My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.

yeah, I was in the Army. They give you like 500 a year in your paycheck. most soldiers use it for beer...
anwyay, No takers on my "thread for the haters" we will title it like "I dont like anyone on the road not in a BMW" than we all come in with sarcastic made up stories about how this car sucks, and that car sucks, and how great BMWs are and how important we are, then leak it on another site???

they would be posts like:
There was this guy in starbucks yesterday and his credit card got declined, figures he walked out and got into a Nissan.
or:
I hate when Somebody parks some peice of garbage like a camry next to my car, It detracts from how awesome it is. Some fat chick probably drives it.
...ya know... stuff like that...

it is what they call cars driven by BMW employees for up to 15K and then they sell lease it at dealers. essentially it is a company car for bmw employees. because it is never titled by anyone other then bmw, it allows bmw to sell these cars with new car perks at used car prices. i leased mine with the new car residual, money factor, all the good stuff, but paid a used car price for it. i think it stands for manufacturer "something" owned

it is medal given to a service member wounded in combat. the license plate basically says "i was wounded in combat, therefore I am a patriot" try being the cop that writes a ticket to the guy who is missing an arm because he was defending freedom. that is the perk

LOL!!!!!
What a great thread. BMW drivers aren't snobs......they just wake up in the morning with a smile on their face thinking about " The Drive". (Nothing to do with Elway and the Browns or Big Ben and the Cardinals).
That is, unless their car is in the shop and they have a loaner.
I thought I solved the problem with a new sign in the rear window: "Please don't cut me off....my car is depreciating faster than yours"
But every SUV in town wants to prove they can out-accelerate you at every stop.....which they usually do after checking my 525i badge.
BTW, has anyone ever figured out why F-150's can drive 40 mph over the speed limit in the South and never get arrested? Police stopping just those they know will pay the fines?

In So Cal there is a large population of 18-22 y/o BMW drivers who can't drive worth a damn and think they are in formula one cars. I almost had to put the smack down on some dumb a$$ spikey haired douche bag driving an e46 who almost slammed in to my car while trying to cut me off in the entrance of a parking lot. My fiance had to beg me not to confront him even though she was cursing her a$$ off. LOL
