thumbs up. What they do? They stare at you, sometimes look down on you,
sometimes even laugh at you, sometimes just totally ignore you.

Yes, majority of the BMW owners are cocky.
I was VERY surprised to see BMW owners here in this forum are very
nice actually. Realized, its just this board. When I go to Bimmerfest or
where-ever, same story. All about bashing, laughing at other brand cars.

Pathetic.
WTF?!!? hahaha

Wow, how do they know all that stuff about me?

I've got to keep my personal details hidden a little better....

EDIT - just so this post is not completely without content, I will say that I've gotten more hostility on the road in 6 months of 550i ownership than I have in the last 10 years of driving Porsches. The car really does seem to bring out the anger in people.
