Do rich people even buy BMWs anymore? Could have sworn all the company did now was sell it's 80's version of cars to Poor's pretending to be rich.

I bought mine from a dealer in bumfuck michigan who had it for a year because it didn't have heated seats. It was 2 years old with 20K miles and cost about as much as a brand new Chevy Malibu. Since paying it off my only issue is I can't get a newer one because the thing is still basically brand new and will last another 10 years. Also I understand the stigma with bmw drivers and always try to be extra considerate because it really surprises people. Except for other BMW drivers. gently caress those guys.

If you own a 3 cylinder BMW with FWD you are everything that is wrong with the world (216i active tourer is the worst car in the world).
E: I suppose the 3 cylinders with RWD are also pretty bad, like you can tell you have RWD when you have all of 100 hp on tap.

Haha yeah. A few years ago I got nailed sitting at a red light and then a week later some dipshit crammed on his brakes until he was beside us and then ripped the wheel to the right forcing my wife and I into a telephone pole. We literally went from two cars to zero in a week.

I used the insurance money to buy a BMW lol

Honestly a bmw driving a bit recklessly is preferable to that fogey in a real nice anything going 5 under in the left lane. For the most part you can be aware of and work around people who are driving too aggressively on the road, but why would you get a nice car and then drive it like you're afraid of it I don't get it.

No, they have to be added on, like sun roofs. Most BMW owners forego them.

"Tiny Trains"

Probably confirmation bias, but BMW drivers seem way over-represented in lovely drivers I see on the road. And they're usually lovely in the same overconfident/entitled way. My wife works insurance and she always takes a deep breath when opening up a new claim on a BMW because she's found them to be generally very unpleasant to deal with, enough to have detected a pretty strong pattern. No other car type or client type has a strong association like that. She gets everything from people who hosed up their insurance on their $500 clunker because they just got out of jail to people writing off their $150k supercar, but BMW owner is an instant and reliable red flag that she's about to be dealing with a lovely entitled rear end in a top hat.

The things we buy are a reflection of our selves, there's something with BMW's that attracts assholes.

In my experience BMW drivers tend to be the fast, aggressive drivers (which can be ok)... Mercedes drivers are usually bad/inconsiderate... and Lexus are bad/unaware of all of their surroundings. So regarding the "big 3" of luxury car assholes, I actually prefer the BMW rear end in a top hat since they tend to get out of the way at least.

This is all correct

i don't see why subarus are there. most are fine and normal, if only maybe too much of exactly at the speed limit/come to complete 5s second stop at every stop sign/signals/whatever. they're following the laws so w/e, good for them (tho we're all speeddemon assholes with a deathwish so we find that annoying)

audis are still the worst by far.

They constantly cut me off or I see them cutting other people off. When traffic is backed up I always see a BMW weaving in and out of cars. My next door neighbor owns a BMW convertible, it's a stick and he doesn't know how to drive it. He always backs his car up into the driveway so the front bumper is facing the street, but it takes him 5 minutes because he doesn't know how to reverse uphill. I've sat there and watched him, he's scared that he's going to dump the clutch and run into the garage door. It's hilarious. He's a major douche who wears neon orange shoes and smokes cigars. The only reason he's driving the BMW is because his daddy owns a car dealership.

I drive a BMW and im also an rear end in a top hat, so I think your onto something OP
