The M40 is getting to be full of women driving BMW's on the phone zig zagging in and out...... One today was driving like a complete tw@t and nearly forced an old lady off the road, grrrr. It must be a BMW thing, nice cars, c@$%*@$ drivers, male and female.

BTW, those 320 diesels shift, better get the ppp soon!

I am only obnoxious if my fragile and sensitive skin is bruised...

Plus, frankly, BMW owners are such sad basturds that if you can't laugh and poke fun at them, really you only have rubber chickens left, and, although the rubber chicken is marginally smarter than the average BMW driver... I have never found them funny)

before i say anything, i had a scooby!

And i know what you mean, i myself now a bmw driver, just got told to "F OFF!" when i just wanted to ask how she got her M3 alloys to fit, BITC*!!!!

Me, i miss the scoob, can't afford the running costs with long journeys but damn do i miss owning one and being proud and to talk to other fellow scooby owners nicely without being told to F OFF!

Seems strange as a lot of us M3 drivers are ex scooby drivers,,
Also whats a Basturd??

Maybe we learn to spell when we move to the dark side..

BMW drivers are largely self important scum with less money than sense (have very little sense as they bought the BMW, not enough cash cos they are clearly trying to be aspirational and ended up with a BMW instead about as common as a Vectra-LOL)

Ever notice how 318 drivers in particular seem to think they are driving the fastest car on the road? They always look so humiliated when you don't take them on.........and beat them anyway. What a bunch of losers.

Also X5 owners- I can't think of an insult bad enough......they are already insulting themselves by driving a 5 series on stilts.

Litle footnote the only BMW's that are in any way desireable have either an "M" (only a few of the M cars though) or "CSL" in the name.

I'm a 318 owner now!! I don't race scoobies as i know what they are capable of, money wise it's a LOT cheaper to run then a scooby.

During the last part of 2001 I had to drive an M3, the circumstances were complex but the car was my only transport for a month, it was fast and quite good fun, but the worst thing about owning such a car is the way you are viewed by other drivers. No one EVER lets you out from a turning, in my Soarer with its Lexus badges and understated looks EVERYONE 'lets me out' I live near one of 'those' Junctions, you know the type, in My soarer I have never had a problem getting out... ever, in the BMW I could sit for 15minutes even other BMW drivers don't let you go!
On the M4 I have never had been trailed by the rozzers since getting rid of my DB7, but that damned M3 had them back on my tail twice, I wasn't stopped but it was infuriating to be trailed at 75mph for mile after mile.
In London it just got worse Taxi drivers actually aim for these cars of that I'm certain, I could go on but suffice to say that when my baby returned and the M3 went back I was just SO thankful, to pay big money to be treated with such contempt is just plain stupid to me.

pfffft Nice generalisation there..... Dont confuse the common BMW's with some of the not-so-common BMW's.

There are some non-M cars that will shame a lot of other cars (including Scoobies) easily....

Why? Or is the truth that you actually have a short circuit between your mouth and ringpiece?

its actually quite rare to see a BMW driver talking on his mobile as most have to sit on their phones when making conversation...

Ohwell leave you boys to your toys.

Very sad to see how a few of your scooby drivers are really,,
I remember going to the meets and enjoying myself,
but since the roads are getting full of scoobys and the prices are dropping like flies I suppose it is in the realms of kids now.
You lot will all have your Powermax stickers in them soon.

I'm not one of the max power crew, I bought my old wagon as cheap run around fodder. Nothing worse than some nobber modding a car, especially when its a 318.

M5 is the only current beemer I have any respect for, the new M3 is a bit of a hairdressers posing tool. When the CSL 3 series comes out there will be a true M power 3 series.

windows were down so couldn't tell whether it had pimp tints or not
