What will you say?
If I even cared I might ask what they drive. I really don't care what other people think of what I drive.

I have not had a single person say to me that the E60 is ugly. Everyone, I know loves the car and in fact some are considering buying this car.

Of course, this type of comment promotes anger, after all, we E60 owners are proud of our cars and loyal BMW owners. There are few cars on the road that I would rather be driving and one of them is the M5, the other is the new 911 turbo so except for these two cars, I could have bought an audi or a Mercedes, I just didn't like them. So, when someone speaks ill of my ride, I just tell them to eat sh_t and die. Just kidding

Why answer at all, we've all worked hard to purchase our dream cars, who cares what someone else thinks.

Honestly, I think anyone who speaks in this manner about someone else's car is feeling insecure about themselves or about their own car.

For what its worth, I would never think this clearly if someone were to ask these things in front of my face. I have other ways of responding.

Bad taste on cars is a common phenomenon, otherwise all cars out there would be BMWs and then, we all here, would be common people

Anyway, I would try to change his mind, showing him Alex's video 100 times (under coercion) as a penalty
