Yea I find I'm pretty despised when I blow by a moron talking on their cell phone, barely making the speed limit and usually weaving like they are wasted. I guess it scares them when the Dinan exhaust is roaring and I blow by because I'd like to get where I'm going before the end of century.
I used to really piss people off in the M3, that thing sounded nasty at 5k RPM and above. But again its always in response to someone who in my opinion is not paying attention to what they are doing, piloting a 3,000-4,000 piece of motorized steel, plastic, no seat belt, etc.

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...![Cool](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/cool.gif)

My wife (drives a 335xi) passed a guy in an Audi S8 a few weeks ago on a secondary road. They ended up at the same location and he left a message on her window that said "Stupid driving. Typical bimmer attitude, Drive smarter". I framed it and put it on the wall in the garage! LOL!

I drive my Smart car more aggressively than my 550 at times. People just laugh at me. I wonder what the reaction of those same people would be if I made the identical move on them in my 550. I guess it would be hate and disgust based on this thread.

I say, screw everyone else - I'm in a Bimmer, I'm higher in the "food chain", boooooy! Move over or get run over by the Bomber! Them studdering imbecils, who think they can drive getn' mad at us??? PAAAA-LEEEEEASE!!!! They aren't mad, they are just jealous. Simply jealous. And you know what, originally, I got the Bimmer bc of the engineering, the design, the things that I appreciated about it, but now that I see that it happens to be an object of envy - why the **** should it be any other way?! And this perpetual roundabout of BMW drivers being perceived as as*h**es and actually acting as such on the account of everyone else on the road discriminating against us - that's not going anywhere, so better be sure you grab your bat when you go to practice ;-)

i only get problems from Lexus drivers usually the IS and GS, they are complete idiots,
and some MBenz road hogs, whether real AMG or fake AMG.
In HK the E60 (modded) gets a lot of respect on the road, even from Jap cars, cos
it still rules the executive car throne.....

No matter where I am, or what I'm driving, it's the Mustang dudes who feel the need to rev on me. I had a Caddy before I had the 545, and dudes in Mustangs would give me the WORST looks, and then blow by me or cut me off. I have NO clue why. I worked for this dealer in Irvine, we had all sorts of fun toys. One morning I was making about a 2 mile trip in the Noble M12 GTO 3R we had... FUN... Anyway, I'm at the light just leaving the dealer, and I look over and this dude in a Mustang GT was just staring at me... I was sort of creeped out, then I just laughed when he took off all fast. Just about sucked his doors off on the way to the service center... WHEEEE! At that point I had had enough of the evil eye. A couple weeks later, the EXACT same thing happened, only I was in my boss' delicious 700HP Porsche Turbo... Dude's pride had to have been crushed... or maybe he just wanted to see the Turbo fly? I don't know. A question for any 'stang guys on here... How have I offended you? It's gotten to the point where I just open my door and vomit whenever I see a Mustang. I didn't used to have anything against them. The evil pony gang has left me alone since I've had my 545. Rev on a Noble, but not a Bimmer? What gives? Can't we all just get along?

I purchased my first BMW in 2006. It took less than 1 hour for the first person to cut me off and give me the bird.
Granted, the E60 lends it's self well to driving 80mph - smooth and powerfull.
I've suggested that we have two speed limits. One for those with a BMW and one for everyone else.
Elitist? Maybe, but it's a damn fine car.
