BMW Bashing

[Mike Walder <miwa@premier.co.uk>]

Hi all,

I seem to have caused a bit of a rift.  I think my points are only really
valid in the UK, and as far as I know the M4 corridor.  This is where most
BMWs (3 to 5 series not M3/5) are driven by company car drivers, who don't
give a s*it about the car, and are not enthusiasts.  They just enjoy
intimidating other drivers.

A BMW is a good car, though I doubt many on this list would agree that it is
"The Ultimate Driving Machine".  It is easy to generalise, because the
particularly bad drivers stand out, and you notice that the car is usually
the same types.

So to conclude, I think BMW enthusiasts are probably as good drivers as AUDI
enthusiasts MB enthusiasts etc., but there seems to be an elite band of bad
BMW drivers in this area, these are most certainly not enthusiasts,
otherwise they'd treat their car with more respect.
