pjay 8 Report post Posted March 29, 2009 A Day In The Life Of A BMW Driver The other day I was cruising along as usual coming onto one of my interstates, which was very busy with inferior cars. First off, I couldn’t believe that the volume of traffic DIDN’T slow down for me AT ALL as I came off the exit ramp! I had to squeeze into a barely big enough gap between two cars in order to get onto my motorway! The driver of the car behind me did realise his mistake though and honked an apology to me with a long blast of his horn. Unbelievably, I had to do the same again before I could get to the BMW lane. Anyway, once I was in the BMW lane and posing along at 110 mph enjoying the adulation that the inferior car drivers were giving me, I noticed an inferior car ahead of me which was not only in the BMW lane of my motorway, but was driving at a ridiculous 70 mph! Naturally, I got within a foot or so of his rear bumper and flashed my headlights to remind him he shouldn’t be in the BMW lane of my motorway and to get out of my way. Of course, once he realised it was a BMW behind him, he did just that, but I could hardly believe it when he pulled straight back out behind me! He also tried to keep up with me and when he realised I would out-run him, he put on some blue lights in his front grill and urged me to get onto the hard shoulder so that he could congratulate me on my excellent car. Needless to say, I was eager to oblige and when we had stopped, the man gave me a piece of paper confirming what I already knew - that my car goes fast! Apparently he wants everyone to know what a superior car I have, so I had to take my drivers licence to a police station to be sent away to have some points put on! (They’re not free points either - they’re £20 each and I was only allowed 3.) But the man at the police station said that because I drive a BMW, it won’t be much longer before I earn the full 12 points, and then I won’t even NEED a driving licence, so they will take it off me! See, now THAT’S the sort of respect you get when you own and drive a BMW! According to a new German car magazine survey, BMW drivers have all the luck.

pjay 8 Report post Posted March 29, 2009 And another BMW means "Brings Me Women!" BMW drivers have more sex than owners of any other cars and are much more active than Porsche drivers. The German magazine "Men's Car" found in a survey of 2,253 motorists aged 20 to 50 published in its inaugural May issue that male BMW drivers say they have sex on average 2.2 times each week while Porsche drivers have sex 1.4 times per week. Following BMW drivers were Audi (2.1), Volkswagen (1.9), Ford (1.7) and Mercedes (1.6). Drivers of foreign car makes were also behind BMW with Italian cars (2.0), French (1.9), Japanese (1.8), Swedish (1.6) and Korean cars (1.5) trailing after. Among women, French car drivers were top with 2.1 times per week followed by Audi (2.0), Italian (2.0), and BMW (1.9) with Porsche again at the bottom of the scale at 1.2 times per week.

pjay 8 Report post Posted March 29, 2009 (edited) And on the topic of lol, a silly Subaru driver thought his 1999 GT legacy wagon could be faster than my 328i and attempted to drag me off on my drive back from down the line. Needless to say he lost. 1999 Subaru Legacy GT wagon * 2,458 cc 2.5 liters 4 horizontal front longitudinal engine with 99.5 mm bore, 79 mm stroke, 9.7 compression ratio, light alloy block, light alloy head, double overhead cam and four valves per cylinder * Power: 123 kW , 165 HP @ 5,600 rpm; 162 ft lb , 225 Nm @ 4,000 rpm * curb weight (kg) 1,474 1995 BMW 328i * 2,793 cc 2.8 liters 6 in-line front longitudinal engine with 84 mm bore, 84 mm stroke, 10.2 compression ratio, cast iron block, light alloy head, double overhead cam, variable valve timing/camshaft and four valves per cylinder * Power: 142 kW , 190 HP @ 5,300 rpm; 206 ft lb , 279 Nm @ 3,950 rpm * Weights: curb weight (kg) 1,425 Even on paper he didn't stand a chance. I don't know if its just me (I think it is), but whenever someone tries dragging me off or giving me a little race I get their plate and check the specs of their car, just so I know how mine really rates in the real world.

Driftit 2078 Report post Posted March 29, 2009 1999 Subaru Legacy GT wagon You have the wrong details for a GT Wagon. All the NZ new and Jap GT's are Twin Turbo in that year. And 2ltr not the 2.5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
