Do you give other BMW drivers the special treatment? I do, whenever I see a BMW that wants to merge I always let them. Also if I am on the highway and I see another BMW I usually cruise behind it.

I also see this happening a lot from other drivers. On the way to NC I was behind a E90 325i, and behind me was an X5 we cruised together for an hour or two. Do you guys do the same?

Yes, I do give special treatment to other BMW drivers. I also park near them.

Absolutely!!! Everytime a fellow bmw driver is trying to get in i let them in (i live in LA so there is a lot of traffic of course) I also try to park near other bmw's because our owner seem to be very cognizant of their cars and take more care when opening doors when parking Plus I like to keep my baby in good company when i leave her in the parking lot

Yes I do try to give BMWs perferential treatment although if someone wants to merge, I usually let them in regardless of what they are driving. But I do try never to park next to a beat up car.

I try to be more courteous...it doesn't seem to work in reverse in NJ though. Mini drivers seem to wave and flash at each other (Flash lights...nothing else so far!)

No I don't. I treat every driver pretty much the same.

That'd be amusing if I did that, with 25% of all cars in Bavaria being BMWs
